Intro
Hello all,
My name is Miles and I've decided to join this forum as I've always loved corvettes and have been thinking of buying a used C6. This past Saturday I went to several used car dealerships in NJ looking at 2006 - 2008 models (manual transmission) as well as one 1993 model. Im 28, live in NYC, and my parents could not be more against this purchase. However, I have always dreamed of owning a corvette, I love everything about them, and sitting in one seems to me the closest ill ever get to piloting a fighter jet. If anyone can point me to the best forum for buying a used C6 advice or provide any advice you have on your own would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum, Miles!
For information on what to look for when buying a C6 check out the great fols and helpful information in the C6 sections at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/. Especially read the Sticky Threads at the top of the General section.
If you decide to go the C3 route, then do the same.....read through info and Sticky Threads in the C3 sections at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1968-1982-5/. Members there will also be very helpful, but reading as much in the C3 and C6 sections as you can before raising questions will perhaps help direct your questions better.
Best wishes with your search!

Welcome to the forum. I recommend you check out the C3 General and C6 General sections of the forum - they both should have information about buying that generation of Corvette as well as very helpful members to answer any questions you may have.
