Got my dream car
Hi all, I have been lurking on this form for a couple of years now trying to learn as much as I could about the C6. Been saving and dreaming of one day owning one. My wife knows my passion and after she battled cancer last year ( and won), she said she wanted to see me in a Vette. Started looking last January, made a couple of offers on a 06 and a 07 from a dealer that was asking too much $$ but they didn't accept. I thought for the money I had to spend that it would be in the 06 to 08 year range. Long story short, on May 3rd found and bought from a private party a 2011 Torch Red base A6 3LT with black interior with less than 14,000 miles on it for $35K. I love this car, it's so much fun and have already taken a small road trip and it was great. Thanks for all the great info and still much to learn.

Very nice. Congrats on getting your dream car. :cheers:
|
Congrats first go to your wife. I wish her the best.
That's one good looking Vette. Congrats and enjoy. :cheers: |
I think you got a pretty good deal on that car, at least compared to me. I bought an '09 two years ago (so they were the same age when purchased) for $36K, but it's only a 1LT. It has "premium" paint so that's a $1K uptick in MSRP, but you still got a really good deal. Mine had just over 12K miles when I bought it.
And ... great news about your wife. She had a tough battle I'm sure. |
Looks very nice, congrats on your find. Also great news on your wife! Hope she will enjoys the vette as much as your going to.

Uncannily similar
Believe it or not, my story is not very different from yours. After my wife won a long battle she also told me to by a Corvette. Last week I bought an '08 M6 3LT Z51 that looks exactly like yours. Good luck to you and your wife.
