Default New from Oklahoma

Greetings everyone, my name is Fernando I'm in the market for a C5 so I've been lurking the forums. I hope to purchase one by next spring to enjoy in the summer. If anyone has any good leads on a low mileage nearly stock electron blue coupe, send 'em my way!

Default Thanks for the welcome!

The C5 Im looking for is pretty much this exact combination, Electron Blue, coupe, black interior, manual, stock, and lowish miles. I know its really tough to gauge the value from just looking at pictures, but can any of you give me a little insight as to what a fair deal would be? Thanks in advance!
