Deep '04 C5 discounts tempting...
Seeing offers of up to $13K off msrp on remaining '04's. Sure is tempting... recently paid off house and have six figure equity available. I've always said its better to buy pre-owned and get a better deal, but damn a brand new Vette, one that no one else has ever flogged, ever curb scuffed, ever farted in... well, just damn. That would be a dream to get a brand new one 
Triple black MN6 baaaaabyyyyyy!!!! Damn. I gotta snap out of it! What am I thinking? C'mon, you're so tight you squeak walking. Forget it. Be sensible...

With no house payment, that much equity, and the discounts, I would be running down to get an '04. Like was said, you only live once.

Seriously, never have the prices been this good and probibly never will again. What an opportunity but strike quick because the quantity and choices are dropping day to day. Good luck

Just do it!
I just bought an 04 and got a great deal. See my post earlier today. You only live once and the discounted price of the 04 versus a really nice low mileage newer C5 is not going to be that huge in the grand scheme of things. At the end of the day you have to be comfortable with the decision.

Someone compared my being a tightwad to bark on a tree in another post. Point being, I feel the same as you when it comes to my $$. I did in fact go with the used market and picked up a 2001 nicely loaded blk/blk coupe, 6-spd for $27.5 with new meat all around. Do I regret it, no. BUT being that you and I are probably on the same thought path, let me just tell you that if you haven't been looking long in the used market, you are in for a treat. It took 4-months to get the guy to come down to my price on the vehicle. You don't have that much time. The people selling the used ones are PROUD of their car. There is even a small chance that after tomorrow (Monday) you won't have the opportunity to get one as cheap as they are right now. They may revert the rebates back down to $3k. I doubt it but you never know. The time to decide is NOW! Or, roll the dice and see what Tuesday brings.
