For me, it would be between the 06 and the 07... 40k for an 05 is too much in my opinion.
Even for the 06 and 07 that price is on the very high end of reasonable. Stripped 08's are available for the same price as the stripped 07 you mentioned.
Either the 06 or the 07 would be better in the $35000 price. 06 and 07 were very similar -- no major changes. You just have to decide whether you want the extended powertrain warranty of the 07, or the fully loaded options of the 06.
I'd pick the 06, just because I love the HUD and the bigger brakes of the Z51. It would be cheaper to add a warranty to the 06 than to add the missing options to the 07.
Cheers,
Kent

I would not value any add-ons or after market stuff. Owners always push that but they are worthless on resale. Look at Edmunds.com for that year's car spec and that's the top the market will pay.

Buy the newest Vette you can afford and with the lowest mileage if you're going used. You can almost buy an 08 from a forum dealer for the price of the 05 you're talking about - and thats too much for one with that many miles on it! Shop around!

Caymans are islands. Corvettes are real sports cars and they're made in America.
Get an 09 Corvette. They keep getting better year after year...............

I'd check out the older Corvairs still. Just watch the front end lifting above 60!
I'm sorry as for the HUD question I didn't answere. I think Wards cataloge may have them!

Hey genius before you start ripping on people regarding their grammar, double check your work. If you don't remember here is a post you previously did. Read your post and next time don't forget the period at the end of your sentences.

No no no, you are the genius as you can't begin a sentence with a predicate and your use of the word 'their' is wrong along with the fact that the original posting was atrocious as far as spelling and grammar.
