UPDATE: Looks like carmax called my bluff. Salesperson texted me and asked if I was really going to buy it, and I was honest and said no. Oh well, at least I asked #YOLO

How much of a dick am I if I have this transferred to Wichita just so I can drive it?

Too close by. Think big, man. Miami maybe?

Like, a huge dick. I assume they'll really be expecting you to buy it.

Well it would cost you at least $200 to get it shipped!

No, free transfer

But it's not like that matters all that much. It just means they'll have a Z06 on the lot

It's a free transfer from Tulsa. Any further and I have to pay for it, and eff that.

But all the labor it costs to move it to you is gonna piss someone off.

It's carmax though. It'll go on a truck, take the 160 mile journey up here, and then sit on the lot.

I mean carmax basically brags about the free transfer feature...

I'm probably not going to do it, but it's certainly tempting

Well, I think you should do it, just because I want to hear about the car.

You want me to be a dick by proxy?

Brian Silvestro > Jayhawk Jake 06/28/2014 at 19:32

Yes. You should probably not go back to Carmax for awhile after you do it though.

Do it! They charge a premium for cars in below average condition. They can afford it.

I went once about a month ago, said I was looking for corvettes, they didn't have any but I drove a couple cars and they said to keep an eye out for vettes.

They got a vette, I went in last week and drove it. This is just another vette. I think I'll do it and just lay low for a while...

What's the worst that can happen?

If the company as a whole wasn't so enthusiastic about transfers (Free transfer! Say you want it and we'll do the rest!), I'd feel bad. Fuck it, I'm doing it.

You're right!

Fuck it, YOLO!

I sent the transfer request. I'm so getting banned from carmax

Seriously though. You're gonna be the first customer ever that they're not super nice to.

They'll just be a little mean. 'Would you like a bottle of water? WELL TOO BAD WE'RE OUT!'

Do it and I might have to go drive it to make it worthwhile.

Other than the steering wheel, I actually think the C5 interior is pretty good

lol! I'd buy it if they repainted it for me

LOL. That Carmax is literally a mile from my house.

My local Chrysler dealer has one just like that on the lot...I have to keep reminding myself that no matter how well I dress they aren't going to let a 22 year old drive it... :(

Looks fine to me. But Im no interior decorator...

Those wheels are awful. The OEM Z06 wheels are good looking and very light weight. I'd find a set and swap them asap. The interior has custom red bits, not awful but sorta weird on the yellow car. The engine bay looks intact. That price seems high for what it is. I think you could find a pristine <30k mile example for around $25-26k.

I'm 19 and don't understand half of what my friends are talking about.

Jayhawk Jake > BadMotorScooter 06/29/2014 at 20:52

I'm not getting one for another year and a half. Then I'll probably save money and get a C5 non z06 for $15kish. I doubt my first corvette will be my last...

I'm 24 and Carmax let me drive a C6. If this one was here I'd probably get a test drive no problem

He did what you, or any prudent person in charge of those things would do. Get a commitment first. You did good by telling the truth.

My friend's 02 is still for sale and almost 10k less if you want to transfer yourself to Michigan ;)

Yeah I could see Carmax being the cool Dad but my local backwoods redneck Chrysler dealer probably not so much.. :/
