Looking for my first Vette
My name's Jon, I'm 38 and, live in southwest Indiana. Lifelong Corvette fan but have always made an excuse to not buy one. I think I'm finally getting ready to take the plunge. Will be seriously looking in a few more weeks. I have researched and overanalyzed everything to death. I was originally thinking about a C5 but it looks like those price tags are holding steady and the C6 prices are still moving downwards. Having said that I believe I have settled on a 08+ 6 speed manual. It looks like there are some better deals on this forum than what I'm seeing on Facebook or autotrader. Thanks for having me.
