............Huuuuuuuuummmmmm, those "LIFT IDEAS" (stacker) sound pretty good...........it is a CHUNK of CHANGE for a new car.  Darn, I'm havin' a rough go at making up my mind.  DeadConfused
 
I like the C5, but is it a better car than the C6.....more reliable?  So far, the C5's had a couple of "kinks", but basically it's a good car.  What are some of the "kinks" in the C6's?  The only thing I've heard is the top comes off while your driving down the freeway and I think that problem was solved for the 07's.  EmbarrassedWhat's so good about the 2008's??

[QUOTE=ranger3]Micki,
That's a chunk of change for the perceived peace of mind of a factory warranty. Especially given the list of things that you dislike about the C6. I'd rather buy a nice C2 driver and tuck some extra money away each month for a maintenance account. It would still be cheaper than the total payment on a C6.
Just my opinion.

There are plenty of drivers out there for 30K-45K. I am looking at one now around the 30K range...numbers correct but not matching. I don't care about the judging and shows. I want one to drive and enjoy. There are lots of them out there, just have to do the research.

You can get a great C3 for that kind of money, and it will increase instead of decrease in value. But you're the one that has to live with the choice.
I'm sure you will be happy with any of the above.
