Default First Corvette

I just bought my first corvette on impulse..I didn't even know what a C4 was .I just bought it because I liked it.It runs perfect,and shifts good..The guy I bought it from lives on a better road than me,and when I test drove it I was impressed..I first found this site because when I drove the car home on my road I thought there was something wrong with it because of the ride..LOL.I had never even been in a Corvette before,I was expecting a smooth ride.Either the car has gotten better or I've gotten used to it.I look for any excuse to drive it..I think I paid too much for it at 6,000 because it has high miles..I didn't know that they were thought less of than most Corvettes..But I enjoy driving it so much that I don't feel guilty for paying it.....Charlie

Welcome,, it doesnt sound like the price price is to high if its in good condition. I paid 4k for my 88 coupe that had almost a 165k miles on it a few years ago. It ran great but had some other issues still loved it and couldnt drive it enough
