CON-GRATS, Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...Yhe 98 C5 is a great car. Like me, you paid less and got a nice C5 for less money. Sure an 04 is newer, but most people can not tell the difference but the price for an awsome car is unreal. You will get looks you have never seen in your 98. Enjoy, and don't forget to wave...
