Maintenance on C5's
Looking for a used C5 98-01, with around 50k miles. Most say they have just changed the oil. How about tranny, anti freeze etc?? What should I look for when buying a used C5? 
Thanks in advance, Gene

The following sticky thread at the top of C5 General contains some good info on things to look for. Good luck finding the right C5.

Here's another pretty complete checklist that you can even print out when you find a car that you are interested in....

At 50,000 not much is needed to be done yet. There is plenty of life left at that mileage, it's barely broken in. My '98 had 82,000 miles at trade-in with very little maintenance.

I replaced bets and flushed the radiator at 55k. The radiator flush was for peace of mind, and the belts were because they started to make a bit of noise on cold days.
There isn't much maintenance required on these fantastic machines.
