Yes, as soon as they are paid off they look dated and require replacement or upgrades

Only if the pics are in one of the bazillion "Official" threads started here lately, otherwise they look the same.

Huh, mine didn't look any different the day after it was paid for than the day before. I guess I didn't get that option.

Edit: Since I financed mine at 0% interest it was much smarter financially than many people who paid cash.

The cars don't look any different but the title sure does. It is sure nice seeing your name as the owner and not some bank. I like driving my car instead of the banks car.

Nah, just some old-fashioned chest-thumping going on in those threads. Happens here from time to time -- best to ignore them unless you are into that kind of contest.

None of my business as to whether someone else's Vette is paid for or financed, nor does it matter in any possible way to me. I'm just happy to talk Vettes with fellow enthusiasts. Live and let live...

I took the $2000 rebate instead of the 0%, My Grand Cherokee was 0% with no option of rebate, so that's what I did. Even if I financed my C6 I would still consider it mine. The wife leases her car and she still thinks it's hers. Just wondering if anybody here leases their Corvettes?
