Default Help! Sell Or Keep

Hey Guys
Well I Need Some Help Making A Decision. I Have A 2000 Ws6 With 40k Miles On It And I Am Thinking About Selling It And Trying To Get A C5. But The Catch Is That I Don't Have Any Money To Add To After I Sell My Ws6. So Do U Guys Think First, That I Should Get A Corvette And Second, Will I Be Able To Get Enough Money For My Ws6 To Get A Almost Equililent C5. Some Guys Please Help Me Out......post Your Opinions And Ideas. Keep Or Sell

A 2000 WS6 is a very nice car and will probablly get you close to 13K-15K if you sell it privately.

A decent mileage vette will cost you 19K+ unless you find a steal.

Your car with a bolt-on or two will be faster than a stock Vette in a straight line.

The vette will always be the better handler no matter what you do to the F-Body.

The Ride,Fit and finish will be better in the vette.

The bang for the buck and the price for aftermarket parts is better with the F-Body.

It's hard to go wrong with either of the LS1 based vehicles!(I loved my 00 SS and I love my 04 Vette)

Do some shopping around and see if the purchase makes sence for your budget.

Goood Luck!

You need to decide what your goal would be with the vette first. What year and type are you interested in? If your all about drag racing I would say keep the WS6 even if it is a daily driver. If you could care less about drag racing a vette will be very satisfying. This is my third vette and I will never be without one again. It's simply more car to start with.
