I sold my old 'Vette (72) before moving to Florida and have the itch now to get a newer one. For the Vette guys.... Are there any years to stay away from? I'm looking for a 2005-2010....But would buy a C5 if I found the right one. There are a chitload of cars down here with less than 10K miles on them that are owned by old guys. The only thing that I'm sure of is that I don't want red, black or yellow as a color. That weeds out at least 70% of them!!!

Thx in advance,
Craig

....and before anyone posts "Get a new one, they are awesome"..... I already know that but they are outside of my budget. I really like my wife and want to stay married!

The LS3 cars (08+) make more power than the earlier LS2 cars.

the only problems i have seen are the rear diff side covers still leak. the early (97-01) had steering column lock issues which can be a pain in the a$$. other than that dont be afraid of a car with some miles on it(30-40k). they seem to run better and leak less oil than the cars that are 10 yrs old with 5k miles on them

So THAT is where the drips at the rear of my wife's C5 are coming from! Thanks Tim!

I bought a '97 6 Speed a couple years ago and have had zero issues. Most issues any of these cars had are long fixed by now.

Its a lot of car for very little money.

Ok, so you found a bunch of clean, low mileage garage queen Vettes.......next step is to talk the owners prices out of the clouds! Remind them it is just an old vehicle made out of fiberglass and with an old pushrod engine......wait, that sounds like a boat!

Any year C6 Z06 it will make you smile.

you got that right!!! I just prepped a 2015 on friday. unbelieveable car

I think the 06-10 C6 cars are great. I would do the manual trans if possible. A tune on them wakes them up like wow.

Tremendous performance car for the $.
