That color just doesn't do it for me. However, it is much better in person than when looking at photos. If it wasn't so rare, I bet many folks wouldn't give it a second look.

C5's are crummy investments, but the Aztec Gold cars are probably the exception. Should hold value well. But $45K is high.

Does anyone on the forum own a Navy Blue 98?
