Default Whats it worth?

I am currently selling my GTO and stuck between 2 vehicles.

1.) Get a C5 Corvette.
2.) Get an H2 Hummer.

If I get the H2 I will sell my SUV and have basically 6k out of pocket. No biggie. If I get the C5 I will keep the SUV I have for another year.

I found a vette and the guy is ready to deal.

Its a 2000 FRC. Dark gray with leather. It has under 40k miles and the satin wheels. What is a good price for this car? The pics look clean and it has a clean title and a clean car fax.

Also are there any bad points about the 2000 FCR cars? Is it basically a 2001 Z06 with less hp? It comes with the Z51 suspension correct?

Thanks guys!

WTF do you need an H2 for? Get the Vette, Duh!

I think $16K would be a good price but $17K to $19K would be a fair price, maybe a bit more.

Talk about two different things... How on earth can we tell you what to buy, We don't know your needs or wants, I would be willing to say that seeing that this is a Vette forum most will say Vette.
Come on man, Make up your own mind...

Light pewter metallic was the only thing close to gray in the 2000FRC. If it was repainted, it was possibly wrecked...something to consider.

I am not saying for you to give me guidance as to get VETTE or an H2......

My questions are

What is a good price for this car?
Also are there any bad points about the 2000 FCR cars?
Is it basically a 2001 Z06 with less hp?
It comes with the Z51 suspension correct?

Thanks!

I work 10 miles from home and I have 3 vehicles other than my 2 motorcycles. I am just not sure what to get yet, however I am not asking you guys to help me make that decision. Just if this car is a good buy or not.
