New owner to be.
Greetings. Just a new (hopefully sooner than later)owner to be here posting an intro. I found this site thanks to a friend. The wife and I currently own 2 turbo subarus. We are looking to add a c6 to the stable really soon. Any recommendations and info will be appreicated. Im fairly sure we want a base model 2008+ with Z51 package. Any other options are not required. Im also thinking we will buy used for our 1st Corvette.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to post photos soon when we find our perfect Corvette.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!! Glad to have you here. 
Hope you can find the car you want soon. 
Here's an example of what's available new. It's a real buyer's market now.
2009 Corvette Coupe –New, 1 Mile on the Odometer
Cyber Gray Metallic
Ebony Leather
Package 1LT
6 Speed Manual Transmission
Z51 Performance Handling Pkg
NPP Dual Mode Exhaust
Built before the last several price increases!
MSRP $50,785
GM Employee Price (GMS) $45,950.88
NOW $43,700 (Must be a member of a credit union)
+ Dealer Prep, Documentation, Process Fees, Etc. $0
Fichtner Chevrolet FINAL PRICE $43,700
This is $2250.88 BELOW GMS!!
It's hard to go used when a new one is this reasonable.

Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome. I hope to have made a purchase in the next few months. We are in no hurry to find one. It will have to be the perfect car for us.
