25k miles = Service??
I am coming up on 25k miles on my 2001 C5 and was wondering if I should do any maintenance to the car such as belt replacement, coolant flush, brake fluid flush etc..Money is not really an issue, I just want to keep the car in excellent running condition. Any suggestions?? When is is necessary to replace the belts on the car??

I would just check the hoses and belts. Not much else needs to be done unless you are coming up on 4-5 years of ownership - then you might want to change the coolant.

At 3+ years, you probably are just 'checking' things. Certainly at 4 or 5 years, you'll want to do pre-emptive changes of belts, hoses, coolant, etc., just to feel secure. (At least that's what I plan to do.)
