That is gorgeous! I may be slightly biased... As I am addicted to the yellow juice!

I found mine at a BMW dealership. It had 5000 miles and I got it for 52000. It's a 2015 LT2 Z51 with MSRC. The previous owner's wife made him trade it in, I love her!

Great price and great buying strategy! I too like to look for used cars at the wrong dealership. The BMW dealer does not give a rats butt about getting full value for a Chevrolet Corvette. To them it is not a great vehicle because it is not a BMW. It's just a number in a book that they want to turn a profit on. Zero in on all the cars at the wrong dealerships that are acceptable to you and watch them like a hawk. I bought my C7 3LT Z51 vert from an Acura dealer that dropped the price $8,000 in one day. It was also the end of a month when I believe they desperately needed to make quota and my stack of Benjamin's probably saved jobs.

I too am trading in a low mileage sweet ride to buy my wife a BMW. But you can bet it is not a Corvette. I love my wife a lot but making me trade in one of my Corvettes? That would be heartless.

Thanks. I googled the best animated Corvette burnout I could find and shrunk it down to make it fit here as an Avatar. I only wish it was in Velocity Yellow! One of my sons said I should edit the frames but that sounds like way too much effort. When my tires get worn down maybe I will record my own.
