Replying to: brianapal (Aug 25, 2006 4:33 pm) I believe that in 2005 ( only ) on the C6 it was the same "wart" I have on my 2005 GM Sedan.

 Thank you for all the helful replies. Brian, my wife and I read your response to the antennae and you had us in stitches. You have a great sense of humor. They must have changed things since my son last looked at the car. To all who have commmented on the transmission, I am going to test drive both but, let's face it, I'm a guy who likes to shift so I know I'm going to get the 6-speed. Know anyone who wants a S2000, 2001 with only 18,100 miles? To Jayellenseven I must tell you the local dealership would not provide me a test drive in their single example of the 6-speed Vette. I am a physician and their store is only a 3 minute drive from my office! If a doctor whose office is around the corner can't get a test drive God help a 20 year old. Best bet is to actually write or email a few dealerships with your story and see if anyone responds: I quess. |

Replying to: defrit2000 (Aug 28, 2006 2:30 pm) I have an idea, call a couple local dealerships and let them know what I want and what Im willing to pay and that I will be ready for purchase... Even then, ill need luck since one dealership has already not called me back...

Replying to: starrow68 (Aug 28, 2006 8:51 pm) I did significant research – for months, before requesting a Corvette test drive. Many dealers, particularly those with low allocations, will not allow test drives. Partly, this appears to be because many buyers do not want any Test Drive Miles on the Corvette they purchase. Almost Catch 22. Yet, when I contacted the largest local dealer ( near Atlanta ) I was very pleasantly surprised when (before even meeting me in person ) the Corvette sales person responded via email: “We do allow test drives on coupes & convertibles. I dont understand dealers that dont. I wouldnt buy a $50 pair of shoes without trying them on, much less a $50,000 car” The test drives ( I wrote & posted my impressions here ) convinced me that the C6 would be an acceptable Daily Driver – as well as a fun car to drive! ( A given. ) Good luck! - Ray Also a Leading Edge Baby Boomer (57)

Thank You Ray I took your advice and contacted the biggest corvette seller around. They are one of the nation's largest. I told them I only need to compare seats, experience the transmissions, and hear the sound systems (and search for the antennae). They responded in a positive way. Great idea! The dealership is a 20-25 minute xway drive: Not bad. |
