Default c5 value?

I always search around autotrader and craigslist etc just to look at different Vettes and if anything unique is up for grabs, and I've noticed tons of people trying to sell their c5's for low to mid 20s, yet I see a ton of 05-08s for the same price and mileage? Am I missing something? If these c5's are really going for such high prices I'm about to list mine

I'd have to question why the '05-08s are going for such a low price, especially the '07-08s. You don't say what mileage are on the cars, but around here C5s still seem to command a decent price.

I see alot of 05 and 06's with 50-60k miles and many c5's listed in my area with the same mileage only 2 or 3 grand short of their prices, I'm wondering if c5's are growing in demand or something of the sort

It's that time of year, most used Vette prices will be increasing as Spring approaches. Here in NC we've had a couple of 'remove the targa top' days which helps fuel the desire to buy a Vette. Some dealers will be posting some cars with high asking prices hoping that someone with Corvette buying fever comes in and pays the spring time prices.
