New Member wanting first Corvette
Hello,
I joined the forum primarily to search for a C6 Corvette to buy. I didn't know what I wanted at first but now I have narrowed my search to an 08+ manual Z51. Now that I know what I want I'm trying to be a bit more active on the forum so I can unlock private messages and start talking to sellers. Hoping to stick around and be active here for a long while.

Welcome from SE Ohio. I bought my 09 C6 early last August. It seems that we probably narrowed our search along similar lines with the exception of the Z51 package which wasn’t a priority for me. There seem to be quite a few available. I’d check a variety of sources, I found mine on CarGurus about 1 1/2 hours away and could not be any happier - these are great cars. Best of luck with your search!
