I've had people tell me I'd need $15-20k to get a good '02
The for sale still here would have me believing that too, why is this such a lower price?

Dealers are gong to try and milk you for every cent they can get.
Most private sellers on the other hand know what the car is actually worth
and will work with a prospective buyer.

I'd really love a blue '02 C5, for $10-12k what should I expect the mileage to be for that price?

For a stock C5, I would say 75-100k miles in very good condition.

Keep in mind things like HUD, adjustable shocks, and other options add to the value.
