Do some research on the C6 forum. I know the 2005 year had problems but I don't know what particular problems they were. I just remember reading that's the one year you want to avoid.

I ran a wrecker for years. Sometimes they look worse than they are in the anxiety of the moment. If you didn't pop the air bags or get the radiator and air cond core then it may be fixable. May indeed total as far as insurance goes but still maybe fixable.
