Default Need a C3 primer

Hello All,
Over from the C5 forum and love my '03 but I want to learn more about the C3s. Any good stickies that would provide a starting point or any other suggestions. Right now I want to get a lay of the land. Never going to be a collector but the idea of a decent weekend driver has an appeal. A 25th anniversary car would give some nice symmetry. Any way, just want to start learning what I can.

Good reading here. Covers all the C3 model years. Worth the price of a copy.

Michael Antonick also has a buyer's guide.

If You get a C3 You will have the best of both worlds. On top of books that are recommended I would check this forum regularly as You will see repeated problems pop up from time to time. The C3 class is probably the most vast with changes. Such as bumper cars,roadsters,big blocks,25 anniversary,to the ground affect cars in early 80's.Plus they have the big curving fenders like a woman. I guess thats why My wife labeled Mine the Mistress. LOL. When You get one make sure You post pics. I was looking for a C5 when I was helping My cousin find a C3 and ended up finding a C3 for Myself as well. Never got the C5 but figured if I ever get tired of the C3 I could sell it and get the C5 next. Good luck with Your search.
