I i can tell you one big thing thing that made me hesitant was the insurance. for a young single guy it can be astronomical. since ive been driving for since i was 16 with no accidents or tickets mine was really low. plus ive had motorcycles on there in the past too. the price wasn't a big deal since i had just gotten back from afghanistan and had money saved up. -------------------- "The name's ADASS,...B.

Im 17 but not a vette owner yet, I will be in the next few months. Ive been workin for a year and doing other side work to get a big enough down payment on one. Most people my age dont even consider a vette because they get hand-me-down cars and mod those instead of really saving up money. Im just waiting on a little bit more funding so i dont have to take out so much on a loan. The only downside to a 17 year old vette owner is $325 monthly insurance rate.

Alot of cars out there to choose from so wait for one without issues. You may want to locate a club near you and talk with current owners about their experiences. -------------------- Dan http://usera.imagecave.com/Smokensparks/00vetteside-copy.jpg Posts: 1367 | From: Nevada | Registered: Aug 2004  |  IP: Logged |  ieatyllwcryns Just Started the Engine Member # 7052 posted                       I'm 27 and just bought my first and definately not last Vette.
