I'd only spend $16980 on a C3....the rest I'd spend on beer to celebrate :cheers:
Make that $16800 & a proper celebration :D
I'd go for a good C3 myself. I like C5's but would NEVER EVER sell my C3 to buy one. Maybe I'm lucky with mine, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a daily driver if I didn't work in a dodgy area with very unsecure parking (oh yeah, gas prices might also come into it). If you get a good one (well cared for & not owned by some guy called Bubba, you won't regret it). At the end of the day it's your decision - hope you make the right one :)
:cheers:
