Hi, i am not too familiar with the pricing of the old gen vettes..since i was not into them until the C6s were released..so what was the base price for the C5, C5 Vert and C5 Z06?

Thanks

I believe the C5, when it came out in 1997, was about $37,500. That would be 1997. I think the convertible was around $46,000. And the Z06, in 2001, was about the same as a convertible. I'm sure someone has accurate prices.

then how is it they say that C6 actually turned out cheaper than the C5 when launched? I dont get it..The first model year for C5 Z06 was 2001? and what was the pricing then?

Thanks for the info..

I believe base C6 was cheaper than the last year (2004) base C5
There's been price increases every year since '97

there is inflation too. prices of everything go up so you need to take that into account cause there was a time vettes costed like 15,000 new.

Showing my age but how about 3-4K new!

Remember, the price I mentioned, $37,500, was a C5 coupe in 1997. In 2004, the price of a Coupe was about $44,000, so the increase on a C6 was negligible at best.

Thanks and what did a new Z06 cost new in 2004?

Z06LUST

List--with the $800 destination charge (all cars get it) was about $52,500 to 54,000-give or take $250 (limited options--electostatic mirrors, door ding protective panel things, liense plate holder, color surcharges, seat memory) but up to about $57,500 with the CE option....obvioulsy at the end of the year clearence sales folks bought cheaper, rebates etc ...but those put you into the ballpark for MSRP
