Who has a C6 Vette?
 
Feedback?

Anyone with higher mileage on one?

Specifically the 6 Speeds.

Would like to look around for one towards the end of the summer/fall (assuming I don't have any large boating bills).

Sounds like the 08's are the ones to have with the LS3 in them, but I'd just like to explore getting any year since I'm just going to use as a daily driver.

Anyone feedback is appreciated.....

I'm surfing ebay and corvette forums and just figured I'd ask here....

Great Car! I have a machine silver 436hp coupe with custom wheels. Its an automatic but is equipped with paddle shifters.
It also has a remote control that regulates the exhaust sound.
I've owned the car since 2010, it has 9,900 mi. and is currently for sale, as well as my '92 35' Fountain. I'm moving both to upgrade to a larger and faster boat!
Trades considered

Had a c5 that was used as a 10 month a yr daily driver & loved it.
Test drove a c6 but in the end it seemed like a bad idea, so back to p/u`s :-(

I am guessing he meant "bad idea" from the standpoint that he would have gotten into trouble in it....

They are great cars, No matter which model you decide to buy, you wll not be disapointed. I have had a number of Corvettes over the years (43 to date, my wife says I have issues) and every model has it's pros and cons. That being said, the current C6 is certainly the best overall package to date...

Bad idea, as in im a grimy bastard and felt guilty enough trashing a $35 k car....never mind a $50 k car.
Needed something a bit more practical since my secondary vehicle at the time (06/07) was a 82 f250.
Again someday

I hear that... I drive a junker 2000 Camry more miles a year than my truck or vette combined.

I just feel guilty rackin up miles, guess im saving it for the next owner...lol

I have a 06 Corvette C6 Z51 with only 11,000km on it. Always garage(heated) kept under cover. Use car very little and would sell for the right amount of money, otherwise keep it and use it when I need it. Car has headers, exhaust, cold air intake, lowered. Car sounds great and is fast.
