Default Good-bye c5
Closed yesterday on a 2013 coupe with 20k miles. Traded my 2003
with 39K miles. Cost me 18K but I love the C6. A different animal than the C5. So it is good-bye to you guys and gals, thanks for the all the wisdom over the past 5 years. The new one is the base coupe crystal red tintcoat. Quite a bit more pop than the C5. Best of luck to all of you.
