Pulled the trigger on a 2002 C5
Been looking to by a C5 Coupe for over a month now, probably looked at and drove 15 to 20 cars and finally found my car yesterday, it ended up being a couple grand over my budget but it was way to nice pass up.
The car is mint both inside and out, from the paint, to the wheels to the interior....all like new, amazing for a 15 year old car with 49K miles.
It looks like the car had pretty much every option available on it, according to the window sticker the options were over $8K with a total price of $50K.
The previous owner upgraded the exhaust (not sure exactly what it is but definetly not stock) plus added several thousand dollars in engine chrome, covers, etc.
I've included a couple pics of the interior, is this a stock interior or did he change it....can't seem to find any pics online showing this interior.
I also own a 1930 Ford Model A and am very active on the Model A forums, they have helped me a ton....looking forward to tapping into the knowledge base here.

Very nice looking C5 you found. Lots of desirable mods done to it too.
Welcome to the forum and spend some time in the various C5 sections - plenty of good info over there about the cars.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Patience is something many don't have when shopping, it looks like it paid off for you! 
Looks like the exhaust tips have a name on them. If you can post some pics and we can help sort what system you have.
See you in the C5 section!!
