That sounds like an unbelievable deal to me. I've been searching for a C5 convertible and most have been between $15,000 and $21,000 here in NJ. I'm actually going to look at an '02 convertible today that has less than 25,000 miles on it. The guy is asking $19,900. I can't believe you can get that one for $14,000. If the car looks good and everything works as it should, then I would grab it immediately! Best of luck to you!

Old tires are not a red flag, just a maintenance item. Convertibles are spectacular. Unless the paint job is ruined or the car needs a new clutch or transmission right away, you have a winner. Get it checked out by a mechanic or a professional inspector (there are such services) and grab that bad boy.

Maybe he has orangutan arms?

Sounds way too cheap for such low mileage....

Love my 04 stick vert CE! It draws the attention, and the fun factor....well...…..

If this car checks out on the major points contained in this thread by your brethren and sisters, you should be all over that car. If you are not, please PM me. I will be all over it!

Q: What is better than one C5 vert in the garage?
A: Two!
