I'm having a big problem
I have two great opportunities
1. C5 Yellow Corvette - Fully Loaded Except HUD - 34K Miles
2. C5 Red Corvette - Not Fully Loaded - 22K Miles
I asked my girl and she said yellow but she also likes red, She doesn't even care anymore I think she picked yellow because that's the color I always talk about. I thought to myself I'm in college this car will get noticed QUICK people would probably think I'm in need of attention. But with some nice chrome rims dropped to an inch would look baddddasss.
The red I'm considering because it's the standard for sports cars. It's really clean and with some chrome rims, new rotors, and dropped to an inch would look awesome too! oh don't forget the tints! Problem is everyone has this color but it looks great! but what makes this red a winner is because of low mileage and it's really clean and i always consider lower mileage.
I can't make my decision I am going to be losing my hair soon if I don't figure it out ASAP!
HELP CORVETTEFORUM!

What model years are your two choices? All things being equal - I generally lean towards the car with the lower mileage. JMHO

Yellow is the "new" red. Draws attention like no other.

I guess I'd be influenced by the cost to purchase to mileage comparisons. In most cases ... less is more! Both are great colors though. Enjoy your choice.

Just my opinion, but something tells me you should go with the Torch Red.

Prices and years would be helpful
However IF all things are near equal, I'd go with the lowers miles. The difference of 12k miles means one more year of driving to me.
Good luck

Both nice colors.
I'd go with the one with a HUD ( if the red one has it).
Otherwise the yellow!
