Contratz on the vette. You didn't get screwed on the price. You got screwed because your a K.C. fan! j/k brutha! Don't worry too much about what you paid for the car.....worry about how much you are going to sink back into the car for mods.

Welcome aboard the C5 Express and always remember to wave to fellow vette drivers on the road.

The color is good but everyone knows that Gray is the way!

Don't worry about what you paid! If you feel you got a deal, that's all that matters

Congrats! If you think red is a cop magnet...try Mellenium Yellow! Welcome to the C5 Forum. Great people here that are a great help on any question you might have about your new C5. Regards, Dan

Welcome Fellow KANSAN

It does not matter what you paid if you are happy with the transaction

But you should have got RED

The second best move you made was to come to the Forum. I can not tell you how much I have learned from these bunch of bozos and my wallet will never forgive them

Let the MODZ begin !

Very nice car. I paid $27,500 for my '00 FRC last August. Mine came with a warranty and just a tad over 13k on the clock. I am at 19,800 miles today. I am still nothing but pleased with my ride. Wheels and tires will be my next mod.
