Need Advice which C5 to get?
I need your expertise on 2 used C5:
Milinium Yellow mileage has 21,729 - 6spd manual its fully loaded with heads up display, bose system, and polish wheels. This is at a chevy dealer. Asking price = $38,400.00 after negotiation went down to $35,896.00
Metalic Silver mileage has 12,358 - 6spd manual it a plain jane. This is being sold at a Carmax dealer.
Asking price = $35,998.00 no haggle in price as is.
Which one would you choose?

If they are both the same year, then I'd take the yellow one because it's loaded.

What year are the cars
What years are the cars First? Then if the same year my vote is the MY I would check Kelly blue book on the price and run a Carfax on them. Good luck you will love driving the car.

Did somebody replace the Bose with an after-market system that might be better than Bose? If so, don't let that stop you from getting that one...

The mileage difference is not significant.
Both should be eligible for a GMPP extended warranty. The MY is a better deal has more options and is form a Chevy dealer vs used car lot.
Personally I would go with the MY unless you can't stand the color...

1st Hello and welcome.
Have you driven them both?
Look around some more and see what else is available for same $$.
Just because ones at a Chevy dealer does not mean its gona be better.
Not all of us have learned to trust dealers-they must earn that trust.
The silver sounds like a most base car. It should be worth less$$.
Mileage is a fact as to how the car was used. If there both under 20K miles. They should have OEM Goodyear runflats. How do they compare?
From what you have already learned-make a list of what you really want. Then compare that list to each car your looking at. When you find just what your lookind for-be a qualified buyer be ready to pull the trigger.BUT also be ready to walk away if its not right.
Good luck.
