Less then 7% of car were prob manufactured to my specifications....maybe less then 7% and how many still exist on the road ...I still think investment...yes I have plenty of fun and enjoy the car but I still expect to have turned a pretty penny off it in the end ...if there perhaps was ever one ...Doesn’t that bring more value ? People some people anyways aren’t really willing to get rid of their toys ...if they don’t reap what they seek....by the time the edge of time rolls around and somewhere sometime someone wants a c5 what could they expect to pay ..5-600k maybe more if you want all the premium options ... Just can’t find Um much one day 20’years later ...I bet now 2% of 5k cars is what 250 ....1/2 are prob been melted down ...so 125 2000 corvettes prob exist world wide with all the options in pewter that’s a big maybe 125 ....


But sure I get it I’m just judging year specific only ...not including the real after Math of year by year production..which still after all the track converted one and wrecked scraps how many exist today in total ?

Not all cars are collector cars. In fact...MOST are NOT. You can rattle off the numbers and statistics all day long. However, unless you're talking about a C5R (or something else on that level), your C5 is never going to be a collector. There were simply too many made, and too many that still exist in premium condition. Also, consider that the C6 is essentially the same car with more HP and a slightly updated interior. No one here is saying that the C5 isn't a GREAT car. However, if you're looking at it as a financial investment, you're going to be disappointed. If you look at it as an investment in personal enjoyment... well for that IMHO, the C5 is hard to beat

Plenty of them out there. At least they were all built with the Z51option. Of course, a good few FRC's are now masquerading as Z06's...

I had to reread this, but u pissed cause the c5 has not taken a significant rise in value.

because u came insulting directly to me !!! This has nothing to do with a value and even it did your not stick to the subject of year specific like the others have ...they make good debate without insult ...or atleast if they insult it it not directive to a person..feel me ?

Anyways let’s get back on track...you can’t define a price especially on a custom car ...being year specific as well as the options that were factory and the 1 of 1 mods that people have done how can I price it ? What will someone pay to go 0-160 per day in 6 sec ‘s ? Prob a lot more then a stock c5...

Today’s market 15-17k I have seen a slight rise given the last 3 years actually.....California cars oh are also so much more sought after ....I had someone off me 28k the other I refused it ...cars worth more then that to me ...this my friend is the value ..Doesn’t matter what the next man gets it’s about what I fetch for my car ....long as I get what I want I’m happy i usually am good at selling as it’s my job anyways .....so..end results I think value has gone up ..will continue to grow ...investment = something long term ...I bet in 20 years when the car is 40 ...it returns 40k stock form ...more of its been modded from mild to wild ...

🤣🤣
once again I had to reread this and YOU'RE pissed because the c5 value not high as you want it to be.

you expecting no one to disagree with you and question you why you think it should be high? 🤣🤣

the c5 is the poormans/entry level to the LS that's why the value is where it is even with your x4 the amount of mods and supercharger

Disagree all u like ..it’s a matter of opinion!

Car gas all the options in Pewter just can’t find I’m from 2000 like that . Black interior full electric driver /pass ..HUD ...all of it power telescoping...just a luxury sports car and out here in Cali I have a registration with a luxury TAX on the bill..Just one more tool I will use to drive the price of mine up ...I’m a sales man in the real word big boy ....One hell of a good at that If I must boast a little ...so before I went selling recklessly I would pre plan my advertising....!



Maybe your losses on your vette are significant compared to other which drives your madness ...Sorry I ain’t mad at the value not on mine ...nope...
