First Time Vette Owner From Ohio
Hi everyone!
Finally was able to buy the corvette I wanted. Once the wife was on board, I didn't waste time finding one! Took me two weeks to find a great deal on a 2008 1LT 6-speed manual. I was able to get the dealer to come down 3 grand, and they were priced aggressively before that too! It only has 34k miles and is in really great shape. The previous owner bought it as a certified pre-owned vehicle in 2013 and only put 1000 miles on it! Unfortunately, the weather is getting really crappy around here and I won't really get to drive it much in the next coming months.... Excited to be a part of the community!
