Default Video - C5 Corvette & Top 8 reasons it is still an excellent choice in 2019

I believe the C5 is by far the best sports car for the money in 2019. Many of you already know this.

You can pick one up in excellent condition and low mileage for 12 to 16k. I feel so strongly about this that I whipped up a video with the top 8 reasons it still kicks ***!

Good video and hard to argue with the reasons you give. The C5 is one heck of a value.

Coworkers have commented "we know who has all the $"... I reply, your SUV etc. costs more. They look at me like no theirs doesn't.

Thanks for the video.

I've only had mine since Dec, but taking it out this past beautiful Sat, my neighbor up the road flagged me down and had about a million questions, and commented that when I drove by, he thought it was the greatest looking Corvette ever.

Agreed. 60k for a nice Tahoe or something a little less expensive and a 14k mint C5 corvette.

You are still in the honeymoon period! Good news, with the C5 the honeymoon period lasts a LONG time!

I read an article yesterday along the same lines my C5 Video .... but for the later years C4 corvette. The author made a good case for the C4's being a steal at WELL UNDER 10k for an excellent condition example - and he is absolutely correct.

I do remember staring at C4's back in the late 80s thinking WOW what a car! And again later about the C5's, C6's, C7 Z06 and in July 2019 I will probably be staring in awe over the C8!

It never ends.....
