Has the window valet fell out of favor? Right now there are 3 for sale on the C6 forum with zero bites.
I did not check the C5 forum yet but l sold mine for $65 del to get rid of it.

The only reason l sold mine is because l moved from a C5 to a C6. I am looking to pick one up for my C6 but l will wait for a deal before l do anything. Not in a rush

I love mine, bought it years ago, and love the part of cracking the window when it's hot out, to release the heat.
Wouldn't trade it.

If there was one selling for half of new cost, I would consider it but when people drop $10 off the price of a new one I'll just wait for a good deal. I am always trolling C6 parts for sale looking for good deals. I saw a Magnaflow exhaust going for $1200, really some guys have things not priced to sell. Basic economics: supply and demand!

I've had mine for nearly 8 years now. I use it to open and lower the windows in the garage but would not be without one.

I have one. Used it one time to roll the windows up as I walked away from the car. Came back to a dead battery so I removed it as a test. Haven't had battery problems since so I have not put it back in.

Living in South Florida the heat in the 90s everyday, and my daily driver I use it daily, and haven't had any battery issues.
