Default Greetings from Canada!

Hello to all!

Newly registered member from north of the border! (Close to Montreal)

I figured i'd say hi.

I'm currently shopping for my first Corvette. Likely going with a 2005 or 2006.

I see a lot of audio options, but one thing i'm very confused about is the bose vs non-bose. Which head unit is Bose? Doesnt seem to say so on it. Do they all have Bose speakers? Some cars i've seen for sale seem to have the basic head-unit but then pops a picture of a speaker grill with the Bose logo. It'll be important once I want to install an aftermarket unit and need to pick the right cabling.

Othen than that, I look forward to owning one!!!

Marc

Thanks guys!

I had a very unpleasant experience last night.

I drove 2 hours to go see a 2006, it was in immaculate shape. I get there, look it over, i'm excited. Salesman asks if I want to take it for a test drive, naturally i say yes. He grabs my drivers license to go run a check before we go. When he gets back, he says: "I'm afraid i have some bad news, we just sold it over the phone".

I was livid. That's pretty low giving first pick to someone who's not even on site.

The 2 hour drive home was pretty quiet... (still pissed this morning)...

Well don't feel bad, cars slip through people's hands everyday. There will be another, and even better Vette for you! Stay positive.

That is very unfortunate. Just remember, there is always another deal around the corner.
Patience!
