Default Sold my Jeep, back in the Vette market

So after a year driving a jeep nice and slow (yawn), I sold it and am back in the market for a 2008 or newer LOW mile Vette (Less than 30,000 miles). More to come when/if I find one. Any interest in reviving the Valley GTG?

C6 and C7 are both up for consideration?

Wow, three vettes with under 20,000 miles that do not respond to my interest. One did, and it was sold. The second one did, and then when I asked to meet, crickets. The third has not responded to my voice message or email. Things are not looking good and I refuse to buy from a dealer after my last experience ($995 for nitrogen in the tires and anti-theft door stickers!!!).

Thanks Mark. Tried buying three this weekend, two sold (one an hour before I was leaving to go see it), and the third gets no response. Might have to look at a Golf R. It might not be in the cards for me.

Just a thought, having bought my second choice a few times, versus waiting for the1st: NOT recommended and unsatisfying!

VW quality is not the best, according to my German car buddy/mechanic.

Maybe consider a real nice C5 6spd.

No interest in a C5, but that is just me. The search goes on, but the Golf R is looking more and more viable unless a Vette comes up first that meets my requirements. In case anybody is concederig selling, I am looking for a 2008 or newer C6 with under 25,000 miles, 6sp manual (preferred) or auto, Z51 preferred, 3lt package. Not much to ask for, Ha HA.

No deals there. Just missed another that is sold. Getting frustrated.
Found a 2007 Vette with low miles to look at, but the battery is DEAD.
Wanted a 2008, but this has really low miles and the price is right.

Revive it, revive it.
What are you waiting for?
Any interest in buying one of those garage queen Z06's with super low miles. My neighbor has one, bet it doesn't have 5000 miles on it.
BUT IT IS ORANGE
Maybe you can use Uber to go with us till you get a Vette.
