They are not rare when there are over 2000 made
Since there are only about 1100 vettes export each year to Canada for the C5, the used vette prices are higher than in the US due to supply and demand.
I have come across a few rare corvettes on Craigslist and have sent emails to the person selling the car asking why it is so rare. I give them the number of vettes made in a certian colour or a certian tranny based on their description. They come back and says well it is rare for Canadian which is sorta true since just over a 1100 vettes enter Canada every year. Most vettes end up in majhor cities and Saskatoon is not a major city so it could be called rare but I don't agree.
In 2001 there were 80 MY Z06 in Canada and in 2002 there were 65, don't have the number for 2004.
Here are some number regarding my 2001 NBM here in Canada and How I can since the car into being rare.
In 2001 there were 1125 vettes imported into Canada and of which 59 were NBM. Since I own a coupe and out the 59 NBM only 15 were NBM coupes so in Canada a NBM coupe is rare to see.
So in theory my vette is rare

Everyone's definition of rare is different. The 83 in the museum is rare. The Torch Red C6 in the museum is rare. I'd say something would have to be single digits to be rare to me. But to someone else, any vette could be rare.

Here is my take on rare:
I have come across a few rare corvettes on Craigslist and have sent emails to the person selling the car asking why it is so rare.

They come back and says well it is rare for Canadian which is sorta true since just over a 1100 vettes enter Canada every year.

In my 50 years of driving and owning Vette's there are always adds with "stuff" that never existed from the factory--or that ever existed, period. Just a typical salesman con job and way too expensive.

Shakespeare called it the “green-ey’d monster.” You know it as that powerful emotion you feel when you see your significant other talking to someone of the opposite sex or when your neighbor cruises up in the luxury car you’ve been dreaming about but could never afford. Jealousy is not only intense, but a very common emotion, even for the most self-confident of people.
