Finally bought a C5
Just bought a 1997 Silver Coupe Auto with 103,000 miles with chrome Y2Ks and borla exhaust. I paid 10,000 for it with a Set a wagon wheels and new front tires. I put 300 miles on it since yesterday and love it. Has a few small problems windshield wipers, cruise control, and climate control display don't work. Going to have all the grounds and fuses checked first. I'm posting from my phone but pictures are going up in a few.

Congrats on getting the car. There are a number of threads here on the climate control display. Do a search and see if you can come up with a hit. If not and you want to review some files, PM me your e-mail address and I can send you some info.

Thanks the doors are staying, you dont have to open them upwards to get in and out. you would never know if you were just passing by.
it took 15 years for C5s to reach 1/5 of their intial price. Alot of sellers with higher miles still want 12-15 grand.
