Default C4 or C5?

So, a friend has a decision to make:

He can buy a '96 (under 25k)...or he can get a brand new 2002 Coupe (27k). What should he do? :confused: I'm asking in both forums to get both sides of the argument.

I :seeya!

Where can you get a brand new 2002 Corvette for 27K?

Nope...it's Sam's club, but you have to buy them in bulk. If it were WalMart I would have just bought mine.

Too bad I love my fire-breathing :reddevil, uncivilized monster too much to go to the civility and upper-class character of a C4 or C5 (I'm not knocking them, I'm just partial to my Celeste).

No matter what you think about the C4 vs C5, which i prefer the C4 :yesnod: . You would be hard pressed to buy a 6 year old vette for basically same price as a New vette. :rolleyes:

I love the C4 alot. I think it is a better looking car and for my money more of a sports car. However, if he can get a new coupe for 27k he would be crazy not to buy the C5

C4 rules, it rides like a sportscar, not a Cadillac As has been stated tho if you can get a C5 for $27k get it. :cool:
