#87 of 427 Re: Price two years from now? [maukaonyx] by blkhemi Nov 07, 2005 (7:29 am)
Replying to: maukaonyx (Nov 06, 2005 8:20 pm) You could get a basic '05 now for $40k. The dealers are discounting these heavily. I read that someone got $5k off of one. A base '05 C6 with no options opens at $43k, so you can deal from there. Why wait two years when you can get one new?

#88 of 427 The other tack ... by starrow68 Nov 07, 2005 (9:22 am)
I agree the C6 is nice but it still is having first year issues that may still pop up. The C5 on the other hand is fully sorted and since I got the wife's for under $40k new a year ago I see them as more affordable by a pretty good margin. Also there are always good garage queen, show cars available from those trading up if you take time and look around. Except for the pop up headlights on the C5 I like it better than the C6's I've come across at this point. Then the gremlins in the new keyless locking and starting system would keep me on the side lines for awhile yet. Nothing bad that I know personally but seems the system can be quirky and they may sort some of that out, yet.   As to price differentials in two years, figure on what I call the cost of a Vette, about $5k per year decline and that drops some after the first couple years. Then again it is more a function of the economy, etc., than Vette specific.

Replying to: blkhemi (Nov 07, 2005 7:29 am) I don't disagree with the pricing but since a very small % of Vettes go out with no options I'd be wary of getting one that way unless you have a specific target use, like the track, and plan to keep the car until it dies. The prices you see for used Vettes are mostly for highly optioned cars since that is the way most ship in the first place.

Replying to: starrow68 (Nov 07, 2005 9:26 am) That's correct. However if a person truly wants one, they could search dealers inventory nationwide, especially since the '06's are rolling in daily. Neighbor bought a '05 at Chuck Hutton Chevy in Memphis for $37500. 6 miles on the odo and 6-speed. He drove from Maine just to pick it up. It is difficult to find a "stripper", but it can be done. His C4 and C5 were base models. I think he's just in it for the thrill and no frills.

Replying to: starrow68 (Nov 07, 2005 9:26 am) I've had them both, a loaded c-5 and a stripper c-6 the c-5 was great when everything worked, I feel that the c-6 will have much less electrical problems and the regular seats are better than the sport seats. I drive mine for work in all of the weather but snow. The value is a well maintained used Corvette with some miles, you'll get a great car for a lot less money . these cars eat up miles. Try finding a used stripper, thats the ones with the lest problems. Replies to this message: blkhemi (Nov 08, 2005 1:52 pm)

Replying to: isgt (Nov 07, 2005 9:23 pm) I bet your C6 stripper is much nicer than the C5. It has more content just not all of thrills. IMO, a lot of the frivilous options take away from the driving experience. The C6 stripper is much harder to detect than the C5 when looking on the outside, especially at night with the new HID headlights.

Does anybody have some leasing experiences they would like to share? I'm in the market for either an '05 or an '06. What are you guys paying monthly? How much did you have to put down? Etc.....

Replying to: blkhemi (Nov 07, 2005 7:01 pm) What's everyone think? 05' Targa top, pwr seats, heads up display, leather, polished alum wheels, XM radio, 1900 miles for $35K? Replies to this message: blkhemi (Nov 20, 2005 9:35 am) jerrymcshane1 (Nov 21, 2005 8:21 am)

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Nov 18, 2005 10:08 am) Get the Carfax, and if all checks out, go for it. If at all possible, try to negotiate more on the price. $35K is sweet, but $33.5 is awesome. Good luck. Replies to this message: jerrymcshane1 (Nov 21, 2005 8:21 am)
