keep in mind, first gen prices have already gone down and are skyrocketing now.. 4th gens are only gonna depreciate for a while. i can't see why this was even a question.

believe it or not, 4th gens are even more expensive to fix when they break... stupid computers
EDIT: but if you wanted to trade that 68 vert for a low mileage 2002, i know a nice z28 you can look at

if its your friend, he's pullin your chain. 20k means its been drivin a bit, and any LS1 owned bya nyone in the age range of 17-35 is going to get beat on once in a while. Plain and simple. He can tell you he never did, but trust me, you cant drive that kind of power and not want to have fun with it. It's been revved psst 2k, my money is on that its been reved well past 4 or 5k..
And having original tires on at 20k and 5 years old is a little scary if you ask me.

actually i see the car everyday, never leaves the garage. he wants to be a priest. its only been out drivin 3 or 4 times in the last 3 years. and all of those times are only because i begged and begged for him to take it out lol he doesnt want the car. it was a graduation present from his parents in 2004 and it has basically sat since then

so then from 2002-2004 it got 20k put on it, which means teh PREVIOUS owner drove it a lot more.. you gotta look at everything here. i'm not trying to nit pick with you, but personally I think it would be a giant mistake. Just ask anyone on here who sold their old cars 20 years ago and are now kicking themselves for it

yeah, if he hasnt touched it in 4 years, than it was a 10k mile per year in its first 2, thats averege now, it was high back then........and i believe you if you say your friend dosent beat on it, but if he didnt buy it from the dealer in 02, then god only knows what its been through........
bottom line, 68 is sick, 02 is sick, 02 is a dime a dozen though

The '68 will only go up in value as you invest into it.
