Default "New" 1998 C5
1998 6 speed C5 with 9,600 miles. Four new run-flats. New hoses, belts, new coolant, etc.. Found it at Day Chevrolet in Monroeville PA. Still has the new car smell in it !! Light oak interior. I've had it 2 months and no issues with it.

Quite the find you made - very low miles for a ‘98. Best of luck with the car - hope you get many years of driving pleasure from it.
