bought my 04 coupe new in March of 04 with 5- miles - $39500, sticker was $53,000- a ton of deals back then because the c6 was just coming out!!

 

[Politronics]

WOW! I feel guilty. Just bought a 1999 Torch Red FRC, 43K miles, from a friend for $16K.

I think I am going to send him more money. I feel guilty.

Nah, I'll just buy tires, wheels, drilled rotors, rear brake vents, new calipers, maybe lower it a smidgen, upgrade the headlights and fog lights, put in the Euro rear taillights, make one of them there trunk seperator panels.....

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

I'm in that same problem, just got a 03 AE with 5xxx miles and not sure what to do - drive it or save it

Drive it. There are a TON of these cars out there, many of them low mileage, so don't expect them to appreciate any time soon. I don't believe the 50th anniversary model was a limited edition car, although it is one of the nicest colors ever imo.

[STi-to-Z06]

Total of 38K with a 90K warranty whcih covers me bumper to bumper on my 2004 Z06 that came to me with less than 9K on the clock. Car came with Borla exhaust, slotted and drilled rotors and is a BLAST!

Purchased from Carmax, as have my last several vehicles. All dealings with them have been pleasurable for myself and my wife.

Good looking 97, that white looks nice and clean! Has the rear window glass been tinted? Was going to do mine but everyone that has looked at it didn't seem to think it would turn out that good so I've been a little leery of doing it :ugh

Bill

 

[WetteVette]

No tinting. Stock glass all around. The rear glass does look tinted in the photo, doesn't it?

Sure does, with the curve everyone I've talked to didn't think it would look right so I didn't want to take a chance of it looking like crap :ugh

Hey if I hadn't welcomed you to CAC I will now, glad you could join us

Nobody's business...

But if you must know, we sold our 05 C6 w/50k for $29k and boiught 99 FRC w/25K for $19k, both spotless 6 speeds. The C6 was too red/plush/fancy/Caddylike and we needed some extra cash to start building a house anyway. Happy now!

The C5 Hardtop is a smart, excellent choice. You can remain in a late model Corvette with a huge performance potential after the house is done. The best of both worlds here in my opinion. I can imagine the fun of planning that new garage and the enjoyment of modding that FRC in it's new home.

Cost

I guess I've had the same opinion as Glide so I've not posted on this thread up to now. You know..........someone ALWAYS got a better deal! What the heck. I traded a 90' 6 sp. Coupe (130k miles) for an 02' auto coupe (42k miles) a few months ago. The 90' was developing quite a list of necessary repairs that added to my decision. The 02' is a low mileage auto with both tops and I was able to extend the factory warranty. It's loaded out w/12 changer, HUD, etc. I traded the 90' along with $23k for the new one.
