I'm impressed, thankful and regretful
I'm impressed after reading a lot of reviews on the C6. At first my
thought was either I'm reading a bunch of over enthusiastic owners (over crazed) or it's one heck of a car. I'm beginning to believe it's NOT over- enthusiastic owners after my wife's co worker and his wife owned a C5. They were about our ages and they liked their red corvette a lot till it was in an accident. I don't know the details of the accident but my wife told me he sold it because it wasn't the same after the accident (whatever that means). I don't know what he replaced it with. I'm also thankful for this newsgroup. I appreciate the fast informative replies. I can see some really knowledgeable Corvette people who in turn can see how little I know about Corvettes. My only regret is I didn't mean to start any flames among contributors and I apologize for that. My questions are meant only to educate me. Thanks all. ps- I haven't googled yet but does anyone know if I can download a C6 owner's manual? Maybe some of it will answer my past and future questions. |

I managed to find it on line but not sure I could save it as a whole but at least I can read it. I forgot to say earlier that I am impressed that my wife gives me permission to buy a new Corvette without question. I think the reasons are that we can now afford it and her co-worker had liked theirs till their accident. This may impress me even more than the Corvette owners positive reviews <grin>. I am trying to do some research now because I think that it might be best to buy it either in December or January. I need to test drive one too. Thanks for your help. |

Did my first body repair in 1954 and still doing restoration today and sadly you don't always get what you pay for from many shops. Anyway, try this site for free download. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...ManualActually it is the 2008 manual.Good luck |

The C6 is a very much improved Corvette over previous generations and im pretty satisfied with my 2006 . However , there are some improvements that are needed in order to make it a superb car in my estimation , and others estimation. But for the money i paid for my basic package 2006 C6 which was $39,990 new, it is a very good value that packs lots of fun and pride of ownership. Regards. |

I figure that after election the price might head up again imo.Used, when people fall on hard times the toy's are usually the first things to go so a used might be a good deal. Having said that, I honestly found used prices a bit out of whack when considering what you can buy new for. Also buying a new in stock vette now will avoid the $1,500 increase. I just bought one from http://www.macmulkinchevrolet.com/ No bs, no doc fees, no prep fees, just a very trouble free deal. Oh, they give you a temp plate that is good for 20 days as well. I highly recommend them. They matched or were cheape than other dealers.All the usual disclaimers |
