Default New guy looking to buy a C7 soon

Hello people, new guy here. I currently own a 2016 Dodge Charger SRT 392 that I bought new, factory order, that is my year round daily driver.

Looking to pay it off in the Spring and grab a C7 for summer fun. I've already been looking online just gauging what I can buy for my budget, which is $CDN 60k before tax.

I owned a C3 and a C4 back in the 90's. Yes I'm old but this is no midlife crisis. Just finally back in the market for another one.

My plan is to read, read, read and know what to look for and what questions to ask when it comes time to purchase.

Thanks in advance for having me,

-=FLEX=-

Welcome to the forum!
You'll find lots of great members and helpful information about the C7s at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-141/.
As you have a chance to read through the different discussions and especially the Sticky Threads at the top of the different sections you will learn what to look for and perhaps what questions to ask when you are looking at a prospective purchase.
There is also a good "For Sale" section within the C7 area. You might even find your "perfect" C7 there!
Best wishes with your search.
