Default Shopping for a C5

I'm shopping for a 2002-2004 Artic White/Red interior Vert. What kind of price can I expect to pay? and anybody selling one of these in the North East. MD, DC VA DE NJ area? Auto or Six Speed not an issue. Low mileage a plus. Supercharger even bigger plus

Well, first of all - Artic White was the color in '04, in '02 and '03 it was Speedway White which is a little different.

If you go on this website Click Here! you can check out the production numbers for the cars you describe.

I think you'll find that the white cars were among the lowest if not lowest numbers of all. Red interiors weren't all that common either. My point is good luck with your search. It's a classic color combo, but just not that popular!

Check on Edmunds.com or kbb.com for potential prices for these cars. You could also check on the cars for sale section here on the forum.

I just purchased an '04 in silver- I looked all over the country - I originally was looking for an '03 (more in my price range) but I ended up with an '04 for about the same price. It all depends on features- not sure if you want Conv or not but that adds about 3-5k depending on the color. In addition the suspension makes a difference in resell. I paid 34 for mine- the range for an 02-04 seems to be from 29 up to 40 (44 with a conv top and all the options)
And whomever posted about white being rare is right- I did not see many - if any for sale that were optioned the way I wanted them.
