Maintenance at 60k miles?
I am going to buy an 04 C5 later this week with 55k miles on it. What will need to be looked at when it hits 60k miles? How much should I expect the check up to cost?
I searched but all of the links I clicked on were from 2005 and didn't work anymore.
Thanks

I recently got all my belts and belt accessories replaced because they started to squeak around that mileage. I would also look into replacing the plugs and plug wires. If its an auto I would replace the tranny fluid too. That's what I did.

I found a manual for a 2001 and all it says for 60k miles is "replace air cleaner filter" and "inspect engine accessory drive belt"
Is it really that simple?
How much did replacing the belt stuff cost?

As you can see the maintenance schedule is not too demanding on this car
60k is uneventful.
FWIW my car has 40k miles on it. I changed my air filter at 30k and did the plugs and wires and the accessory belts recently. I'll go for transmission fluids (A4) and coolant at 50k. I trust the DIC on oil life but nowadays it hits the one year point before 0% life.
You can get Gatorback belts at Autozone for about $50 the pair. The OEM belts are way more expensive $100+.
