I was fortunate enough to get all those '00 options when I purchased my used 2000 FRC. Enjoy them all--the air bag cut off switch is great for taking the little ones out for a ride. HUD wouldn't want to be without it and active handling--Lord knows I need a back up/Guardian angel

The C5 is a good pick . I have a 1999 rage and love every min of it . Also the C5 had a short life span ran from 1998 to 2004 which will help to hold value in the later years.

First, the C5 actually started production in 1997. Second, there are close to 250,000 C5's I don't think you could ever consider them "lower" production and I doubt that they will ever be collectible.
