At least I wasnt the one who payed for the depreciation cost of the car.

I would love to buy a 2014 C7 with 5k miles!
For 20k off the MSRP? Who is the winner?

Purchased 12/09/16. Just acquired the magic 500 mile mark the last time out, first drive after the major snow storm a week ago. Averaging two hundred miles a month (over the winter!). The top has not been lowered except on delivery day in the showroom. Waiting on a seventy degree day.

You did all the right tasteful mods. What diffuser fins you installed?
Mine is a 3LT package with magnectic ride and competion seats.
Bought mine 12/16 with 12.5 miles now from 10.5k miles.

Thinking of doing a 255/305 front /rear tire upgrade.

Purchased a '17 GS 2LT with 7M in Admiral Blue on Jan 14th, shipped directly to my house (20 miles from MacMulkin).

Total mileage on the car? 5 miles, from the factory.
Waiting till the snow is gone and the roads are free of sand/salt.

Hours spent in the car? At least 5, setting up the infotainment/radio, adjusting the seat, and mostly sitting in it making car noises!

Can't wait, should be good to go in April! Longest 2 months of my life.

Hopefully you didn't jinx yourself by bragging about how new your used C7 drives.

Hopefully you got one that the original owner didn't beat the living hell out of.

I'm inclined to agree. And as far as "paying for depreciation, that is a little misleading as the original owner bought the car new. To me that is an advantage worth paying for.

Nice. Is the front 'splitter' the carbon fiber thing under the lower stock front end piece at the bottom I guess? Where did you get the splitter and side skirts pieces?

I ordered my 2017 GS 3LT on Aug 8 2016, took delivery in Calgary on Oct 11th 2016. Headed to AZ for the winter on Oct 15 and drove it back in April. Currently at 15006 KM. This is my 6th Vette and second C7. Best car I have ever owned.

I don't even have my C7 yet but I can't wait to start participating in this thread next year and racking up the miles! I'll probably put about 5-6000 miles a year on it for the first few years, but those yearly miles will go way up once I retire in 2022 and start spending my winters in Florida (and taking the C7 there every year of course!) Plus with all the free time my wife and I will have we plan on taking a lot of road trips too. So a lot of guys have a huge head start on me, but since I plan on keeping this C7 for at least 15-20 years, I suspect I will surpass many of you in mileage I want to see it hit 250,000 miles
