I bought my car new 3 years ago and have recently started modding it(headers/intake/gears)makes it seem like a new car again. I plan on keeping it a few more years. If and when I decide to get another sports car, the vette will go.

I just bought a 98 with 16,700 miles on it. My plan is to keep it 4-5 years. I estimate it will have 40,000 miles on it by then and then sell it for say $12,000 or so for a down payment towards a c6.

Unless of course, I can get as good a deal on a 10-year-old C6 as I did on a 10-year-old C5!!!

No intentions of selling. It's got more sentimental than monetary value anyway.
