Hello from Calgary Canada
Hey guys.
Boss took me for a ride in is Z51 convertible C6 last week and I needed a new pair of pants.
I am going on Saturday to look at a 1998 C5 Tan on Tan (not sure the actual name) with some after market headlamps and 90,000 miles.
Not bad for 14/15k.
Anyways signed up here to get info and hopefully be posting my new car soon.

Well, went to look at the C5 on the weekend 
I guess there is a reason it is 14k.
Body was in rough shape. Roof came off at some point and was cracked (didnt leak though). Body damage on front bumper, front left fender, rear bumper, front bumper didnt line up correctly. Ugly non moveable aftermarket headlights. Been in an accident in California and repaired.
Inside; oil gauge didnt work, seat was almost destroyed, AC didnt work, HVAC motor makes a ton of noise on low settings.
By the time I would be done with it I would have spent as much as a used base C6.
