Reliable sure...but hopefully you will not experience what I have in 5 months since I bought my 2000 vert...(30K miles btw)..fuel sending units replaced, air sensor, vacuum lines for a/c corroded from battery acid drip, active handling light coming on periodically, windshield wiper gremlins, lumbar module, and fuel gauge..I'm thinking I either offended my car somehow or I'm working out all the 9 year old bugs! Good luck with yours though..It truly is an amazing car to drive..wait til you find some good corners to grab!

My 98 has 97k on it and is my daily driver (even in winter) and it's been fantastic! It hasn't even had any repairs at all since early 2006! I couldn't be happier, this car truly runs like a new car.

Mine was very reliable IMO. It had some problems early on (common issues with the C5), but in the last four years I owned it, I don't recall having to take it in for any repairs.

03 and 04 are the best of the bunch....................zero issues with an 03 with 30k miles...........in fact, one of the most impressive cars I have driven.........very compelling and engaging vehicle. I enjoyed being suprised coming out of a BMW and owning a Lexus...............good car.
