I ended up buying it. They wouldnt go any lower than 29995, but I got him to throw in new rubber, an extra key fob, and delivery to my front door (I live 2 hrs+ from the dealer)

Car was cleaner than it looked in the pictures. Seriously looked like a new car. Drove like a dream and it turned out to have z51 and NPP exhaust.

Will be delivered either Monday night or Wednesday night (depending on when the tires arrive) Was sooo hard to leave it there

I'm jelly, would hate to see the insurance rates on those

insurance rates aren't that much more than my mazda6. I did a quote before I bought it and I think its like 20-30 more a month. I'm and old man of 28 and am a homeowner with a clean driving record.

I haven't really posted in this forum so I'm not sure what to expect but I was curious if anyone had experience/knowlege on c6 vettes. I been considering getting one for a bit know and have started seriously pricing/looking at them. In my budget are mainly the LS2 vettes (05-07) and a couple LS3 ones (mainly 08s). Anything newer is too much moneys. I haven't seen a LS3 vette in person yet, the one I want to see is at a dealership like 100 miles from me and work has been CRAZY so I haven't been able to get out there to see it.

I am looking for one with a targa top, no convertibles or z06 for me.
Are there any common problems that I should look for?
Is there a huge difference LS2 vs LS3?
would a 08 vette with a little higher mileage (40-50k) be a better buy than a LS2 vette with low mileage (~20k)?
Any other tips or things I should know/look out for?

If u have a family i wouldn't get a vette 2seats i cant ever drive my c5 hardly. Wish i had a maro now
