Well I made my worst financial decision in my 30 years of life
But man am I excited ! After much debate on trying to hold out for the c7 z06 I came to the conclusion it was way way way to much money.This will be my first new car. I ordered it in
Z51 2LT Artic white with black rims carbon flash mirrors/spoiler adrenalin red inside decided against competition seats in favor of the 2lt the GT seats are 10000x better than the c6's
And most of all I really liked the full length carbon flash stripe. I know some don't like it but I do
And I sprung for the nameplate with my name on it as well. Buying new is crazy but hey ya only live once right ? This will be my 5th Vette it was this or a 10 GTR the brand new factor and it's overall sexiness won me over

Your title reflects my position. My current Corvette I bought with 3K on the clock and after 3 years I'll only be looking at dropping 3K-4K. Just got off the phone and I'm looking at getting a Laguna Blue Z51, but your car has got me thinking. Never been a white car guy but damn, that looks great!

I take the $75Gs after tax for Z51 etc etc etc
Plant that 75Gs in townhouse, Carry a mortage at 3.5% and get 1600 income monthly.....That provides enough Dough to pay the cost of the 75Gs sitting on a line of Credit and when that line is paid off in 5 years, I still have the 75Gs sitting in that townhouse and the equity has gone up and the mortage is down 30gs or more too.
thus, handing over 75Gs in 5 years represents? in value.
Putting 75Gs into a Passive Residual Rental Property creates income and maintains my 75Gs in a safe place.
Could be a great way for many to pay for their Vette.
And if you have 75Gs to just throw at it...awesome and enjoy the Car...Cant wait to see the Z in Detroit in January...Thats what I have been waiting on...
