My wife and I just bought our first corvette. C7 2014 Z51 1LT convertible in torch red. It has a few more miles on it that what we wanted but the car hits the itch we were looking to scratch. It's red, its convertible, and its drivable.

Welcome to the Forum, Mike, and congratulations on your nice C7!
I wouldn’t worry too much about the mileage if it was taken of properly - there is a C5 with over 700,000 miles in the National Corvette Museum!
Enjoy your ride and save the wave!
