Check it over and make sure it hasnt been wrecked and has a clean title. read on the forum on how to pull up the codes, it's easy. good luck. Sounds like a good deal

The C5 makes an excellent daily driver. I tend to get anywhere from 20-31 mpg. It all depends on the way I am driving to be honest and the amount of traffic. While on highway trips I can easily get 31mpg though. When I tell my friends about the mileage they are pretty much shocked. It is hard to believe that you are driving in a sports car which can get up and go because the drive is so comfortable.
