You could sell your C5 and buy another one next year instead of doing the maintenance.
I actually thought about it but I have at least 5K in stupid mods on my C5 so it doesn’t really add up. I’d be better off just keeping and finding a :dillerman: to send to the South of France of I was that committed to :poorvette:

Or just buy it back from whoever has it and do even more maintenance. :doomed:
I think I’ve seen that one before! Can’t quite put my finger on who it was…

It almost does... it has a :fullretard: warm air intake.

It looks to have some sort of aftermarket exhaust too... curious about that.

Color checks out ... year does too. And it is somewhat of an interesting spec... nav + moonroof+led but no heated seats... overall I really like the spec actually
Florida spec.

Carfax checks out. :lol:
:mindblown: it was serviced at the same :dillerman: as my mini !!!

I do like that one overall, seems to be the best in the Carolinas. It still feels like a lot of dollars for the miles, I fear this will turn into an $8k car really quickly.

Yea but that not that bad... you will lose close to 4K in taxes on the hype R alone...

Sales tax on cars is only 3% here actually, but they slap us with tough annual taxes.

I don’t really recall the rates but it comes out to like $200 per $10k of value for property tax/registration. Plus $30 for annual inspections, more if you have stuff like aftermarket :tints:

Well that’s still not insignificant then… 15k car comes out a bit cheaper if :scrooge: is the game

I posted this car before, I think. Well, someone bought it and it’s now up on BaT.
No “slick top” might as well be an Uber pool trashmobile.








But in all seriousness it’s really nice.
