got one (for a C5) I would sell for 750.00 picked-up with leather top protective cover and extra passenger side weatherstripping. Would rate next to brand new as only on car for two weeks, now just sitting in the closet. Its to hot in South Florida and forgot to install it during the winter.

Try the C5 Parts for Sale section - there are usually quite a few for sale there. Otherwise, try Gene at the KarShop.

I feel it is a fair price given its price when new 1100.00 and its lack on any real use. Also throwing in the cover (50.00), and there is no need to order it await shipping (extra surcharges for size), nor damage from potential shippers. Come on down and check it out, its yours if you want it.

Check me out on Ebay (killrwheels) and you can see that I pay and sell with great care and quality. I have also sold 2 sets of wheels on this very site for over 800.00 per set without complaint. I have even given away several items for free to members, sorry cannot do that with the roof.
