Rocking seat
As I keep looking for a C5, I'm curious about the rocking seat and how concerned I should be since it seems (from what I've read here) to be a fairly common situation. The 04 I looked at this weekend (and I'm no longer interested in for other reasons) has a very slight bit of movement in the drivers seat. Felt more like the seat back than the base, and in looking through service records on the car the seat back had been repaired once under warranty for movement.
My main question is this: how much movement is typical in these cars, and how big a red flag should it be as I consider what to buy?

A number of vendors carry the fix for the rocking seat problem and it is relatively inexpensive if you do the work yourself.
