Biggest issue is f-body depreciation, values continue to plummet. Alwas better to take off parts before sale as the parts don't depreciate as fast.
13k is just the down payment into f.i. But it is fun. enjoy!!

I agree...
I got lots into mine w/ no regrets.
Any hotrod new or old will get about 40cents on the doller if your lucky.
Unless you restore a no. match hemi or zl1.
Everyone and their mother have vetts. My 5th grade teacher had a 427 vett.
my friends grandmother has a vett. I love vetts, (nothing handeles better) but Id take a boosted f-body over one any day. My black cherry 71 rs-z turns more heads then any new vett. The only time I think us boosted f-body dudes are going to want our money back is when the 427 zo6 comes out......

There is no way in hell I or most of the people I know would want a C6 over what is soon to be parked in your driveway. 
Ive owned 2 C5's and my parents have owned vettes for the last 25 years... a new one every 2 years. IMO opinion THAT is a waste. Besides, that C6 will depreciate when you drive it off the lot and substantially once they are in abundance enough to no longer allow dealers to do 5K over invoive pricing.
$30K for the car that you will be driving is a steal IMO. I got my Tahoe for almost 10K under sticker (my pops is the fleet manager) and I will probably have 15K in it by the time it gets into the 12's.
Value is in the eye of the beholder.
