thats WAY too much for just a c5 if it has 67 thousand miles on it. thats even kinda high for a Z06. I got my 03 Z06 for 33,00 with only 16,000 miles on it. keep looking, there are great deals out there. if you want a c5 with 50K or over you should be paying 23-25k

$32,888 is Canadian so about $28 us, still over the price range you spoke off. How are the Auto Vettes any ways. 67,465 KM around 41915 Miles. I may to take it for a test drive

If you can purchase here in the US, you can find much better deals out there. Just do your homework and research this vehicle. If it sound, and it's what you want, then get it. Just keep in mind that there are better deals around if you can purchase here. Good luck, and post pics of whatever you decide to buy.

No way. I dumped my '03 Z06 with 26K miles for $30K U.S. You can definitely find better deals, though probably not through a dealer.

See if they'll come down on price. Also, what options does it have? Does it have both tops, z51 suspension, selective ride control, 1SB options, cd changer. These are good bargaining points to argue cost. Blue book value is 28,000 for retail.
