New C5 Owner CenCal
Hello, my name is Christian. Im 18 and just bought my first corvette. My first car was a dodge charger sxt 2006. I went in halfs with my parents on it when I turned 16. I have been keeping a eye out for either a corvette or a 5th Gen camaro for the last year or so, and finally I decided a c5 was the most bang for buck car I could get right now. So I sold my charger last weekend. Bummed a ride around town all week until I was able to take the 4 hour drive down to LA to buy this car. The seller was asking 12,000 for his 2002, silver 6 speed, corvette coupe with an AFE intake, Corsa sport axel back, and BBK short throw shifter. I had the car inspected by a mechanic and everything checked out. I offered him 10,500,... and now I have a vett.
