Personally, I'd wait till well after summer when prices start to drop. Last fall I trying to sell my truck to get back in a C5, C6 or new SS Camaro and I saw a lot of good deals. Never did sell the truck but couldn't pass up a good running 1997 that just needed cosmetics for 11k

We bought our first vette 2 weeks ago today and could not be happier, it is a '98 with 44k on it we paid $15k and I truly feel we stole it as it was pretty much exactly what we were looking for and that is low mile, no mods (I can do that), 2nd owner with last owner with 11 years of ownership and a not so much seen color that we both liked (the wife and I). It drives like a new car and people that have seen it that don't know vette's think it is only a year or two old. Good luck with your search!
