I bought a Navy Blue convertible last year. It has the Light Oak top and interior. I never had any burning desire to buy a C5 since I have a number of other preformance cars. I had worked on number of C5's for friends doing maintenance and diagnostics on electrical issues and had driven several. However my friend a car dealer said his banker wanted to sell his C5 to get a car for his daughter. I looked at it, took it home and checked it out and bought it. I only bought it because of the color combination. The wife had been telling me to sell my worn out Crown Victoria and get a nice relaiable car. So I did. She now tells her friends to be more specific when you give your husband instructions. It was in mint condition, garage kept, and looks good in my garage. I like the fact that it actually can appear to be 4 different colors under different light conditions. Metallic blue, metallic purple, dark solid blue, and solid black.

I didn't really care for oak interior but it's growing on me. Wish it had sport seats and fog lights. This one has manual climate control too. Only options were z51, wheels and Trans.
