I am not the one preaching about grammar in the first place. I never said I was perfect when it comes to that. Just don't like the ones that don't practice what they preach. Comprende?

Of the 3 cars you described, I like the 06 best - with all the goodies. But I also agree with others that you can negotiate a very good deal right now on an 08. You may wish to shop around a little more before making a decision.
For that type money I would be shopping 08s.

A. why not fill in some data on your profile?
B. see the 2 above posts that say buy the newest model you can afford.
C. depending on what you want, do check with forum dealers. and don't forget to write it out in an email AND FOLLOW up with a phone call to their toll free numbers.
D. cars.com is NOT the only place to look, nor necessarily the best place. you can also try autotrader.com but contact forum dealers before you waste further time on the internet.
E. and don't always listen to the "you can get an '08..." if you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and I'd rather not read a few months from now about how you need to sell your car----fast.

If not, you're not a real Corvette owner, regardless of what car you own. Real Corvette owners welcome new, potential owners.

Congrats on the new Vette! Yes the 07 would have a better warranty, but you can add an extended warranty here from a Forum Vendor. There will always be a better deal out there...but you will drive yourself crazy trying to find the BEST deal. ENJOY your new ride!
