[QUOTE="FightingIrish, post: 131083, member: 4132"] Hi Everyone. Brand new to the forum and looking for some help on an 05C6 that I test drove last night. Let me start by saying I have wanted a Corvette FOREVER, and the stars have finally aligned and I'm in a position to do it. In Grade 7, I got a History of Corvettes book as a gift and 32yrs later, I still have it. Funny looking at it now with the C4 as the latest model. Anyway, to the matter at hand. Last night's test drive was an 05 base coupe with 167000kms. Looks fantastic inside and out. Slight tinny sounding rattle in the rear end for a few seconds at idle (sounds like a loose heat-shield or something), brakes look decent, so do tires. Corsa exhaust, Nav, HUD. Current owner is 2nd, says he's put 8000kms on in 2rs, so the first guy must have driven it A LOT. No service history, and wants $23000 cert. Looking to those more knowledgeable than I to weigh in on price. This car is everything I want, at a price i can afford, but I'm not looking to get hosed. Took everything in me not to hand him the cash on the spot! [/QUOTE]
