Default newbie from ct needs advice!

whats up guys! i came on here to get some oppinions, i will start by giving you a little background history of myself, im a 21 year old male out and on my own, i have good job and love cars. I currently own a 2011 wrx sedan that i bought new in 2011, i have loved the car and i have always loved subarus but recently i had the chance to drive a lamborghini and fell in love with the power and feel of driving a true sports car. Now while i make a decent income i realize i could never in my dreams afford a $200k+ car. which got me looking and i found that you could get a preowned c6 with low miles anywhere from $27-35k. I love that body style and i have still yet to drive one, but i wanted to know what you guys would think about trading in my almost new car and getting 5-8 year old c6 corvette. the car wouldnt be my daily driver as i would get another cheap car to beat on in the winter and on rainy days. but how reliable are these vettes? what ind of miles do you guys have on yours? we all know subarus are very reliable cars and i would just hate to get rid of a nice car with warranty for a vette and regret it if something ever broke. any oppions are appreciated

Welcome to the Forum and it would be a good idea to post over in C6 General and talk to owners of the kind of car your looking for.
