New C5Z owner

Just picked up my first C5Z today. 37k miles, immaculate. Drove like an old woman the whole way home.

That is not a bad price for a very clean car with 39K. In the right price range with under 40K.

Thanks everyone. I LOVE the car, except I got in it yesterday to leave work, "Service Column Lock" message appeared. After some research, called the dealership and had them run the VIN. They say the recall has already been done on the car. Did a little more research and poking around, decided the change out the 4 yr old Walmart battery with a new MT-75 interstate, message immediately cleared and the column unlocked. Yesss 10yrs as a tech//service writer paid off.
