It is a '98 Z51 with two previous owners and 145K on the clock. I looked at number of newer, lower mileage C5s in the $12,000-$14,00 that weren't in as good of a condition. Picked this one up for $9,300. I am sure it will need a little reconditioning, but I found that the more expensive cars need reconditioning too. At the price I paid, I still have plenty of room in the budget for whatever it needs. Plus, with it not being a budget stretcher, I have mod money available.

Looks like a great deal for you. Congrats on giving a home to the lowly 97-2000 cars. I've had great luck with my 99.
