Just purchased a C-5 2002 roadster, with white top over Speedway white exterior and torch red interior. Very rare color combination, just 12,000 miles. I probably paid too much, but was just what I wanted and in pristine condition. Gets a ton of good comments and many many looks. My point is, if you like it, enjoy it, don't get to caught up in resale value or if white is not as popular as something else and you know all the garbage and analyzing---just enjoy!

Thanks, did you buy from the Forum? I was searching the white FS vetts and a nice one did sell. I was about to buy a black 02 Z but have always loved white, my last 3 cars were white. Congrats on the new car, maybe I can find one for xmas and have some people throw in some cash lol...

THanks, No, I did not find it on the forum. I first saw it on e-bay, but actually purchased it a few months later. The one thing a white color has going for itself is that --A white color is very forgiving when it comes to dings or a scratch. Hope it all works out for you--Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

When I bought my C5, I didn't even consider"white". Red was all I wanted so I'm happy with my red convert! However, the white convertibles with red interiors have really grown on me and I'd luv to have one!

I bought a white 04 vert and liked it at first but grew tired of it and traded it on another 04 vert but red this time . I love the red . White is plain and boring .

That's the first time I've ever seen accent pin-stripping on the side of a C5. It looks pretty good. I like it......

All of our vehicles are white. Looks good and simple to maintain.
