S1K C5 is right, prices are a joke here. I got a good deal on my '00 and was lucky. I haven't seen anything close to what I got for the same price, everything is higher. I got mine from an independent dealer than specializes in muscle cars. He knew the market for C5's had dipped a little with the anticipation of the C6 coming out last year so he cut me a deal. The larger dealers won't budge. Your best bet here is private party or try out of state. If I was to go after a ZO6 I'd definately look out of state.

I've had a little more time to think about this. I bought my Mag red 02 Vert loaded nice with 20k miles on it 2 weeks ago.
It may be time for me to plan a road trip to Cali before I spend too much money on mods.
This is a nice low mile Texas unit.

They must be paying premium for the cars like they are for the houses. I'm told my little chicken shack house would bring upwards of $750k in some parts of Ca.
Now if I can just figure a way to get the house out there!
