Looking for a C5 Soon
Hello everybody. I re-introduced myself in the new member section. I finally got a real job and will be graduating with my masters degree and found a job in Newport Beach.
I've been wanting a C5 for about ten years now and finally will probably be in the market in the next couple months. My dad is on this forum as well (TIKTPLZ) and he has a new Grand Sport. But anyways, I really want a C5, maybe a Z06, manual, always wanted yellow but keeping my eye out for anything. I think I'd like to stay in that price range of 17-22k when I'm ready.
Anyone know of any dealers/places to look in Orange County, Calfornia?
Thanks,
Josh

Congratulations on the new job!! You should not have any problem finding a good one for that money. Take you're time. It's a buyers market.
