Thanks

I said "if" and I tend to agree with you but you never know. The value of a clean fox body has gone up substantially recently and 30 years ago they didn't really think that was the case. Its hit or miss with these things.

No options will matter. The car will not be special in even 10 years, specially the base model. Just buy the car you want.

I think that's got more to do with the fact that they were originally cheap and easy to get hold of. As a result, many were treated like disposable crap and junked, or very heavily modded. So now there's a a shortage of clean, stock examples for people who want to pay for nostalgia. I don't really follow C4 values, so I don't know if they've seen the same kind of shift. C5s might eventually get there. They're super cheap now, and people are buying them to mod or to use as donor cars for kits and swaps.

As far as the C8 goes? Who can say? I wouldn't base my purchase today on what may or may not happen decades down the road. GM is going to build as many of these as they can sell. Any given example is unlikely to be noticeably more or less valuable than the other 30,000 they'll make this year. Buy the car you want now, and enjoy it now.

Wow, I agree with Zorra Vette, he's about there. And, you should have a cocktail.😊

They would remove lifters on the correct cylinders and turn them into good running 6 cylinder rides!

Yep a high gas tax is how the “no fossil fuel” crowd will get folks to stop using hydrocarbon based fuel. Can see their ads now supporting the we’re killing the planet, “Puppies drowning in Florida because the State is threatened to be under water, etc etc!”

The standard financial line is that past performance does not guarantee future results. Having said that, go look at 97 through 2000 C5 values and see if any are worth a lot more than the others. If they are, I’m guessing it’s because of mileage and condition....

order what you want, and take care of it!

future value? This asset will depreciate whether you pay 90k or 60k.
