Just wait a month or so, in January prices will drop even more, some dealers in my area dont even want them on the lot and will wholesale them out.

For about 5 bucks you can log onto the Galves site and see what the dealer will offer for a C5 of any mileage and year, also what the retail price would be, every dealer I went to used the galves book, those small white pocket sized books.

Sure you dont want a C4 with 20k on the clock.

Hi Jim,
Check on this site..Edmunds.com.
It'll allow you to "customize" the car you're looking at, and you'll get an idea what to offer. Check autotrader and be patient, there are a lot of used C5s out there right now.
I would look exclusively at triplebkack roadsters if I were you.
(I don't know whY I would say something like that)


Regards and good luck,

If you wait it out you will be able to get them for a little less. Then again they may be sold, but there are more C5's out there. Make sure you get the history of any car you intend to buy. You don't want to buy a problem car. You should get carfax and check out the histories of any car you are looking at an considering. Good luck and keep us updated.
