IBFTL(eBay links are a no-no here by the way)................Nice looking car and seems to priced about right, but I would still expect to buy it for less from a dealer. The miles are not particularly low.......The accents to the sides and the wheels, while unique, are kind of

It looks pretty good except Im not real crazy about the center caps and the passenger side wheels looks like they have been curbed. I would look at it in person if possible and drive it.

I would only get it if they throw in some more extra body side molding.

I also have a logistical problem in that they are about 1800 miles away
so I can not go and see it very frustrating.

It's not a bad looking ride....but if I was you...I would be checking the forum buy/sell in the C5 for a ride from a fellow member who is moving onto something else....That way you would get more vehicle history, know it was probably better cared for and prob a few good mods done to it already

1800 miles isn't much ...I am driving 2635 miles from NJ to Edmonton with the 2000 White (sooooooo hot) MN6 coupe I just bought. If you are lucky like me, a wonderful forum member like Dave (CTSV OWNER) may be willing to check it out for you. Ask in the regional section to see if someone can help. It was invaluable in helping me make the decision to purchase. HTH and good luck.

I don't know if this is still the case. I've seen ebay being advertised on an OP post.

Those minor things are going to drive you crazy for that money... There are some good deals to be made here in Oklahoma City.

Fly down and drive one home... it will be an awesome drive.

You can find better, for less. I gave 19,600 last November for my 2000, and at that time it had 79,000 miles. This is almost one year later, and I suspect the value hasn't gone up.
