2004 Corvette Recent Buy
Hi All!
It's been a while, but I'm back in the 'vette family, this time with a C5!
I was hoping for opinions as to whether I made a decent buy, I just won this auction and I'm expecting delivery in a week or so:

Thanks in advance for any comments/advice!

I saw this C5 when it was first listed, looks really sweet, I also like those two-tone seat covers!
Like I say to all new C5 owners, the best thing you can do when buying the car is to change every fluid (oil, brake, coolant, steering, diff, drop trans pan and filter) and easy to replace suspension wear components (tie rod ends, end links.).
Best of luck with it!

Just from the pics, the car looks to be in great shape. Congrats on the purchase. Unless you know the maintenance history, I would have things checked over by a good Corvette mechanic. Changing the fluids would be high on my list of things to do.
