I hate to be a traitor, but Im wanting to upgrade to a C6. Ive gone back and forth about this for a couple months now, but I really feel like I want a manual C6 (Zo6.) For some reason, I feel like I am betraying my C5. It was my dream car when I bought it last summer, but now I feel like I want more out of owning a Vette. Am I psycho for thinking my C5 has a human personality and hates me now? Haha. This is not a thread to try and sell my car on here, just wanted to get your opinions. Asking price too high? Should I change my wording? Opinions? Thanks, gentlemen!
SELL IT! It'll find a "good-enough" new Home! Have no guilt!
I had my C5 Vert for 3 years and just sold it on CL a few months ago after picking up a C6 Vert. Enjoying the paddle shifters, keyless entry and push button start!!!! Would not go back to a C5 again! Sell it. Move on. If you regret it in a few years, just find another C5 Garage Queen and drive it like you stole it!!!

Compared to here in Colorado, that's a very good price for a C5 that nice, with a number of great upgrades. Honestly, out here in Colorado, it would probably be around $16k. Shouldn't have any problem selling it. Looks like a very nice C5 for someone. Good luck with your sale.
To each their own. At least you are looking for a C6 Z06 and not a base. They are a much better car for the money. Some like myself just love the C5 and would have a hard time parting ways.

You will love the C6 Z06. I had one from 2010 to 2016 before buying a new C7 Z. I had zero problems with it in 6 years. They pull ferociously between 4,000 and 7,000 RPM's. Hard to beat that naturally aspirated 427. The C6 Z with the wide body is a great looking car.
Do what you think is good for you, I will like to changed my C5Z down the line and taste another type of vette. I wish I could keep it when I get another one but don't have the space nor I want to spend money on two vettes.
Good luck with the sale and post pics of your new toy when you get it.

Here is my old Z:
New one:
You need a new plate
To the OP, hope you enjoy whatever car comes next! I would be with you, but mostly just because I don't enjoy automatics at all, even the really fast ones. GLWS! I think the price is more than fair.

It was correct on the C6Z, not on the C7Z. I'm superstitious though. I was able to keep the last Z out of the woods, so I'm sticking with it.
I've owned both and the C5 is a better car and way better looking.
A C5 anything better than a C6Z?
An argument can be made for looks, as that's completely subjective. Stock for stock, there's simply no comparison in terms of performance.

Put my C5 on Craigslist :(
Good luck with your sale.
