Bam Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I really want a C5, z06 would be nice, but not a priority. Just want a good base to start with. Hopefully there are some out there around $10k, I've seen a few, but not common. So this is making me wonder if my goal is out of reach for a couple more years. I would prefer to pay cash for it, that's the reason for the limit, mileage isn't really a concern, just want clean body. So yeah, who's seen cheap ones?

GSXRAntwon Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 You wont find one for that price except for a with a blown motor or extremely high mileage...ive seen them for more around $15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 You can get C5's for that price...but not Z06's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah, seems like $12-$13k with 100k is more common. Well, maybe it's a next years thing. That or I could settle for a camaro/formula, but really don't want that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 You can get C5's for that price...but not Z06's Pretty much summed it up right there I see C5 cars going for as cheap as 11.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can however pick up an SS or Z28 Camaro for cheap and mod it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have seen quite afew c5's going for around 11k. here was one at a stealership for 10,500 not long ago. Mileage doesnt scare me and I may pick one up this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 True, if I could find a nice ss/z28 6spd for under $7k w/ decent miles, the difference in cost might sway me, but after driving both and riding in both, the vette is much improved all around.

You can however pick up an SS or Z28 Camaro for cheap and mod it This is a sad reality for me, because my car is about worthless now. I love my car, but bought it new six and a half years ago. I'd save for the Vette, because if you think a cheaper Vette has been beat on, an F-body would surely have had the shit beat out of it.

Bam Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thats y the sticker is more lol Oh I understand, and am willing to pay more for it, to an extent. No point to take out a loan for a fun, weekend car and if I have to wait another year, no biggie, I plan to keep it for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Where, if you don't mind sharing.... If your asking about the dealership, I wish I could remember.. I seen it one day posted on craigslist(months ago) called and it was just sold. I cant remember where it was but I nearly pissed myself when I saw it. I would have left right there and then had they still of had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 $five dolla? You don't sound very attached to it anymore... Thats not it at all, it just bugs me that even though my car only has 53k miles on it, it really isn't worth a fraction of what I have in it. I paid about $27k when I bought it, and now with all the mods I bet it isn't worth $7k. It's just bothersome, I don't plan on parting with it so the money doesn't really matter.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Their out there, I just had an argument with a guy on craigslist who swore up and down I couldnt find a c5 cheaper than his $14K asking price. found 5 for around 11k in minutes. They werent local but he bet me his corvette I couldnt do it. I never got the corvette. If your willing to go to the car, their out there.

Cars are not investments mmm k! I'm not going to add anything up, that's just what it cost to get the title. Mine is a big investment, I put in all kinds of money because I'm clinicly obsessed, and have so much fun doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
