What Years Are C5 Corvettes Worth Buying?

I’ve owned a couple Corvettes over the years, including a C6, and while they’re impressive, I have to say there’s something special about the C5’s character. It’s like the underdog of the Corvette lineage.

Haha, underdog for sure! I actually prefer the older styling of the C5. It has a classic sports car vibe that the newer models lack. How do you think that affects their resale value?

Resale value is tricky. I think the C5 models hold their value well given their performance vs. cost. The nostalgic feel plays a big role for collectors, especially the Z06 editions!

That’s true! I think if you take care of a C5, it could be a wise investment. What would you say are the key maintenance tips?
