Default Help !!
I'm looking to buy a C6. What years would you recomend or not recomend and why.
I currently have a C5 Coupe and a 66' convertible so I'm not new to Corvettes but don't know much about the C6s.
Thanks,
DFA

Depending on what you can afford, get one between 2005 and 2012.

If you want the LS3 with the extra ponies, start at 2008.

09 & 10 models might be harder to find due to low production.

Useful summaries in the Corvette Black Book -- the latest edition should be out soon.

Lots of info details, by year:

If the car is going to be a cruiser, then any year including the 05 is okay. If you plan to beat on it some, I would go with a 08 or newer.
