Re: '99 Common Defects (Kenny94945)
Would any body here recommended having a garage look at the C5 before buying used?
OR
since I'm aware of a lot of the major problem, just keep an eye out for the major problems before buying.

Re: '99 Common Defects (Corvector)
Hi, 99 with 47000 on it. Love the car. I baught it brand new. Here are some problems ive had.
1) rear end leak, fixed under warranty
2) wheel sensor, fixed under warranty
3) Steering wheel locked up had to be towed, fixed under warranty.
Other than these problems the car is fantastic. I drive it all the time except in snow. Cost to much money for a piece of garage furniture.
Good luck in your search.

I had a 99 6 speed and it was a great car. Had it to the shop 1x for the dredded differential leak common with the six speed. Had it for two years before I purchased the 02-Z06.

A part from the automatic and the 6 speed are there any 5 speeds out there?
Either a M4 (auto) or a MN6 (6 speed) are all that are available.
And the Differencial leak, is that mainly common on 6 speeds? what about automatics?
6 speeds.
