New C5 Owner

Greetings! I am excited to switch over. I just purchased a C5 last night. It is a 2000 torch red vert with black top and interior. Has 30k miles and is in perfect condition with HUD and most all options. I picked it up for 26k and I feel like I got a great deal. I guess I will need to change my log in name.

Welcome to C5 ownership - overall you'll find that the C5 is a quantum leap over the C4 (not to 'dis that generation...). Everything you loved about your C4 is improved on the C5.

Here's a link to a sticky at the top of the page that will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly about the C5 -
