There are a lot of good C5s out there & some can be had at very reasonable prices. But be sure to shop seriously even though, if you're like most of us, you are buying emotionally. Don't fall in love with it until you ar certain it is a clean vehicle, no flood adamge etc. Also, from what I have read & heard, the '97 is best left behind, too many first year gremlins.

Would like some input as to any quirks with these years , which is a good yr? I have seen some nice mooking 99's in local ads (Phoenix area) BTW, this is a nice site and I'l be back often...

I fought the feeling of buying a C5 for 1 1/2 years and when the C6's came out and the C5 values were taking a nose dive, I couldn't take it anymore. I was actually a hair's breath away (whatever that is) of hopping on a plane to Atlanta and looking at a '99 with only 30K miles on it. Got on the internet one more time before booking my flight and found this 2000 C5 with 30K miles on it and only 40 miles from my house and this is what I bought last Monday....the only thing I know of that I caution you on is I heard the '99 steering columns lock up when the battery is disengaged...that's why I bought a 2000 instead.
