2. Trade it for a 2013 1LT vert and either borrow $12K or cash in part of my 401K.
3. Trade it plus $1500 and buy a 2001 Vette roadster with 70K miles.
What would you do?

Well my thoughts:
If you have to cash in 401k funds to get it, I vote no.
If you can swing the loan, keep in mind the Camaro convertible is awesome and has a power top.
The C5 is a great car. Manual top though. And 70,000 should be ok, but that's starting to need some things IMO.
Can you get a C6 convertibel in between the two for price?
I can understand the convertible need. I am missing my Sky in a BIG way right now with the weather so nice.
But for your 3 choices, I'd have to see the C5 and drive it and make sure it was super solid. If it is, I might go that route only because I'm thinking of a C5/C6 convertible soon.
