[QUOTE="Creedence85, post: 136795, member: 4346"] If you're still looking, definitely take the time to get the car that's right for you, it's well worth it, as I can recently attest. I'd make a list of what you want and where you can compromise so you can get as close as you can. I've been in the market for a C6 for the past couple years, got more serious the past few months, and finally picked up a 2005 Z51 6spd a couple weeks ago, 60,000km, BC car, 2 owners with service history, and it was worth the wait. I knew I wanted a Z51 for the shorter gearing as the base gears feel naturally long to me, plus the springs/shocks, brakes and coolers were a bonus, and that I wanted heated seats and the HUD which a number of US cars don't have. If looking at C5s, consider if that's what you wantor if the improvements to the C6 are worth it. For me, the increased quality of the interior fit and finish and materials (not a rubber maid container), heated seats, more contemporary styling (not flip up lights) were worth it. On the other hand the basic chassis layout and performance are similar so comes down again to what you want and where you can compromise. Consult Canadian Black Book for wholesale price range and then compare to listings on Auto Trader, Craigslist, and the like. All the best and good hunting. [/QUOTE]
