Sell both of them to people who will drive and enjoy them. If you want a garage queen, buy a restored midyear with the money from the sale.

It's a seller's market right now. Put them both up for sale and ask a few thousand more than you think you would get for both of them. You might end up selling them both and make a lot more than you will when there are more used cars on the market. I did a nationwide search for a red 08 base yesterday on Auto Trader and only found two advertised. Both were low mileage cars and were priced just below $30k.

So would you be interested in a higher mileage one for under $20K? Jus askin

you obviously don’t drive either of them enough to fully enjoy either of them so give them a new home. Neither is appreciating enough to justify having them stored any longer.

So - Let's say it's a nice sunny 70 degree day - you need to a friends house that's say half an hour away - which key fob do you grab ?

No. I was searching because a Forum member found a high mileage 08 base and put up a post asking how much forum members thought it was worth. If I sell my C6, which I’m considering because of this sellers market, I would start looking for a C7 GS.

Personally I'd keep the 08.
