New to me 02 C5 Vert
Hey Guy's thought I would introduce myself and show you my car. It is a 02 C5 Vert that I purchased in July with 16,000 miles. This thing is loaded with Z51 package,heads up and just about everything that was offered in this year I think. It was completely bone stock when I bought it down to the original tires. Was a two owner car that I don't think ever seen rain. I think I got a pretty good price on it at $16,000. Any way happy to be here
Thank you
Brian (Springfield Mo)

Great buy! I Need to say ditto in the new tires idea. 17 year old run flats with 16k on them have to be DONE.

Ditto on the new tires. Get them right away for a big improvement in feel, noise and safety.
You got a beauty. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Thanks guy's and yes new tires will be first thing she get's this spring! I'm sure I wont drive it much in this nasty Missouri winter weather. I am a mechanic by trade and have my own shop so I have already did all the things to get it up in shape. It actually had a pretty good leak at the upper oil pan I guess from sitting and not being driven. I also went ahead and installed a new balancer, flushed brake fluid, coolant, changed diff and trans fluid ect..... I will be installing a C6 shifter and some sort of cat back (There are a lot of different ones to choose from). Thanks for the compliments.
