Well you're in the right place here C6...as the prices for some
of the C5 cars are just outrageous...some are 10K overpriced.
But C5 is a really great looking car and yes would agree that the
C5 rear was especially good looking...however C6 is just a better
engineered car..and a better deal price wise unless you can find
a reasonable C5 seller.

Doesnt sound like they are bashing the C5 but explaining that some owners are selling the C5 for out of this world prices.
I wouldnt fret it as we all have great cars, no matter what generation it is

I like both cars and with the exception of the C6 Z06 and ZR1, I like the C5 a lot better. But the '05-'07 C6's are pretty cheap I think because when the LS3 came out for the '08's, everyone started getting those and there wasnt a big market for the LS2 anymore. Hopefully within the next year I can get a C6 for a stable mate.

Lots of new 08 C6s going for invoice give or take a few hunderd bucks as the soft economy is forcing the dealers to work with new buyers and GM is pushing them out at a clip faster than the C5 so the LS2 is losing value faster than anyone thought. Has me considering a 07 this fall when the 09s are out, but then I hope to have found a 2000 Vert with 1100 miles on it for the low 20s

There may be people looking to buy their first Corvette and think the used C6's are in the $45,000+ range. This makes $30,000 C5's look better from both a $ standpoint and a styling standpoint.

I dont think you will be able find a 2000 vert with 1100 miles in the low 20s. Not being negative, just seems way to low a price for a car with that mileage. I know I wouldnt part with my FRC with only 8000 miles for less than 25k. Wishing you luck on you search.

It's the economy and the amount of disposible income people have. I just sold my C6 for 29K and bought a C5 for 19K. The C6 is basically the same car reskinned. I need some cash for a house but didn't want to give up Corvettes altogether. A lot of depreciation the first couple years though...

In late August I bought my 2000 pewter C5 Vert with 13,442 miles on it for $28,000 in Az. I think location and condition are the factors to consider. They may be going for a little lower now because of the economy.
Good luck!
Good luck!
