New C6 Owner from NoCal
Hey Everyone,
After years of talking about it, my spouse and I made the plung and replaced our 2001 BMW 530i with a 2009 C6 3lt in Cyber Gray and Black/Red two tone interior. The vette makes the bmw feel like a Honda.
i shopped around a lot and narrowed my search down to a 2008+ Coupe Automatic. I wanted the L3 motor, couldn’t stand all the manual shifting, and decided convertibles were not as practical as coupes. Found this one at Carmax in Fairfield,CA and they did a free transfer to my local CarMax.
26k, $29k
