Default drove the 98 coupe

first off thanks to all of you for your responses ,i truly appreciate them . i get very panicked with people [have two friends and see them ,they are husband and wife,about 6 times a year] so don't do a good job of looking at cars . it had 5,300 miles,interior showed zero wear,no scratches or stone chips,tires had cobwebs . the man took my wife for a ride and did 100mph in rush hour traffic weaving in and out of traffic [ he'd been drinking] . i then drove it about a mile and a half and found it nice other than tire noise . the $3000 in extras that are still in boxes he wanted an extra $1000 for , i understood they went with the car but was wrong . in any case we both liked it and found more comfortable than c4 we looked at some time back . suspect we will get one but not this car . the low miles are nice but reading some of your replies made me realize that buying it for the low miles would be wrong since i want something other than a black interior and although i like silver i really would prefer a different color . thanks again bc , peace

When you find the "right" car - you'll know it. You'll have this burning urge that you "gotta have it". Good luck in your search!

With a quarter million C5's on the road, there is exactly the right one for you out there.. when you find it, you will know... it will be the right color with the right options... the worse thing you could do is buy something you had to compromise.
The guy drove 100 mph, in traffic with your wife?????? he was drunk...???? maybe that was just God saying pass this one up....
There is a wealth of knowledge here on the forum and alot of resources to find the right car..
