Another New guy from Tejas
Top of the mornin' to ya ladies and gents-
Purchased my first Corvette last month and have been engulfing myself with information from this forum and decided it would be proper to register and create an account for myself. Despite the market being crazily inflated, I found myself a gold nugget deal I couldn't pass on and became a proud owner of a one owner, 21k mile C7 (2015) M7.
Had test driven 4 of them and there was no comparison between buying from the dealership (where they vehicles felt lose and ragged out) vs this older gentleman who meticulously cared for this car. Happy to meet all of you and thanks for all the information I've already learned thus far.
-Dan
