Hi from Ohio! Black 1998 C5 is now in my garage!!!
It took a lifetime but I am finally the proud owner of a black 1998 coupe with 58,000 miles on it, picked it up this weekend and I couldn't be happier!!
When I got it the HVAC display wasn't working and because of the price the dealer didn't want to fix it for me... not a deal breaker. Got home and found this forum while doing a little research on a replacement HVAC. Found the thread about taking apart and re-soldering the unit.....Took mine apart and followed the directions, put it back together and it works great now!!
Been surfing the forums... so much great information here I'm kinda on an information overload!
Looking forward to being here!
See ya on the road!
