how much do I need for a clean c5??? ok guys, as some of you may know, I am selling my trans am and my performance parts to buy a corvette c5. I am asking $8500 firm for my car and I should have around $9k - 9.5k after I sell the car and my performance parts.
so here is my question.... how much would I need to save up to afford a clean c5 with around say 70k - 80k miles wit a 6 speed? I am thinking anywhere from $12k - $14? am I in the right range here? I am a 19 year old college student so it would take me a while to save up to $14k (parents are not rich so I work and pay for what I want) so anything more would be nice but out of the question. im in Florida if that makes a difference in price range. thanks

I wanted a frc but at the time the pricing was about the same as the one I got now but the milage was tripled to what was on my car. If I wouldve waited I probably couldve gotten pretty much the same car cheaper. But at the time the economy wasnt as fucked up. Like they said before its a buyers market right now might as well take advantage of it while you can.

A lot of people say this and I just don't get it. My C5 Targa was cheaper and with the cam and longtubes will run past any ZO6 out there with the top off!

And by the way, same cam, LTs and tune on a Z06 and you'll be running door to door... You're not going to blow away every Z06 out there. That was a pretty bold statement.

That has nothing to do with what I said... Any car can be made to go faster. LS1 vs. LS6 is a draw because they're the same displacement, so of course it comes down to cam or heads or intake or whatever... My point was that you can't beat the LOOKS of an FRC. They simply look better in my opinion. The coupe has better aerodynamics than an FRC so long as the top is on, but it's worse than an FRCs with the top off. Either way, my point was about looks, not speed.

I just bought my 01 vette for $17K. It had 52K on the clock and was in great condition. If you're in florida, look up fpmotorcars.com. Brandon is a hell of a guy and he goes to all the florida auctions looking for customer requests. Visit his site and give him a call. Tell him Kyle Copeland sent you and he'll happily hook you up!

I paid 23K for my 03 Z with 60k 2 years ago. A year later the car could have been bought for 20-21k. Now, the car can be had for 17-19k. These cars just have not hit bottem yet.
