Default I own a C5 again!

Ok, I really didn't own one before, but when I was in high school, my dad let me drive his quite a bit. Well, I just bought another one, and I think I got a good deal on it... What do you think?

Not a bad deal for the mileage.

Hell, I don't know, but the mileage checks out on carfax. It's been leased quite a bit, and the mileage all adds up.

I'll put the question out to you guys, why does the driver's seat wrinkle in that way?

Every C5 Corvette I have ever seen, newer and older have been like that. Some people don't treat them as often and some never. But either way that was a great deal, I would like to find one like that.

I love the fact that there's no visual differences between the '97 and the '04. Admittedly, I'm less knowledgeable about vettes/F-bodies than about mustangs, but I don't know of any visual differences. So in the shape this one's in, why would anyone pay 12k+ more for the difference in years?

FWIW, I was considering between buying an '03-'04 Cobra, a brand new mustang GT, and a C5. I know some guys would prefer the Cobra, but I've already got a retardedly stout mustang, and I'll bet the Vette pulls down more *** than any mustang save a GT500 would. Plus, the vette was easier on the wallet both in cost and in insurance. I also love how light vettes are and I think ford is getting retarded with how heavy mustangs are.
