Default Help what to do?

2 weeks ago I sold my 98 vert with 58000 miles, far from mint but a very nice car $19000. Priced right for the condition. I was going to buy a C6 but they are a little more then I can spend right now. I am thinking about a 2002 vert with 5880 miles. Looks and smells new. Everything from under the hood to the undercarage is truly mint. 35K firm. This is from the original owner with full documentation (window sticker and all) Transferable extended warrenty. Car has chrome kit for rear lightsEct... Should I pull the trigger or wait a year or more and buy a used C6? Help Thanks for the advice

i think you should move to another c5 or look for a c6 with some miles on it. 35k is ok but if you can show him the money im sure he will come down.

'02 vert, mint with 5,800 miles for 35K is about right in the SE. The higher the miles, as you well know, the lower the price. If you have the $$ go for it!

If it was me I'd wait the year and get a new one, or better yet get a C6 garage queen if you don't mind used. My neighbor has an '04 vert with 1400 miles on it. He's not selling, but it shows what's right around the corner. We are in Levittown.

It sounds like you really want a c6 (selling a vert in the spring). If that's the case, remember that you're only about 4-5 months away from finding a great deal on someone's summer toy. Good luck!
