9/9/2017= the big day!
i am going to look at a C5 Corvette and more then likely I will be coming home with it. I have battled the decision between buying new and buying used and it all came down to this forum helping me make the decision. maybe after I retire I may go for new but right now, used it is..
it is a 2001, pewter in color, black leather interior, and the 6 speed.. I will get pictures up as soon as I get home tomorrow, if I decide this is the one..
stay tuned!

Best of luck to you in making the decision. The C5 is a great car - hope this is the one for you.

Best of luck to ya. Get the deal done and get home for a full day of football. Well, never mind. If you get the car you'll be out driving it or working on it or something Vette related I'm sure.

1st repair I make will be the drivers side window regulator. while I wait for the parts to come in I will check for the lcm5 and If I don't have it i will be installing that. i will also be changing some fluids starting with the oil 1st.
