This is easy . Real easy . C6 . And for some reason. I dont recall it coming up , which to choose?
Low mile first year 6th gen ?
Higher mileage 3rd ,5th year gen 6 but not beat ?
Choose the 2nd. Unless its a steal .
If you can swing a c6 z06 live the dream
10k mile early c5 or 60k mile c5 z06 , z06
Of course how much sun its seen salt air its seen (gm does not prep steel bolts that go into aluminum)
Ideally you would find your perfect car in northern georgia. Or seattle. But prob wont.
Been in your shoes be patient and you will be merry
drove a gran sport for 5 years and only lost $200 in depreciation.and was very dependable

I went from being in my truck for 2 and a half to three hours a day and burning almost two tanks of diesel a week to now (for the last year) burning a tank a month. I've put 4,000 miles on my truck in the last year. I figure that I should get something that will be fun to drive to the golf course or the tennis club. Waiting on some pictures of SS930's Dads C5 car. If we can get it together, I will buy that and see if I like it. I can always get a newer, more expensive one later...

Craig,
My father has a silver 1999 C5 that he bought new. It has the Z51, 6 sp, and all the performance options. It's in mint condition (really), but probably needs some new tires and a good cleaning (mostly under the hood) from sitting. He starts it and takes it for short rides here and there, but other than that it's hardly ever driven. I believe it has 31k babied miles on it, never beaten on! The car is 100% stock to the best of my knowledge.
He mentioned to me the other day that it's time for it to go to a home where someone else will enjoy the car more than he does these days. If you're interested, shoot me a reasonable offer, I'm sure he'd sell it for below book value. The car is in CT, but I will be going down to FL at the end of April with an empty truck.

I've seen two pictures of it and know that it has a 6-speed and a black interior. That's about it..........I hope I like it!!! LOL
