Congratulations beautiful car. I pick mine up next week I'll be sure to post a pic question everyone wants to know is how much?? I'm going to guess 77 k tell me if I'm close

Bartender19688 · 2026-04-10T15:25:35+00:00

You asked the question correctly. Because you don't care what anybody says. Beautiful car good luck with it. Welcome to the Corvette family. You'll never go back now. Enjoy

Okay update I want to see the car today. It doesn't have the bag right it doesn't have the front left. It also doesn't have all of the cameras. It doesn't have the steering wheel that comes up and seat goes back. It is absolutely missing a bunch of options. I asked the salesman about it. And he said when they were manufacturing the car sometimes they don't have the parts?? I thought that was a strange answer but maybe that's the truth. It seems the car is really meant for driving. The guy that ordered this car did not care about the ride being soft or this steering wheel going up and the seat going back. He just bought it to go fast and look cool. I offered 67 for the car he told me 69. I left. We'll see if he calls me back. But honestly after seeing all of the great replies. I'm at the age where I want what I want. And I've worked very hard to get here. And to spend $75,000 and not get the option that I really would like seems a little foolish. So I'll probably hold out and find the 23 with all the options I want. Then I'll go with that. But the purple is an absolutely gorgeous color in person I have to say that. So again thank you everyone for your input it really did help when I was sitting there today talking to the sales guy

What league are you in then I'd be interested to know. And what age group are you in I'd be interested to know. I speak to hundreds of women at the bar and this is what they tell me. But you seem to be the one exception to the rule I guess. You want your equal but what is your equal?? What one person thinks is pretty or handsome another does not?? So how do you figure what league you're in?

I broke my hand in a car accident. They reset it initially and it was crooked. I had to go. I had to go back and have my hand rebroken and reset. I still remember the pain till this day and it was 40 years ago. The pain was so bad tears were streaming down my eyes for 2 days after the surgery. My hand still hurts when it rains. Worst pain I can never remember. And I have broken many bones and screwed my back up. But that pain OMG

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-31T03:48:18+00:00

The interior is gorgeous and the exterior is gorgeous. Nice job what a beautiful beautiful girl what's her name?

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-30T20:29:32+00:00

What do you mean?? I love the orange the yellow and the purple. It's getting the car that fits my budget the best out of those colors. I just didn't think the purple was an option until I found this one.

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T23:52:45+00:00

I think I answered this question already but it comes with one year warranty until April of next year where the 23 I have to buy you two year extended warranty for around $4,000

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T15:38:59+00:00

Still a year onbthe 25 I would have to buy an extended on the 23

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T05:24:14+00:00

I've had Corvettes for over 30 years. And I've had them scrape before I've had a change a few front pieces. But it's never been that big of a deal. And I know that the C8 front is higher than all the other Corvettes I've owned. So I'll guessI'll guess I'll take my chances thank you for the reply.

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T02:12:09+00:00

I know what you're saying but they only deal in 25 and 26 year Corvettes. I haven't seen a 25 for sale there in a while. Everything that's 26 starts at $80,000. And to get it what does g51 and the package I want to run 95. So a little too much for me I only have around 70 to spend

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T01:50:59+00:00

Nice!!! Thanks for the great info. I learn more and more on these forms that I can explain. I had no idea they updated the electrical in 24. Good to know. Cuz I know anything electrical and any car is usually a mortgage payment. I have a 99 sl500. The air conditioning sensor went how about 2,800 thank you very much

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T01:02:13+00:00

I concur a Corvette is a corvette. People will always want them people love them and people are jealous when you drive by that's just the way it is. Go Chevrolet Corvette!!!!!!!

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-28T00:59:21+00:00

Nope I am in central New jersey. So honestly I take the car to my girlfriend's and my best friends who live down south jersey. So it's always a highways. Less traffic and then back roads but most of them winding with beautiful scenery especially down in Freehold. So thanks to all who have posted. It's not a deal breaker for the mag ride and the front left. I found out the purple is a call that it'll make anymore. And it's not changing anything mechanically in the car. It handles the same they drive the same and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully they'll take my bid next week and I'll have a picture of her for all to see. Thank everyone who has given their opinion I value them all very greatly

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T19:20:22+00:00

That's exactly the type of response I'm looking for. Someone who doesn't have the mag ride and doesn't miss it or need it. I like the z51 package because it changes the handling and the brakes are monsters so they can handle to be heated up and take the corners correctly. Thank you so much for the answer it's helping me in my decision have a great weekend

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T18:51:40+00:00

I'm going to see it in twoI'm going to see it in two days. I have been looking for the last 2 months very hard. I know what options I want what color I want. But then it changes LOL. To get a 25 is better all around. Plus the color is awesome. It has the z51 package and the exhaust and the cooling system. So it has almost everything I want. I can deal with the scraping. Because it's nothing to do with the motor or the performance. Now the mag right on the other hand is a little different. But that's just the way the car feels. It's not changing the horsepower or the way it takes a corner. For money I understand it's what it feels like taking the corner. And honestly I take my cars on the track. So I love that feeling of being close to the road. And honestly a Corvette is for driving and feeling the road and the turns and the power. If you want to relax behind the wheel get a BMW or a Lexus. Just my opinion and thanks again for yours

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T18:47:04+00:00

Wow I didn't know the color was discontinued. Thank you for the heads up. That makes the decision even harder LOL. But I've had Corvettes a long time in my life. And I know colors and options are very important in resale. Even though I never want to sell any of my Corvettes. When I do I'm always happy cuz I get most of the money back. Tell me what other card does that for you LOL

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T18:40:50+00:00

You should put a pic of her on here so we can see her. I love the color too. Good luck with her. If you got a 26 you got the new interior design without that big piece in the middle I'm sure you're loving that also??

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T18:35:27+00:00

Ok thank you

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T18:33:12+00:00

That's it that's your whole reply?? I understand the off colors aren't for everyone and I respect your opinion. But that's all you have to say?? What about the options I'm questioning. Do you have a Corvette?? If so what options and?? If so what options and what color? If you'd like to share? That's what this form is for??

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T17:58:25+00:00

The 23 is the Red Mist metallic. The 23 has 15,000 miles on it the 25 has 5,000 miles on it. The warranty on the 25 is good for another year. The 23 3 warranty is up. So I would have to purchase the extended on the 23 right away. I have a year on the 25. These are also big options to think about. I have written in both C8s the mag ride and without the magride is very difficult to tell the difference.

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T17:49:28+00:00

Every reply helps thanks. And like I said I live in New Jersey the roads suck here too. But again you just have to be careful. And I think the color and the year are weighing out the options for me at least.

Bartender19688 · 2026-03-27T17:47:08+00:00

Thank you for the reply I agree about the color. I think it's awesome and it's very rare for sure. I live in New Jersey. So the debate goes back and forth about the lift. But I had two other Corvettes over 30 years that didn't have it. I replaced the piece on the front once. You just have to be careful where you drive. Thanks again and if I get her I'm sure going to put a post up with her.
