I would not own a C5 (or a C6, for that matter) out of warranty, unless I was independently wealthy.

Some people have exceptional cars, but the general rule is that you will experience some very expensive problems.

I've got a 97 with 88K on it. Bought it used and a warranty. Had new tranny (A4) iinstalled and that paid for warranty alone. Car is driven everyday and runs like a beauty.
I would never by a used vette and not buy a warranty !!
