That is way out of my price range. C5's look better anyway. The C6 body style is too cluttered.

My recommendation for what it is worth - if the car is not what you want, especially in terms of color and options, keep looking. You may be thrilled with a good deal now, but soon you would find yourself regretting not waiting and getting what you really want.

$10.8k According to Edmunds. I spoke with Carmax people not long ago and they told me they offer pretty close to the appraisal value in Edmunds. KBB they say runs high.
