Default Vette question

Hey guys. I am not a "member" yet.. Looking to get my first vette. I am selling/trading my 14 Challenger RT Classic.

Look in the mid to upper 20s.

I am thinking either C5Z or 2008-2011 C6 (Doubt i can find a good Z in my price range)

Which way would you go? This will be a fun car, NOT my DD, So i can play with it however i like. (And my wife supports this hobby fully)

I'd go with a C6, much more refined car than the C5.

With your budget if you go the C5 route, you can get a car with less than 20K miles. With a C6 you are probably looking at least a 40K-50K mile car.

It would be hard to find a clean 08+ c6 for low to mid $20's And when you do it will be 70k miles or more.
