Default Hey!

Hey, new to the forum, and Corvettes honestly! I've always admired from afar, but always been more of a Ford guy. I've been lucky enough to have had an 09 CTS-V for the last 4 years, which has definitely swayed my opinions. The V was a truly amazing car, but now that it's gone, it's time to move up to a C7! I'm in the market at the moment, just looking every day and trying to learn as much as I can to help me find my first C7!

Russ

Looks like a very nice CTS-V that you had. Best of luck with your Corvette search and welcome to the forum.

Thanks guys, appreciate it! Very strange market right now. Used car prices are on the decline, but no telling when and where they'll stop. Hate to buy something now and it be worth a bunch less in 6 months. But I guess that's just the chance I take if I want to buy now. Part of me says be smart and wait it out, but the louder part says I need a Vette NOW! You guys know that voice, I'm sure. I'll definitely post when I find something!

Welcome to the Forum, Russ, and best wishes with your C7 search!
Great approach to learn as much as you can about C7s; definitely will make you a better prepared shopper.
Guess we used to be neighbors - used to have a town house in Fairfax Circle. Lot of great things to see and do in the DC area but do not miss the weather or traffic.
