Hi.
After lots of deliberation I'm after a c6 manual with around 30k miles or less, and wondered if they come up for sale often and where to look. I've been looking on PH and AT and e-bay but there's not a lot. Seen a lovely black one for sale (looks lovely in the pics anyway!) in Essex, but the mileage (47k) might be a bit much. Unless anyone can tell me anything about that one and persuade me the mileage isn't an issue?
Anyone own something like that and thinking of selling soon?
Thanks in advance, and any advice gratefully accepted!

Thanks Silver c6, very helpful.
Budget not much of an issue so I'd prefer a 2008 on but if a great 2006 on car came up I'd be still interested.
With regards to uk/us, I must admit I don't know the differences yet so more research required....is the US one more difficult/expensive to insure?
I'll check out corvette forums tomorrow when I've got some free time.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Some very useful info...
I think it's got to be at least a 2006 on model for me, preferably yellow or black but wouldn't rule out other colours. I might be waiting some time for the right car but I'm hoping to get a keeper.

Hello wraggy,
I have a 2008 C6 manual in crystal claret tricoat ( red ) with 15000 miles from new. It has full service history. It was imported new through Canada from the gent I bought it from - He used it for holidays in Austria & Italy - so I am the 2nd. owner. It has Z51, and has LT4 interior ( full leather ) I've owned the car for about 18 months, and have changed brake fluid, clutch fluid -regular change- engine oil & filter, and replaced the back - up lamp switch. The car has competition grey wheels - £700 - extra & NPP exhaust. It's virtually immaculate cond. I'm hoping to upgrade to a C7.
Hi Nick. I tried to email you through piston heads but no joy. Sounds interesting. Can you email me any further details/photos price and where you are please?
I'm just on holiday at the moment-back home tomorrow night so can call you Thursday onwards.
