I'm in the market for a C5 vette. I have two that I'm thinking about right now.....

A 1999 hardtop with a Corsica exhaust, new Goodyear Eagle F1 tires (2005) and an a Pioneer Indash AM/FM/CD w/remote stereo. 48000 miles. All paperwork. $24500. Very good condition except for a couple rock chips in the front. Leather power drivers seat, tinted windows. 2nd owner

A 1997 coup. Mint...stock...26000 miles...no paperwork...no mods..original run flats....Excellent condition...has adjustable suspension, leather, power seats, etc
$23000 also 2nd owner

What seems like a better deal?

Thanks for the input........

 

Because of the mileage I would probably go with the '97

 

i'll play the devil's advocate and say look harder... you could get an 01-04 coupe with under 50k miles in the same price range.

not that there's anything wrong with the earlier c5s... i just think the newer it is the less likely it is to cause you issues.

between those two... i'd take the coupe as well. other people's mods are overrated.... do your own.

 

neither... those cars shouldnt cost over ummm $21k... no way id even pay that for them... but if i chose one it would be the 97, but i hate buying th first year of something... just seem to have the most issues...
