Pricing question.
I took a look at a 2000 C5 this morning.
Black, grey interior.
100,000 kms
One solid removable roof.
Chrome rims.
New brakes and tires @ 90,000.
HUD.
Original paint, few minor stone chips.
Leather shows normal wear for 100K
Automatic
Bone stock under the hood.
Used car dealership is asking $32,500.
This is the first Corvette I've actually looked at closely so I have no idea what it's worth.
TIA.

Have a look at the C5's for sale on this website, they are going for 18-20 in the US with 50000 miles on them. It can't be that hard to bring them up here, and our dollar is really good right now.

This is slightly off topic, but I have always wondered why the 2001-04 M6 cars made more torque than the 2001-04 A4 cars? But from 97-00 the M6 and A4's made the same torque. Was torque management way more aggressive on the 2001-04 A4 cars that it would suck out that much torque?

Go to America. You'll save dough and you'll get a most excellent adventure going to get it.
Have fun.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but would you guy's consider a 2001 Z06 with 170,000 for $29,000? That seem's a little high, no? I'm buying a C5 in October, so I've just been searching the autotrader to see what I'm in for!!

I was certainly going to go to state side for one,,, but had little time to invest in the whole process....SO, i snatched one up here in Ontario...
i'd love to hear any positves or neg's about bringing one into canada/ the little research i did seemed like a lot of hoops to jump thru.
I probably would have saved roughly 8-10 K !!! if bought in the US tho

Steck, just curious, would you have still bought the car you did, if the owner had told you it originated in the US? Would you have paid the same price? If the answer to either question is no, reconsider how much buying a car in the US will actually save you, as you will lose on the resale, most of the time... Be careful with US cars, histories are a bit tricky to secure, accurately, and there are a lot of write-off/rebuilds being flogged..... If it is a one owner car, substantiated, or with a rock solid history, you might be able to save significant money, up front, but you will need to recognize that you are sacrificing resale..
