Don't care what my C5 is worth.....it's "worth it" to me. I still like the coupe over the others and if I want Z06 performance, I'll mod it to match....or at least close enough.
My sentiments exactly. Thought I would have warmed up to the C6 by now but its not happening. Styling ques on the C5 are much nicer in my opinion. Performance wise???...by the spring, my car will have far exceeded the stock C6 levels, so all is good in my book

Don't get me wrong...thats a kick a$$ price on a C6 and as JD said, someone is going to get themselves a great car for a great price.

I am looking at getting a C6 I just wanna get the best deal for the dollar. So I guess this isn't the answer you are looking for but just know you are not alone I have the same issue here.
I have noticed the same thing about C6 prices. On one hand I would like a C6 but my C5 is mostly a garage queen, looks and drives great. And I still get a kick out it! I think I'll hang on to it for a while longer!

Even if it has 200,000 miles that is still cheap...

Yeah, C-5 is going nowhere, but might have a younger brother (sister?) alongside in the garage soon.

I have driven the C-6 and I like it a lot, but the interior is just not as nice as the C-5 interior IMO.

Here is my take on a C6 I love the Z, but not yet the price, I am loving the new 08 as they really do have the go even with an A6 that I drove, more so than my 99 MN6 did when stock. I see myself in a base model 08 very soon for my DD and give my 07 Silverado Crew Cab to the wifey and get rid of her LIncoln LS

Oh I will keep my stock 749 rwhp Arctic White Coupe as I am addicted to Sick HP on demand all the time
