Sorry to see you leave the C5 side, but the C6 looks great. Enjoy the new ride and continued good health.

5 years, heck my last two cars I had 16 years each!! What changed?? I had a little scare with prostate cancer over the winter, all is fine now. But it was a game changer for me. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and I've never owned a convertible before!!

2006, 2 owners, talked with both and it was their baby!! A few mods and 29k on the clock. Looking forward to hit the Museum and Tail of the Dragon in a few weeks.

Thanks again to all those who take their time to help the same questions over and over and share their insight. I truly appreciated it.

Moving up the dial a bit, but I'll still be popping in to see my favorite car with pop up headlights!!

Although I didn’t have a health scare, I did finally “move up” after 33 years with my ‘84. Found an ‘06 in fantastic condition, 6-speed, 28500 on the odo and bit the bullet! Now to find someone looking for a 2-owner ‘84.....

A couple of comments here about people wanting to buy C5's unmodified. Not that surprised really, as the C5's are getting old (22-15 years), and new owners may well want them original for long term ownership, car shows and similar.

Should be a bit of a caution to anyone thinking of spending a lot of money on mods, unless they plan to keep the vehicle long term.
