Default C5 Thanks

Enjoyed my time on the C5 forum. As luck would have it I stumbled on to a deal on a 2005 C6. Now I have to start all over with a new generation. Bye for now.

Best of luck with your C6 and just because you do not have a C5 anymore doesn't mean you have to leave this section. I'm sure you could help other C5 owners with their cars.

I came into the forum wanting a C6, but with the general market right now and the fact that I found a great deal on a car that still checks most of the boxes for me, I ended up with a C5 now instead of a C6 later. Actually my car checks pretty much every box for me except for being a C6, plus it has a C6 engine. Enjoy your new ride!
