Default Bit the bullet today....

Well, I picked up a 2005 black C6 with all the goodies today.

14K miles, $39000 plus tax, etc. Overall am very pleased.

As much as I love the C5, when I get into the C6, it's how I felt when I jumped from C4 to C5.

At any rate, I will put up my C5 for sale, and see how that goes.

First chance I will take pics; I debated about a 05 for the price, but the low miles, showroom condition, and just about every option swayed me.
