Default Taking care of things...

Hi guys, I just got myself a 1999 C5 with 52,000 miles on it...The car passed the 50-point check-up at GM but I still need to know what I need to replace and focus my attention on now. Moreover, what are the most common things that will go wrong with car at this millage?

Thank you for any responses, I really want to take care of this baby!!!

Nothing in particular. Things seem to break at almost any mileage, or not. No pattern of things going at a certain point (of course, normal wear items like brake pads, etc. may need replacing).

I have had 3 C5's, a 1997, 2000, and now my 1999. I have not had any major issues exept for a clutch replacement in my 2000. I was out of warrenty but the GM dealer decided that it should not have happened and replaced it. I got lucky. Other then that no problems. Have fun. Kaley
