2025 C5 of the Year Finalist - Modified
2024 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I would consider that highly priced in the current market for an auto and the miles.
A good deal would be 14k-16k depending on condition.
Same thing to consider with all of them. 04's have issues with the fuel tanks so any wetness or smell of gas would be a red flag. Check harmonic balancer and go through onboard diag to check for faults.

Check the Sticky threads for items to look at and have it inspected by a tech familiar with the C5. If it all checks out and you can get it at a lower price, then go for it.

Yep, consider reading the sticky threads at the top of this forum. It has at least the spoiler added. I would want to make sure I knew EVERYTHING that is aftermarket on the car before I bought it.

It's not an unreasonable asking price, I'm sure there is widdle it down room.

Price isn't unreasonable. Just depends on how well it was taken care of.
harmonic balancer replaced?
count on a flush of all fluids
Test the battery
Clean the radiator / condenser
clean the two udders under the windshield
the HVAC illumination can go dim or out
just check everything for proper working order

I would need to see more of the car but It is high.
If you are Vermilion Oh check out this in N Canton. Lower miles and in prime condition. They deal in high quality cars not junk.
