Hello.

Through a strange twist of fate I've picked up my inlaws 2000 C5 in Navy Blue.

It runs good, but has 93K on the clock, ABS light is on, Traction Control light is on, A/C wasn't working (fixed it be using a re-charge can), and needs 100K services because it's been neglected.

I'll be doing a lot of searching on what is best to get this car back into the shape it deserves to be in.

Thanks in advance and I'll put up some pictures once it's cleaned and waxed.

Welcome to the forum. 93K is not that many miles for a 13 year old car. Good luck with your indicator lights.
