Probably the newest C5 owner here (almost)
Talked to John at Lomotion yesterday and he said he had an electron blue coming in that was primo and he'd love to see me in it. He's serviced it since new so I'm VERY comfortable with him telling me it's in perfect condition.
Stopped by this afternoon. He'd JUST gotten it in and they were just starting to go over it. It was on the lift with all the wheels off...
Long story short, it's mine... almost... he wants 3 days to detail and go over everything. I already insured it and it's just a matter of getting him a bank check. Should have it by the end of the week. Told the wife, she looses the garage early this year.... lol
'03 Electron Blue Coupe. LOADED. Standard with 30K miles for $25k - out the door, taxes included...
This is *NOT* the car but close, except mine has a black interior. Will put up pics when I get it.

1 of 926 coupes Electron Blue made that year out of a total production of around 35.5k I'm psyched.

Congrats!!
967 coupes, 531 converts and 1272 Z06 Total 2770 Electron Blue (21) made in '03--a lot less than my Anniversary Red one
Good luck with it

ok - have to ask a stupid question though....
Why do some have the raised accent strip down the side and some don't? (mine does)
Part of some option?

hey andre! Small world. Yeah, I've dealt with John for years. REALLY stand up guy. When he told me yesterday he had this one coming in and that it was a cream puff, I pretty much knew I bought it. I trust him 100%. No BS, but don't ever p*ss him off - it ain't pretty... lol I saw it once, not at me... phew... lol
If you tell him you were talking to 12 pack he'll know exactly who you mean... ;-)
I really don't know where/how he finds his cars, but I'm sure glad he does.

Congrats on your C5 - great color too (of course, I'm a bit biased).

I knew I was toast last night when he told me about the car... I've ALWAYS been a sucker for blue and really liked this shade a LOT.
I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas now... <tick tock, tick tock,,,>
I asked him to take his normal set of pictures that he'd take for his website but I won't be able to post 'em all. I'll figure out something though.
