New to me GS in Oklahoma
Finally talked wife into letting by a vette after building her dream home. At first she gave me a budget of 25K, I looked for two weeks every day from Autotrader, craigslist (every major city) to Ebay. A lot of vettes in that price range but usually with lots of miles on them. So, I presented to her what I found and expalined I would be better off to get a solid, clean used one with low mileage so that when I go to sale it in a few years (to purchase a solid, clean low mileage C7), it would have decent resale value. Great, she bumped the budget to 30K. Back to looking.
Well, I found a lot of great vettes in that price range with decent mileage but just could not find "The One". So, yesterday wife tells me that she wants to order custom window treatments and draperies for the new home and the cost is $9,500
"So, if you find "The One" go ahead and get it".
Yee Haw! back to Autotrader and input all the parameters to find a solid, clean, low mileage GS. Low and behold found one in Houston area that sung to me the moment I laid eyes on it. It's a 2010 with 22K on the clock, Cyber Gray with Black wheels and fully loaded minus Navi. Original owner is going to pick me up at the airport tomorrow morning at 10:35 am and I hope to be driving home in my new GS by noon. Little does my wife know I am exceeding the budget by about 10K. Wow! I have not been this excited since, wellllllllll, it's been a looooong time.
