Re: (AGENT 86)
To the guy who mentioned financing just go to http://www.capitaloneautofinance.com (formerly peoplefirst). I have used them 4 times now. I got a 3.9 apr and they don't care what you buy they just gaev me a blank check authorized for up to 50 grand. I was glad to only write it out for 17 though LOL.
Don't let loser traditional banks get in your way. Get to http://www.capitaloneautofinance.com and take advantage of these near giveaways of C5's.
I really think once dealers are out of new ones that they are giving away the C5 market will at least stabilize for a year or two. If (and this won't be the case) but if i feel like dumping my C5 ext year i am next to positive getting the 22K i paid for it back won't be much of an issue. At MOST i'd lose a grand or so. Can't beat driving one for next to nothing.

Re: (robertpel9)
I'm sorry... but have any of you even driven a C5? You might as well get a Cadillac, at least they come with the nice seats. Way too comfortable and roomy, and they've got about as much soul as the Blues Brothers do.
Just my opinion, but you won't see me owning one.

Re: I'm getting a C5 too..... (96 Collector Edition)
you guys are funny. Inter generaltional wars are stupid. A corvette is a corvette. The C5 is a completely different car than the C4. It's better but it should be as the design perios was leterall over a decade later. Sure each car has it's plusses and minuses. Why bash each other. I love C4'si am just selling mine because i have nor the time, speace or desire to keep both so i am goign to keep the one that puts a bigger smile on my face. I will admit i would like to transplant the C4 seats from my 91 into my 99 the side bolsters suck on a C5. Other than that there is no need to bash we all should be pruod and happy to have a corvette no matter the year. Whoever said just go buy a Cadillac and have you eevn driven a C5 i think needs to drive one a little longer themselves. That comment is just downright rediculous.

From reading most of your posts, you will do just fine with one, it seems to suit you... however, it doesn't do anything for me. Different strokes for different folks. Good luck with it...

Re: (Mr Mojo)
Thanks Mojo, I needed that. Never met you, but knew I always liked you! I plan on keeping my C4 until it's not worth 15 cents, then I'll push it into one of the strip mines here in Kentucky. Don't plan on going the C5 OR C6 route. There's more to Corvette ownership than performance. If I were to do anything, I'd go back to the C2. Unless the guys in MI can design something that steals my heart at first glance, rather than making me have to court it for two years while it "grows on me," I'll keep what I got - a good looking and good performing C4.
Is everyone out to **** me off? Please no more "I bought a C5 and getting rid of the better C4" posts. Go post them in C5.

I don't know what "it seems to suit you" means but it's probably safe to say its not something flattering. But yeah different strokes for different folks. I guess the difference is that i like both.
