Actually, it should read "Always Red, Used, 100% Bone Stock Right Down to the Air in the Tires Dave".

Excellent purchase, hope you can put more miles on it than you did on your 2008.
Get in it and drive it.

It's a done deal, don't fret it now.
No hassle with selling on your own, and the sales tax helps.
Enjoy!

I look at it this way with the trade value being so high that I bought the car for $61,500.How do you guys think I did .I know its a used 2014 but $16,000 off the original MSRP sounds like a good deal to me.
You did great! Got my car used also with 2,900 miles, the factory stiker was in the upper 78K range with a lot of options. Got it for 66K...

Thanks Elaine really like your background on your avatar WISH I COULD HAVE A PICTURE OF MY NEW ONE WITH THE TOP UP PICTURE ONE
on the new inventory page. Thanks for the compliment even though you do not like the black wheels but I needed a change. I have been cleaning, polishing and waxing chrome rims for the last 21 years.

Hard, but not impossible! In fact, if you're quick enough (and there isn't a lot of wind) you can wash your car outside in below freezing weather and won't have a problem with ice. I've done it a few times over the years

You did well, both at the price and your trade... most importantly you'll love your new C7. I also had a 2014 TR Z51 convertible (w/ M7) loaded but still close enough to your build. It stickered at 73k and I got it at employee pricing for 63k. Trade in was about the same a few weeks ago for my new Z. Enjoy it soon and congrats!

Thanks looks like my twin but no black mirrors and spoiler by the way your Z06 is BADASS looking. Also how many miles on your 2014 when you traded it for the Z06?

3600 and change... I just broke even since I got it at GMU pricing and the tax advantage saved me more bucks. Tomorrow is your big day and it's already broken in for you...you're going to love driving it!

Was thinking I would get some negative opinions also and was not afraid to read them but everyone seems positive on this deal so the deal seems good. Thought I was going to have to wait a lot longer until the price of a C7 Z51 vert loaded the way I wanted was in my reach financially .I was surprised how fast the prices dropped from last years prices!

Congrats,I don't keep up with prices but the consensus is you did good. We became members of the forum about the same time and I've always followed your posts, but I thought you lived in Texas.
