Default C6

Just pulled the trigger on an 07 vert. One owner with 2500 miles... 3Lt, Nav, A6 with paddle shift, F55 suspension, black on black with the two tone black/grey interior.... I had my doubts when I sat down in the car. When I started her up and hit the street I was amazed... Chevy did some great things with the C6 !

Having gone to school with the owners son, who is about to take over the dealership, has distinct advantages

Pics next week. I pick her up in Eugene, Or this thursday...

Isn't that annoying? You go to a dealership with no intention of buying one, then you take the "test drive"..... and the never leaves.

Get's you everytime!

Congratulations!
