For that price, i'd see if you can get a C6 Z06. The C5 Z06's are nice, and there are alot of parts out there. Just start form the high ground though. You can get a nice C6 Z06 (2006) for about 39k. There is about 5k of negotiation in there. So about 34k if you walk in from a strong position.

You are never going to get into a C6 Z06 for $34k. Maybe $44k. I looked and absolutely would've bought a C6 Z06 if it were in that price range. However, a C6 Z06 isn't that much better of a car than the C5 to warrant a $25-30k difference in price. Cam only and you're as fast as the C6, heads/cam and you're faster than the C6 with pretty comparable overall handling. You're basically paying a big pile of money for slightly nicer seats and stereo. Exterior styling is subjective, of course, but other than the headlights and door handles, I prefer the C5 lines to the C6.

Never own a Porsche without a warranty.

Porsche couldn't fix a friend's Boxster S under warranty (at least her second Boxster). They worked some sort of a deal and she's now driving a new Cayman S Sport. :thumbup:

Not interested in a Corvette, at any price. I don't have enough chest hair, and can't afford to buy any gold chains. ;)

And, please with the "chick car" BS. EVO magazine rates the Boxster as one of the best handling cars at any price.

After deeper thought, I don't think I could stomach the maintenance and repair bills on this car.

money would be better spent elsewhere.
