C5 @ Auction
I went to a government auction yesterday and they had a 2001 C5 with 51879 miles on it. It was a FRC hatchback, with heads up display, Bose sound, and was in fairly good condition. It had some minor scratces in the paint and some trim missing from the interior, but other than that it was nice. It went for $21,500.00, I thought that price was out of line for a car you can't test drive, what do you think?
Oh yea it was black on black, Automatic, and tires were in good shape.

That price is about market correct for that car but alot more than I would want to pay at a government auction. No deal there.

nor was it a hatchback. Yes, a coupe. This post would get more knowledgeable replies in C5 general or even C5 for sale. Not too many of us here follow the market for used C5s. I keep an eye on em, but still can't really say what is a fair price.
