They do hold their value. Take a look for yourself. You can either get a C6 or a C5 Z06. The choice is yours. My dad is looking for a loaded 2006-07 C6 and for the money he can get another c5 Z06, but I bought his, which is why he's not doing that; he wants a change of pace (although he's consider z16...but let's not get into that).
The C6 WILL come down though, they are just up right now because of the season and they are so new.
Although, that being said, C5's are still up there as well. Some of them, especially 03/04 are money. Some are up there with the price of a Z almost (and I must say some sellers out there are on crack, same with the C6s).
You would think FRC's and 01z's are cheaper than 02+ Z06's. Not so.
Although performance may be similar, driving the two is completely different. A lot of C6 people have sold their cars to get into (or back into) C5 Z06's.
Congrats to the OP.

I just wasn't exactly sure how much of a difference there was in pricing between the C6's and C5 Z06's. I remember a while back I was just browsing autotrader looking at C5 Z06's and I was pretty surprised at how much a non-molested, decent condition C5 Z06 was worth. Just made me sort of question whether or not the early C6's were in their price range or not.

I never thought I'd say this.. But I just like being here in NY more than Southern California.
Awesome place to vacation to though.

Nice car and I miss my C5 to death. Only thing is I think that price is somewhat high even though the car is stock and unmolested. Higher mileage 05 C6s are in the low 20k range. That's part of the reason I sold my C5 but then work took a hit. Anyway congrats and you are a hell of a man to wait 2 weeks for tires! My impatient *** would of drove it home right away lol
