Hi,

I currently have a 2004 TVR Cerbera Speed 6 but I'm thinking about something American as my next bucket list car & the Corvette C5 or C6 convertible appeals to me.
Looking at the market you seem to be able to get a late C5 or early C6 for between £ 20 - £ 25k, is it worth paying a bit extra for the C6 ( I do quite like the pop-up headlights on the C5 )
Also how are prices going with these models, are they likely to fall further or are they stable / rising ?
The car will be used for mainly Summer weekend drives & trips away ( around 2 - 3k miles / year ) & it's easier to justify the expense if there's a chance I could at least get my money back in 2 or 3 years time.
Finally what is the boot ( trunk ) like on the convertible ? Ideally I need something you can fit a few weekend bags in but we're going on a 2 week trip from the Uk through Switzerland, Italy & South of France in the Summer & the Cerbera is ideal for this as it has quite a large boot, would the Corvette Convertible be suitable or should I wait until we've done this trip ?
Many thanks for your time.
Phil.
