Depends on the year and condition but a 2001 vert with lo miles and excellent shape would be about $34k from a private owner/classified ad and about $3k at least higher from a Dealer....maybe $2K less on each by next summer.

Hard to predict, so just wait til June, and do the research then. I'm sure you will find a deal that you will be happy with 
Boy, I wish I would a raise that was enough to have me considering a "friend" in form of a C5

Not sure what the price would be, but it is a great way to spend that raise.

I just got confirmation of a promotion of my own at work. I'm looking into a 99-00 FRC around the August 2005 timeframe. For both our sakes, I hope prices continue to slide a bit. I know that will anger some owners, but we wannabes gotta get into the cars as cheaply as possible so that the mods can come on in a hurry.

Raise? What's that? 
Depending on the year and equipment - the car could range anywhere from the low 20's to mid 30's. And, don't limit your search to cars that are local. I live in Phoenix, but I bought my car from a guy who lives in Hoffman Estates! I had a great time driving it back to Phoenix!

I would suggest looking to buy in April vs. June.
I've always heard, to get the best deal on a sports car, buy in the winter, to get the best deal on a 4x4, buy in the summer. The old supply and demand theory supports this.
Hmmm, a Mid-Year and a C5; to be so lucky.....
Best of luck in your search.
