Default advice needed

I have a C5 that i just put up for sale and plan on buying a C6 after it sells. I'm looking at low mileage 2005-2008s. I have seen a few '05s with less than 10,000 miles an am wondering if there are any issues with the '05 being it's the first year for the C6. Thanks for the help

I own an 05 and happy with it.

In the end, buy the best car, with the options and color you want. Each model year has improvements and I would get the newest you can afford with the "Must Haves" that you want.

In my case I had to have a low mile (Under 30K miles) C6 with the following and found them in a 2005 for sale in NJ last year.
1. Convertible
2. 6 Speed
3. Colbalt Red interior
4. HUD

Good luck on your search!

2008 model would be better, if your wallet can cover it.
