Hello all...
Personal: Native of Shreveport, Louisiana currently live in Northern Va. I'm a huge fan (and alum) of both LSU and Grambling State. I'm also a Saints fan, and most importantly, I'm a long time admirer and fan of the Corvette! I'm now in a position to change that, and in the market for a C6 Vert. I'm actively looking, but haven't found one at my price with all of the features and in the condition that I want. I hope to join you in ownership soon though.

@Route99,
Indeed, I actually like the mixed weather. Coming from Louisiana where it was hot or ice storms the wider ranging mix is appreciated.

Welcome from SE Ohio. I’ve owned my C6 coupe for a little over a year and love it. I searched pretty much daily on a couple of sites until MY Corvette came up for sale. Keep looking, be patient, and best of luck finding YOUR Corvette.

Yeah, patience is hard, there is a lot of inventory out there. I had some specific features that I wanted as well as minimal condition. I have nothing but time so this is a buyers market for sure...

I think having your parameters set will be very helpful in your search. Last summer I had my years(08-13), base coupe, M6, very low miles, colors. Now you’re in position to keep looking until one comes up that checks your boxes.
There are quite a few Corvettes on the market. I check comps to mine every few months out of curiosity. My car would cost me a few hundred more this year than last, but would have been much cheaper a few years ago. It’s hard to say where prices will be over the next year. Again, best of luck!

Found it! '10 3LT Vert, black on black! No mods to speak of other than some cosmetic things blacked out lights and such... I'm now a C6 owner. I used CarGurus, and found a car at Acura Memphis that is being delivered to me after a good detail and wheel rash repair. Hopefully I figure out how to add photos before it arrives!
