Bought my 2002 Pewter Coupe with 14,000 miles, 2 Tops,Z51, All stock and 1 owner for 22,000 for my Birthday in 2007 and that price included a 0 deductable 4 year warranty.
It was bought from a Dodge dealer here in Reno, They just took it in on trade, I was driving by the lot not even looking for a car when the C5 yelled out to me and said look over here, I went around the block and pulled in and that same day I no longer had my 2004 Grand Prix GTP and had a very nice low miles coupe.

Bought my 99 5yrs ago from the original owner for $23k..I was happy with the deal since I wanted a black car with the 3.15 perf axle..The only downfall was the wagon wheels but they were replaced quickly!!..

Found and bought mine, here on the CF back in Dec. 2006. It was in Texas, but it was what I wanted, color and all. It was winter, so I had it transported here.
Here's the ad thread from back then.

Looked EVERYwhere.
Found and bought off Craigslist, believe it or not, from a member here selling it in Gloucester MA in May of '08.
Thrilled with it.

Bought mine from a dealer advertising on Ebay. It took several months to find the perfect one, but they are out there, and the hunt was pretty fun!
The only negative was the car was 2700 mi away, but the drive back was a remarkable trip.

I see you are in NJ. Konner Chevrolet in West Caldwell usually has a C5 or two. Also check Paramus Auto Mall in Paramus and Kerbeck in AC. They have a large turnover and usually have some C5's. You can also contact some of the local clubs as their members are frequently changing rides.

Believe it or not at a local Ford dealership
Guy just traded it in for a minivan or something and pulled it into the lot. At that time I had been looking for a 01 or higher black coupe, M6 with relatively low miles (30k). As it turns out I was across the street at the chevy dealership when I saw it...and whaddya know??? Boom right into my lap. As soon as he pulled up all the guys stopped looking at the mustangs and a small crowd gathered around the vette. I didn't even wait for them to put a sticker price on the windshield the price was right and it was all mine

You get what you pay for. For me, I don't find their prices unreasonable. Consider that their cars are all virtually perfect, low mileage cars that have been expertly inspected and serviced. Any minor flaws have been corrected and the car you choose is ready for your enjoyment. Can't put a price on piece of mind.
