Interestingly this guy who owns a small corvette dealer in SC made me a soft offer of $12.5k for the C5 and said he'd list for $15.9k and get around $15k. According to him the 50AE actually commands a premium of about $2k. :notsure:
Silverhairs and olds are all about special limited anniversary editions. Gives them a slight dick advantage in the hooter's lot.

I've seen people specifically looking for 50AE cars...so I believe they do command a premium. Doubt it's $2k, but maybe.

Seems in line, but you can’t get that nice of an s2k for 12.5

I wouldn't want one with it.... I can see why others wouldn't either. At a dealership at least to me it would immediately create the impression that the car was ragged on.

Fair points.... not really looking to sell it to the guy, I think I'm going to go for the S2000 deal unless the dudebro bails. Even if I have it for a year, then :plac: , seems like a win, I'll probably end up with a little more for it than the C5 and I've always wanted to own one. Some of the S2Ki bros have suggested certain orgs that will allow one on track, so it's looking like I can still get out there with carefully selected events.

Him to text me back. Hopefully he doesn't flake now. He was a very legit guy though, we spent two hours looking at the cars, driving them, and chatting. He also lives in the same subdivision as me.

Time will tell.

Thoughts and prayers mang... I think this would be a neat deal. You will miss a lot of things about the Wette but the S2K will reward you in other ways.
