Not fully loaded you won't. But good luck anyway. You won't see dealers dumping ~$57K Corvettes for $43K anytime soon.

If you have to pay 800 a month for anything dont bother.... prob for 72 months too huh.... I see too many people get in to trouble and lose thier credit... I am in finance, ifyou cant put anymoney down dont bother... 500 a month is still alot... dont overextend yourself just cause you like the car

Now which one would that be? No Z51? No dual roof? No A6? What is the MSRP on that one? ~$52K?

I just looked. MSRP ~$47K. Not the same car as mine. Sorry.

Take a look at STK# G80900. Subtract the dual mode exhaust ($1100) and that's the equivelent of what I'm driving. ~$11000.00 in upgrades. You could probably get this one from Kerbeck at ~$53K.

Just out of curiousity is the nav even worth the 1500? The reviews I've read are usually negative in regards to it.

Yes. It's pretty slick having the directions visible in the HUD. I've used it several times.

I'm skipping the C6 series... I'm going straight for the C7's the day they come out. (I'll pre-order)

IF I did get a C6 it would be the '08+.... don't spend $40k+ on a sub-'08


If you do have to buy used, get the cheapest '05 you can get and enjoy it fully until it's time to trade/sell, cut out as much of the depreciation curve as you can.....

I currently have a 2005 C6 and I have not had any issues with it. I have however blown the rear differential and casing in half. If there is one weakness to the 2005 C6 is the rear end. I wouldnt track the 2005 but wouldnt hesitate to dog out the 2006+ model.
