Book values vary a lot depending on zip code, I believe.

x2

and even at that i question who would pay it when a similar mileage early c6 vert is maybe 5k or less extra

so few c5s actually sell these days. forum has a ton of ads, can't remember when the last sale was

ebay has a lot of ads, most with reserves which makes them worthless

one local dealer sold a 2003 coupe with 48k on it, auto, black on black for 15k, that's the last sale i know of in my area and it was 3 weeks ago

Maybe I am the Lone Ranger here but I would buy a C5 over a C6 because they look better and I like the raw race ride better than the luxury car ride.

I would say if the car could be bought for around $22.5K, it would be a decent deal, especially for a vert.

This is a simple question and can be answered simply. Do you own a C5?

My cursory research indicates he is sitting on the money waiting to pounce on a good deal.

My apologies in advance racebum if I quoted some of your posts with pesky questions while doing my research.

For a premium condition C5 with relatively low mileage similar to this one, IMO the 22-24K price range is appropriate. Pristine C5s are harder to find than C6s, thus part of the reason they are holding their value well.

The value of any car is what you're willing to pay if you want it badly enough.
