1st vette when debt free
I'm 48 years old and plan to purchase my first Corvette in 2 years when wife and I are debt free(including mortgage). I have owned a 2000 Camaro SS and enjoyed modding it from a 13.5 second car to a 12.0 second car. I plan to purchase a vette in super nice condition but that will already be that fast. Looking at a C6 or C7 Z06.

That's an exciting plan! The C6 or C7 Z06 sounds like a dream, especially with your background in modding. Waiting until you're debt-free, including the mortgage, is a wise move. It ensures you can fully enjoy the experience without financial stress. Also, have you considered consulting a Mortgage Broker in Brentwood for expert insights? They might help optimize your financial strategy.

I agree. I ended up purchasing a 2011 Grand Sport. It was a dream come true. What an amazing car and an amazing experience flying to Detroit and driving it home.
