Default 2004 C5 purchase

Need your opinion.

Considering the purchase of a 2004 coupe with about 51,000 miles on it; not at a chevy dealership. I know I have to run the codes and can ignore any with an H after them; correct? LeMans blue with creme colored interior.

It's an auto with heads up display and active handling; very clean including the car fax report.

They will sell for $19, 300, no warranty. I haven't driven it yet because of the weather the last few days in Pgh, PA.

My local Chevy dealer close to my home won't sell me an extended warranty package without examining the car first.

Any weaknesses in this model year with an auto???

Thank you!!!!

I bought my 04 Coupe summer of 2010 with 42K miles and auto. It now has 45K and I've never had the first problem with it as it's stock so no one's screwed it up.
