I just purchased a 2004 coup with 11414 miles. Color is Charcoal.
I had a C-4 for 22 years & decided to move up.
Just wanted to say hello.

Hello and congratulations on your C5. Sounds like a great, low mileage Vette.
Like you, we had a C4 (1986) for many, many years. Always enjoyed the car and it was very dependable but we really enjoy our C5 now. So much easier to get power out of the LS engine, too!

Welcome to C5 ownership. I think you’ll find the C5 is a much more complete platform than the C4 - at least I did after having four C4s.

You will love your C5. I have both and there is a big difference in the platforms. Congrats on your purchase!
