IMO....sounds like you really have not driven the c4 enough miles to justify getting another vette and having another "garage queen".

Now, if you have intentions of putting some miles on the c5, do it while you still have the low miles on the c4.

Up here in Canada (Toronto) the prices have really dropped over the last year or so. You can get a 97 here for about $25,000 Canadian. I just got my 01 for $35,000. A little over a year ago it would have been between 40 and 45.

I had a 93 Vette with 18,000 on it, traded it on a 2004 and love the C5. Drive someone`s C5 then go get one there is no going back.

You will not be sorry, you will ask yourself why did I wait so long.

Having driven a '95 for a year + to keep mileage off my C5 I can tell you I finally decided to let someone enjoy the C4 more than I was, since compared to the C5 it was really a step back. Glad I got into one that was older, got the '95 with 18k miles at 8 years old and put 10k miles on it in 15 months. Makes me really appreciate what I got in the C5. But it got to the point where I had to pry myself out of the C5 and I knew somebody else would appreciate the C4 more than I was. The new owner used to own Vette's before his kids, but now the oldest is driving his old wheels and he needed to get a Vette again. Glad I gave him the chance. Good deals are possible, even on low miles C5's, look for a great one to match what you are giving up.
