whats it worth!?
Ok i think it is time to sell the C5. Its a pain, i am now away at college again, and must still pay for the car, and store it. PLUS payments on my 04 wrangler DD. I CAN"T TAKE IT! I am just curious what i could get for it. Im lookin into a Infiniti g35 sport coupe 6mt. I test drove a couple, and they are nice little cars, plus then i won't need a DD. Soooo..... 2000 C5 Coupe. Millenium Yellow on black, m6, z51, active handling, tc, only mods are lowered on stock bolts, Corsa Indy exhaust, Corsa x-pipe, Blackwing intake. Nitto 555s with less then 500 miles on them. Car is flawless. 31K miles. Only have yellow top. WHATS IT WORTH?! i have an idea in my head, im hoping its close to what you guys think.

I think if you sell privately you might get mid $20.000. If you trade it in, you would be lucky to get high teens to $20.000. I only know this because I just traded my 2000 C5 yesterday.

$25-26.5K may be about what you could get. Prices are down right now. The G35 is a nice car - would serve you well as a DD.

you can get a brand new one for mid 30's... I think you will have a hard time getting what you want. almost never fails... your car is never worth as much to someone else as it is to you 
anytime you need a reality check, stop by a dealer and ask what they will give you for your car
