I have an '03 C5 and found a dirt cheap '89 C4 for sale. It will need some work but seriously thinking about it. How many C5 owners have a C4 or C3 also?

This '89 that I'm looking is going to need some work, are finding it easy to get parts for these? Being an older Vette are the parts priced fairly?

Have a 99 coupe, 02 vert and 76 and before the vert my husband had an 84 coupe. He didn't have any problems finding parts for his C4 at all. I did buy quite a bit of stuff from Wilcox---good prices and not alot of wait time or bs when I wanted anything. We would still have the C4 but after I got my C5---I seriously did not like the way the C4 handled. It seemed to me that the C5 was a much better car so I convinced him to get a C5---not like I had to break his arm or anything---but it did have alot of sentimental value to it. We built it together and 1984 was the year I graduated and we bought it when he was 50 which was his goal for his first vette---so it was a hard decision to get rid of it but we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. The 76 is being rebuilt for our daughters Senior project. THAT is hard to find parts for but once it is done she will get my 99 and I will be looking to find another project for myself.

Well being that I was sooooo winded---sorry---the C4 is not hard to find parts for at all. Good luck with your choice :)
