What I would really like to find is a C5 with a blown engine at a way cheap price. Any Vette salvage yards out there?

If a person blew up their engine I am sure that they would just replace it. A salvage yard would more than likely only have wrecked cars or theft cars. Try an auction of some sort you should have better luck with them.

See, I am not the only one wanting a C5.

I'm willing to bet money that they will drop significantly. Hell, when the 405 hp Z06's came out the 385 hp Z06's dropped substantially.

I'm betting that you'll see 405 hp Z06's for $29k-31K and low mileage C5's for low $20's.

I think they will continute to drop honestly.

I'm seeing some 97-98's with high miles in the teens.

C4's are around 9K in some cases I call that depreciation.

C6 looks like to me it will look similar to C5 so I think that C5'ers will jump ship for the power.
