ITT: Help Me decide

so i kind of stumbled upon a car today.

while at work i noticed a C5 vette on the lot, still had plates on it, figured it was just a customer. yet i go to leave work, and the car is now sitting in the used car lot forsale. which brings me to this.

i got a GOOD price on the vette, but what to you think? my options really are sell my camaro and audi to get the vette, or keep the my 2 cars and continue to just drive them until i have enuff $ saved for something nice.

cliffs on vette

That sounds a little expensive but I don't really shop for vettes. I'd take a vette though for sure.

20k aint bad considering the low milage, but it is no way a "GOOD" price. You can get a used C5 Z06 for less (with more miles of course) I say try to talk him down and if you can swing it, do it.

There ya go, a nice solid answer for these threads.
