Default I DID IT! I'm offically a corvette owner (well almost)







Well, I did it! For those of you who saw it, I was the one who made the post asking for advice on GS vs Base c6 costs. So first off thank all of you so much for responding. You guys really helped me decide. And I have decided to go with the grand sport. I can not tell you how excited I am. I've been dreaming about this my entire life. I say "almost" in the title because the car still has to be shipped from Texas to Fl, but it's mine baby!


It's a 2013 1lt a6 black on black on black Grand Sport with only 4000 miles. Only one owner with a perfectly clean car fax. It's also a certified pre owned. Got it for 42,500 which is a steal! I plan on doing a few minor mods when I get it, one being 5 % limo tint to really give it that Batmobile look. But for the most part, the car is exactly how I want it.


I'm so excited to become apart of the corvette family! And I will definitely be asking you guys a lot of questions in the years to come I'm sure. Anyway, I cant wipe this smile off my face. This is truly a life long dream come true. I will have updated pics once I actually get it, but for now here are the dealership pics. Cheers everybody

Absolutely beautiful! Great taste! That is exactly EXACTLY how mine would look if I had a GS. Good work on this purchase.

Thanks man! I know some people don't like the all black look, But this has been my dream corvette since I was a kid. My two favorite cars growing up were Kit from knight rider, and the Batmobile from Batman 1989. And since then I've had an obsession with blacked out cars.
