Default New from South Jersey

What’s up everyone. Just joined as I’m starting to look for an 08+ C6 to buy. I retire from law enforcement in just under 5 years and was going to wait for retirement to buy one, but I just can’t wait any longer!!! I used to have a SOM ‘01 Camaro SS, but ever since I sat in a C5 at a photo shoot in Philly I knew I needed a vette. My daily is a high country Silverado 6.2L. I hope to gain some knowledge for my purchase

Welcome to the group, and thank you for your service. I am retiring next year, my wife and I bought a convertible C6 in January 2020. I am looking forward to have more time to spend behind the wheel in it.

Thank you!! I found an 08 2LT with 27k on it for $27k, debating going to look at. I really want orange or gray, and this is red.

Welcome to the forum! I'm from North NJ. I was a long time fan of the c5 Corvette and finally got a 2004 c5 Z06 CE this year. We also have a suburban so definitely a General family! This forum has been great for learning so many different things. C6s are awesome and I would personally look at the grand sport if possible. Wider track with the targa option. I think Corvettes look amazing in any color but it is such a personal choice. Best of luck in finding your dream Vette.

Hello there, everyone. I've recently joined as I begin my search for an 08+ C6 to purchase. I'm retiring from police enforcement in just over 5 years and had planned to buy one then, but I just can't wait any longer!!! I used to own a SOM ‘01 Camaro SS, but I decided I needed a vette after sitting in a C5 at a photo shoot in Philly. My daily driver is a 6.2L Silverado from the high country. I hope to gain some knowledge for my purchase Law Coursework Writers.
