Moved on to a C6
Sold my 2000 last year & Recently picked up a 2006 convertible. Was in the market for a C5 but after a test drive I couldn't resist. I will however miss the C5 section and wealth of knowledge the members have.

So question on you c5 guys. I'm looking at a couple different vettes to purchase and one is a 98' vert with only 48k miles for 17k is that price reasonable or too steep? It looks to be in great condition when I drove it!

It really depends on the specifics and details of the car. I believe you would need to post a lot more info to get forum members to give you an opinion. Good luck and best wishes!

I really wasn't planning on getting a C6, Just happened to see this one in my price range and jumped on it. This one is a Auto while the C5 was a standard but I'm already enjoying it just as much if not more. It has the paddle shifters and being a convertible is mainly what I was looking for. Oh and the horsepower bump is very noticeable.
I will agree with you, The keyless thing is something I'm still getting used to and I'm not sure if I really like it yet. As far as looks go, I'm not sure witch one I like more or less. Both look great imo. I drove 6 hours round trip and I will say I'm very happy with the car so far.
Thank you 
Another cool factor is I sold the Yellow C5 to my dad so I'm looking forward to cruising around with him!! Once we get a nice day Ill get some photos with us together.
