Default Looking at 07' with 82k Miles

Hi Guys,

Currently Own a 96' with 72k miles and I'm looking to add a C6 to sit next to it.

Is there anything in particular I need to look out for on this generation? It is a 6 speed manual. It looks like it's an 8 on condition but I am handy and love touch up and detailing.

Appreciate your replies.

BTW nice C4. You will love the C6. A common problem is the harmonic balancer. Check for wobble. It can cost $1000 to replace. I would go to any dealer and get a GMVIS report ( service and recall records performed at the dealer) you need the vin number. I would also get a carfax as well. If the price is right and you have the options you want. 3LT being the top package for 2007 . Navigation was an option with the 3 LT. That package has the HUD ( heads up display) which I love. It also has heated seats and mirrors and and many more options .
This forum will try to answer your questions. Good luck
( when you buy the car, fill out your profile)

like I say to every person buying a used car - pay your local trusted mechanic a half hour to put it up on the lift and give it a once over - they can generally tell you how much cash you will have to drop after buying the car...good luck!

Great looking C4!
I agree with everything said so far. In my mind, the VIS (free at any GM dealer), Carfax, autocheck, etc are tools to help you make an informed decision. In case you don't know, all the options are on a tag in the glove box. Hard to see, but they're there.
Post up where you are in Nebraska and where the car is...maybe a forum member is close.
In the meantime...

Well I got a different one: It's an 07' triple black automatic with the heads up display, heated seats, etc. 68k miles.

This one looked cleaner and appears to already have drilled rotors, painted calipers, exhaust and some other goodies.

It arrives Thursday via transport and I couldn't be more thrilled!

I'll post some pics of them both together

Looks good! Check the glove box for option codes. It may have Z51.
