Hi all...new member from Canada here. I originally purchased a brand new C8 when they first came out in 2020. I had seen a premier edition C7 in Elkhart lake Green and fallen in love with it. I could not find one though, until 3 weeks ago. Got this limited edition C7 with only 29,000 km ( that's about 18,000 miles) on it.. Sold the C8 and am loving the C7. Have used the search feaure on here a few times to figure stuff out. great resource. Thanks to all, and take care.

Greetings fellow Canadian, John. I have multiple family members in the Toronto area since the past several decades.

That's an interesting switch from a c8 to a c7, but it's a good move if you're happy and you found what you're looking for.

Glad you figured out the search function and you've made your way around. Please let us know if you need anything and don't forget to post some pictures which we would love to see.

Congrats on your new Corvette! I really, really like those C7 Premier Editions. Very cool that you were able to keep the faith and keep searching until you hit paydirt! Send some pictures our way, eh? No disrespect, a feeble attempt at humor! Seriously, though, how about some pictures of that beauty?

Welcome!

need photos of your cars! Certainly the C7 at least. I can understand the switch from the c8 to the c7 for sure.

where in Canada are you? I’m in Burlington Ontario. I’ve got a FBO C7 Z06 with a manual!

we’ll have to ride sometime
