Well guys, the has come for me to move on.....

Friday I traded the 94 for a 2001 Magnetic Red Coupe. I still love the C4s and unlike some C5 owners I'll still wave. But this move was logical for me and the wife. Thank you to all here who have helped me in the past. I won't be a stranger to the C4 area, I'll just be spending more time in the C5 arena.

I still have a few parts left to sell from my C4.

Good luck with the new ride.

Did they give you a decent trade-in for the 94 or did they tell you it was nearly worthless?

Frankly, I was reasonably happy with the trade deal. They allowed me $8000 on the trade. A couple places that I talked with were offering $3000- 4000. GIVE ME A BREAK! $8000 is probably the best I would have gotten for it here, so it worked out OK.

Congrats on the new toy! I hope you have many miles of smiles with the new vette!


All that matters is that you got what made you happy. Life is short and there are no "do over's!"
