Well you're buying a used sports car. It's probably been ran hard, and is probably out of warranty so whatever goes wrong in the future it will be out of your pocket. Those are basically the reasons why I didn't buy a used C6.

insurance on a vette will probably be way more... especially if you are younger.

Actually, when it comes to Vettes, you can do really well on a used C6. One of the few cars that can be fairly easilly found as a garage queen with low miles and meticulous care. They are typically very reliable and often come heavily loaded with options. That said, it's also nice to own new car and some of us like the looks of the new Camaro better.

Actually I was thinking about questions like this last n1ght. My answer is If you are not sure which one to buy don't buy anything. Wait till you are sure what YOU want. If you ask advice on here most of what you get is to buy whatever the person answering your question has.. You are the one laying out the big bucks, so I would just wait until you are very sure of what you want.

Actually because of the very low rate of incidents in Corvettes vs Camaros, insurance would probably be cheaper. At least it was when compared to 4th gens.

Alright, since you want a reminder :

the Camaro looks cooler, has 4 seats, fresh design, smother ride, better build quality (?), can be ordered to your exact specs ... thats all I can think of right now.
