Default Traded '84 for '08

Hi, traded bone stock '84 coupe for 2008 Jetstream Blue coupe at end of 2014. Also got the three volume set of factory service manuals from Helms. Car has 8300 miles on it. Had 6500 when I bought it-like a new car !!

Talk about an upgrade! There is a few on there that traded in their 84's for C6's. Talk about a different car! You couldn't have gotten to much for trade on it?

I'm with you GoodOldC4, traded my 84 Red Coupe I had for 18 years for this beauty, 2013 M6 Torch Red GS in September of last year.
WHAT a DIFFERENCE.

What a beautiful new car. Many, many differences as you are finding out between the "old" and the "new". May you have many miles of pleasure in the '08.
