New to me 2006, sad to see the C4 go but I'm ready for a little more refinement in a Corvette. Well equipped with 49,000 miles, good time of the year to buy........

Nice car. I remember your name from the C4 forum. I sold my 95 vert as well and bought a C6 vert. Good luck and you will love the car

You made wise move, I also had C4 for 22 years, and made the big step into C6, and never looked back.
Enjoy your new ride!

Nice C6, real nice. There is a HUGE difference in a nice C4 and a nice C6. I know as I had 2 nice C4's. You will love that car. The C6 is so much more refined in every way. Enjoy and good luck!
