Good luck.

Price reference:
6 weeks ago I purchased a 2000 'vert for 30 K with:
23,400 one owner pampered miles (friend/neighbor)
Mag. Red/Black top/Grey sport buckets w/ leather trim
6 speed, Magnesium wheels, HUD, memory package, Real Time Dampening, Active Handling, telescoping/tilt wheel.
No damage/scratches etc. will need tires soon but other than that....
a PERFECT example of a C5 'vert.

Way too many miles for that price, do yourself a favor and keep looking. A far better deal and car will come along.

Default Price is way to high

I bought my 99 coupe with 2 roofs and minor mods with 18k miles for $22.5. Keep looking and you will find the right deal.

Just purchased a 98 Ragtop in February....after looking for the right C5 for almost a year...and I was looking for a 2000 to 2002 ..

The 98 had 21,150 miles on it... showroom condition..Z51 suspension
6 speed ..(both options were required) .. Plus 2000 sytle chromed wheels and a Borla Stainless exhaust ...and a blackwing air filter..

Carfax came up clean (but I did find a small paint run uder the drivers door
that could NOT have come from the Factory..no way..) so I suspect the
"hit" was minor and insurance was not involved ..

Paid $22,500 for the car from a dealer .....

Sold my BLACK 95 6 sp with both tops for 12K to get this Sebring Silver
over gray Baby... NO MORE BLACK....
