so i finally got my camaro fixed and now it's a stock motor with just bolt ons.. and i moved up to NC and have a good job and i really want a c5z, ls3 vette, or the c6z. but my coworker is selling his 05 vette with 22k on it for 29k. should i hold out or is this a good deal?
It's a decent deal if it's a Z06. If it's just a standard Corvette that's pretty high.Quote:

This should give you an idea the criteria can be modified...

Just my $0.02,,,,but I'd wait and go C6Z. Especially if you like to have your cheeks touch your earlobes during acceleration. LOL...well maybe that's exaggerating a little.
In 05 there were no Z06's. 06 and up Z06's are still bringing $40's and $50's. I do agree though, for $29k you can get a newer base model C6 with around the same mileage. Verts and LS3 Vettes are going to bring more cash too, and keep in mind a majority of Vette drivers still have the presumption that they're cars are worth a fortune still.Quote:

For a Z06? Higher mileage I'm assuming. I have yet to see one around the area for that cheap.Quote:

I'd have no problem settling for a C5 Z06 :dunno: It's still a respectable performer regardless of age. I still see them for low $20's with about 40K miles on them. Very affordable for that kind of toy. I myself can't see spending another $10K plus to move up a model that has nearly the same amount of mileage. That's just me.Quote:

i work for a chevy dealer and ive driven all sorts of c6 vettes but only a few base line c5 vettes and i would say go with the c6 z06. me talking about that car doesnt serve it justice, you have to go out drop the clutch at 4 grand and see for self.
Remind me not to go Vette shopping at your dealer...Quote:
