Default C5's for under 10 grand...

Looks like the price barrier has been broken. First non wrecked one I've seen that low.

Love the guys asking for pictures.

Looks like there are quite a few folks trying to drive down the price of c5's in order to get into one cheap. Propoganda an age old method of creating paranoia to persuade the weak into submission.

Keep trying folk's well taken care of low mileage C5's are still premium.

Ha! What the hell else can you buy that even compares for twice that?

That upsets me so much that I guess I'll just have to take my '97 M6 for a spin to make myself feel better again. I don't care what it's worth to anyone else.
