Default Did you buy your current C5 new or used?

I bought mine used at the dealer. I wanted a Z06 and just couldn't afford a new one. I had just convinced my wife to let me get a 'vette and I was pushing the limit with the price of the used Z06.

Bought mine used last August with 69k miles on it from a reputable (so I am told) dealer. Also got a Universal Warranty Corp. 3yr $200 deductable nose to tail coverage. So far the only trouble has been a faulty multi-function switch which was covered. Next expense is new tires [&:]

My C5 was the first new car I had EVER bought, although I owned my 68 vert for almost 22 years before I sld it to buy the C5. I was able to get it at $2500 below sticker. 3 years later, my neighbor bought hers for $11,000 under sticker. I guess good things come to those who wait. The tax alone for my car was $4000 - yee-haw!

I bought mine a few weeks ago from a dealer. I had a few minor problems( headlight motor and fading dual air display) but took care of these myself. Very pleased otherwise! Then again I would be happy with any vette any shape.

I had both my headlight motor gearsgo out on me 2 months after I gotmy car. It is a very easy fix though and cheap.
