Default c5 trade

Ill be joining you guys on the forum, today i traded my 95
coupe {a toy} and my chevrolet malibu even up
for an 03 coupe with 18000 miles. It will be my daily driver,
I am retired and only do about 10000 miles per year.
What a difference from the c4. I love it, its a red coupe and has
been babied. Look forward to talking with you c5 guys. The car was
found at an audi dealer here in roswell georgia.

Congrats on the upgrade. If you get a chance, check out a C-6 as well. If you are ever out this way, feel free to come by and you can try it out. I've got both the C-5('99) and C-6('07). Both are quite a bit different and yet similar in a lot of ways. In my opinion, the C-5 rides nicer and of course its got more leg room. The C-6 has more get up and go, more bells and whistles and sharper lines.
