Beautiful car, picked up a yellow '02 myself last summer, and love it. Heading out for a drive on a nice summer day is one of my more enjoyable things to do. These C5Z's really seem like an ageless beauty.

Especially with just 11k miles. That car has been saved for you to enjoy, don't be afraid to drive it.

Looks like mine when I got it several years ago, still the 4x4 ride height! Make sure your replace the Valve springs if its not been done already, otherwise you have a good chance at a much bigger expense down the road....

Congrats, Yellow is the best!

Congrats. I was looking either yellow or black and ended up with a '02 Black/Black with 39k miles. Yours is not even broken in yet.
