Default Finally got a c6!!! Black on black

Been researching on this forum for quite a while. Picked up a c6 on Wednesday.
2007
60k miles
Black everything
Pretty loaded
Nav
heated seats
I think the z51 brakes?
Glass top
Painted top
New run flats
Heads up display
I love it so far

The paint need some TLC when I get some time

That's an awesome car! Mind filling us in on what you paid?

I have 65k on my 2008 z51 coupe and its been a wonderful experience.

Trouble free and fun to drive


Congratulations and best of luck

Good luck with your new ride. I hope you realize black is like having another job . But on the upside nothing looks better than a well kept Black car. Enjoy

27 grand is great price...I've never believed in getting the least expensive pre owned car...

Very fair price and thanks for sharing.

I've had my 2008 since new and its been great. You did very well..

The corvette is an iconic American sports car and driving with the roof off is a huge plus.

Looks great. Thanks for posting the photos.

Nice car! Looks like its optioned the same way my 06 is, aside from mine being an auto. You will enjoy it very much

Congrats! From the photo I think you have F55 magnetic selective ride... can't say for sure because the parking brake is in the way. Your 07 is almost exactly like my 07. I have had mine for 3yrs and love it. Good luck with the new ride!

Haven't had a standard since I was about 17? 32 now and a little rusty. It has been a goal of mine to get one at some point. I'm super excited and loving it so far

Congrats on your C6. I just got the same car in July...2007 black on black w/manual tran. It had also been a while since I drove a manual but it didn't take long to get used to it again. Congrats again!! Enjoy the new ride.

Congrats from a fellow black owner. You will love it no doubt... Someone said it's like having another job and they're right. Pretty much after you'r done clay barring it 1/2 a dozen times to get it where you want it...then almost every time you find yourself using quick detailer on it before you take her out.
Black looks soooo sweeet when detailed
