I have gone through 3 tires already and they are $470 a pop and because they are low profile tires they will keep wearing out. No other issues as of yet.

Your opinion is needed on this please. Since i know you guys are all car guys it would help.

My options:

1.) trade the car in for something else. I was looking at 370z or maybe a infiniti or audi BUT it looks like I will have to come out of pocket to buy a new car because all these cars are worth more then what my corvette is. I am just annoyed because no matter what car I get 5 years from now, I will be lucky to get half of what its worth. so if i get a 30k car it will only be worth 15k. No matter what I will eventually have to finance a new car 5 years down the road or keep the one I have.

2.) Buy a car for less and pocket the cash. Not sure if I can get a crappier car though and abandon style.

Any thoughts please? I have until October when my warranty is up. I was told by the dealership NOT to buy another extended warranty for the corvette. Not worth it they said. Ill miss my car argg.
just traded my 04 vette off last oct.... put 130k miles on it... no real issues, GREAT gas mileage. if you do get one of the other car you mentioned you will be very bummed by the total lack of performance...I would say drive the vette for another 4-5 years because the value will stay around 15k easy
