Sometimes I'm seeing C4's be more expensive then C5's
When will the C5 stop sliding and will it rebound any time soon?
Prices for any particular year will fall for 13-15 years then stabilize. Best to drive it now, why wait?

Default Best time to buy

There are some great buys in C5's out there right now. It's my personal preference to the C6 right now. the C5 clooks a little more "GT" and the C6 looks more like a stubby sports car. I'll eventually buy one, but more because it has more power and because I'll want something newer. The C5 will be the bargin sports car of the century. Plenty of power and looks, at really good prices. Wish I had waited another year to buy mine and gotten an '04. On the other hand - if you want to sell one.... not too cool!

C5's will continue to devalue. Keep that Blackrose if you can!
