Funny Question
Hello all, I’ve got kind of a funny question here that I am curious about. I know c6s even at the bargain price you can get them at today, are pretty expensive. The c7s especially are quite a pretty penny. I’m curious as to what you guys do for a living and if it’s not too intrusive to ask, how old the majority of c6 owners in here are. I ask this because I’m 24 going on 25 and have only owned an 87 c4. I’m currently looking into a C6 Grand Sport to buy outright most likely from one of the members on here, but I know it’s not easy to save upwards of 30-37 grand in cash nowadays. Just a curiosity kills the cat type of question in my head lol. 😁 |

This was taken way before ... when I was then drinking, gambling, snorting cocaine, throwing away all my money, and hanging around with pimps and drug addicts ...

I'll be 68 next month, self-employed toolmaker, still working full time because I enjoy it. I could retire if I wanted to but would rather work.
I've always been a one-man operation so I never made a lot of money, but I know how to live frugally -- so my '07 C6 is just a fair-weather toy now that I'm friggin' old, and having it helps with my attempts to not be the richest guy in the graveyard. :( Spending less than you earn and investing the difference, over a lifetime (or even less) will serve you well. https://s19.postimg.cc/lyjmvcrvn/shoot_gun.gif Attachment 48333445https://s19.postimg.cc/78ysquplv/machinegun.gif |
Exercise Physiologist, college Professor & national Education Manager for a pretty iconic, global organization. Wife is a clinical territory rep for a top medical device company specializing in neurovascular interventions (stroke, brain tumor, etc.). She trains doctors on how to use equipment to save people’s lives. I educate people on how to, hopefully, prevent many of those health issues that lead to chronic disease. My wife bought me the Corvette 10 days before my 41st birthday & after I bought her her Jeep. The Jeep was quite a bit more than the Corvette so she upgraded my wheels/tires, hood & seats :lol: We’re closer to even now. ;) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f80533b27.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6700e5549.jpeg |

Healthcare finance - 37 - 07 Z06 I've had 4 C5s (3 of which were Z06s) before I was finally able to buy the C6Z a few weeks ago. I don't want to speak in general, but I think most of us have taken a significant hit on the wallet (and from the old lady) while purchasing these cars, but it's very rewarding. You're young enough to make it happen. Consider a C5Z at half the price? Good luck in your search! |
Building contractor and 57....this is my 3rd corvette..05 DSO with widebody kit and other upgrades...love the car so much that won't part with it for a GS or c7. Plus its paid for..:thumbs:

30. Behavior analyst finishing graduate school. 1st Vette 3mo ago. C6 base. Definitely took out a loan for it though, since I couldn't wait any longer :cheers:
|
36, I work in Oil and Gas as a division order analyst. My wife, 38 is a business development manager for an airplane hydraulics manufacturer. The second income is key to having a nice house, toys and not have to worry about making bills every month. If your looking at paying $30K+ cash for a C6 at the age of 24, you're well ahead of me at that stage in life. I've always had bad ass toys, but always had a fat payment to go with them.

Self employed. Made OK money and lived beneath my means. While friends of mine were burying themselves in debt I did the opposite. Then I just wrote checks for my Corvettes. But we all spend our hard earned money differently. What I did worked for me. Payments or no payments...........one has to love their Corvettes, right?
|
I have retired six times so far. I am pushing 72. I wrote a check for this one.

I own a Propane business and am 64

Bought my first, new '72, when I received my Navy wings. Last month bought a C6 with some IRA money that was just sitting there, I consider it my 70th birthday present to myself. I've been a retired pilot for 5 years.

Engineering Manager in a Specialty Chemical Plant. 44 years old and this is my 4th Corvette.
I've always been a frugal guy....only vices are cars and watches. Also a little bit of a "Horse-Trader". I've been lucky enough to find 6-7 cars over the last 10 years where their was a divorce or some other financial change/difficulty occurring and able to pick the car up for next to nothing....sometimes doubling my money between selling or trading. Also managed to do that with undeveloped property a few times. Plus I keep a tight budget, still base it on what my salary was 12+ years ago even though I've had some pretty good pay raises on my way up the career ladder. Have coworkers living in $400K+ houses while I still live in the same house I bought 15 years ago for less than $200K. |

Wheels and tires looking good. Prostitute Tester.......still working full time....Im 61 years old and have an 05 C6 6speed/conv. My 1st Vette was a 1966 C2 327 4sp/conv that I bought for 2500.00 in 1976 when I was 19 years old.. |
Somewhat ashamed to say that I worked retail for 36 years....and no, not selling shoes...LOL. Served me/us well as it paid decent and had good bens. My wife made decent also so between us we did OK. Of course never having children was a big help i'm sure. Nothing fancy, just about average across the board. Got a decent inheritance when the parents passed so we bought a few toys with the C-6 being one of them. Had a few toys before, but just not as nice a ones as now.
