Long story involving a trade, but I'm paying about $77,000 for it. Wondering if this is a pretty decent deal or not. The car is absolutely immaculate, clean, perfect paint, etc.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to having some fun with it. After 7 years with 4 Corvettes, I decided to try something new before getting a C8 Z06 (on the list at the dealership). I just can't do my 4th Corvette before 40 I have a dedicated race/track car, so no need for the second car to serve dual duty.

Thanks!

(Also, if this is in the wrong section, sorry!)

edit: also, can I buy a hard top anywhere?
Seems a little pricey for a used BDR, sorry, but as long as you are happy with the transaction, that is all that matters, after all, it's your money, not ours. Without the financial aspect in play, a word of advice, it is not as civilized as your previous automotive experiences, take the learning curve S-L-O-W-L-Y and remember, as soon as you turn the key, it will try to kill you. Keep repeating that in the back of your head for the first thousand miles of learning curve and you'll be fine. Most of all, don't let anyone wipe the smile off your face, and enjoy the ride.

Bill S.
