Vette Questions
Long story short, sold my last sports car for an 07 tahoe.....tired of the suv jazz and found a 05 C6 with 12k miles, 6 speed, and poser C6 Z06 wheels.
Im not for certain about the z51 package as i am still new to the c6 models. I know it doesnt have HUD, or navigation. what else should i ask about as far as trim or options that may make a diff. in the price?
dealership has offered 38,500 OTD........ should I jump on this or keep shopping around.
Thanks for any help and additional info.

Sounds like it doesnt have too many options.
some other important are:
z51 ($1600)
alum wheels ($1600)
on star ($1000)
multi disc CD player
If youre saying the 05 vette costs 38k - that doesnt sound like a very good deal. Kerbeck is selling 07s for just under 40k.

For $39,500 + TTL you can get an 07 1LT with 0 miles from one of the forum dealers. Assuming that taxes are about $2k of that $38.5k OTD price, this would equate to about $3k for new instead of used or about $0.25 each to buy back those used miles. I'd pass on that one.

Honesty is the best.
What sounded like a pretty good deal is really a rip off. Thanks Guys
and i know this is the wrong forum BUT........if I should lean to the C5 Z06 what could i expect to get for 35-38 OTD?

25k?? Cmon now be fair. that would be a good deal on a C5, but youre not going to find that on a lkow mileage C6 in good condition - not yet.
I would say about 33k would be a good deal on an 05 with low mileage.
