They're going up, actually. Some people are asking some (IMO) ridiculous prices. On autotrader there's people asking above $30K for their bone stock Zs with enough miles. Autotrader isn't the best place to look and seems like every car is over priced on it, but it's certainly a good start for a search. I bought my 02Z with 28K miles on it for 19.5K and it was in perfect condition. Finding an identical car under 30K has been a nightmare.

I think our cars will level out with an average of $20-25K. That's a screaming deal for the performance. I paid $33K for my Z16 with 19K miles back in 2007, so I didn't get quite the deal some of you did, but I've still very happy.

C5s are geting older, most z5z06 with low miles will probably settle around 20-25k and you should still be able to get a c5 coupe with low miles around 18-22k

Well I paid 54K for mine 6 years ago and I am suprised that its still worth half of what I paid for it.............My luck I figured it was worth about 6K 
Hopfully I can drive it more than 2200 miles this year...

What an intro to the forum, then, huh? LOL Yeah, my car was totaled on November 30th at 2:10am... That's a date and time I'm going to remember for a LONG time.
I found a car over the weekend actually. I was supposed to pick it up today (monday) but the lady didn't have a way to get it here so my bank can look it over because she doesn't drive stick. So I have to get one of my friends to drive me out to her area (about 1 hr away from my place) to grab the car.
It's a 2003 MY Z06. 19,900 miles on the clock. Completely bone stock and pretty much mint condition.
