Thanks for that information...My price range is limited so a newer one is out of the question for me. I'm looking at a 08 3LT convertible with 23K miles and select exhaust for 22,000, seems like a good deal to me but I know this stuff isn't easy to sell right now.

Just the Nav and radio display on the HUD. Your nav will be displayed in the head unit and voice of course will come through the speakers.

That's a very good deal. Have you checked the Carfax? I'm asking because I bought an 09 3LT Z51 Coupe last November with 42K for $25k drive out. I thought - and so did every one of my friends when they saw the car including the shop that did the mods on it in January - that I stole it! My Carfax was clean and showed that it had been serviced regularly.

Welcome to the C6 Forum where you can learn about the intricacies of this iteration, but get answers to queries to which our "band" of experts will respond quickly and efficiently. I'm sure you have noticed the subtle, but noticeable differences between your previous C5's and your recent purchase. I, too, moved from a C6, a ZO6, to a GS convertible. Aside from the style, which is subjective, I enjoy the upgrades in performance and overall road worthiness of the C6. With the help from the Forum, and a faithful digestion of the owner's manual, you should be in good shape to enjoy your ride for many years to come. Welcome aboard!
