Before I purchase my c5 vert, I was shopping for cars like that one. I just could not justify spending that kind of $$$$. They all seemed to be daily drivers with high mileage. That car is not to bad for milage, but the price will be over $33K. When I saw the prices on the garage queens c5's, I was sold and purchased a 2000 triple black convertible on ebay from a private seller.
Good luck |
Other than the ebay ad mentioning the word Corvette - how is it related to a C5? I was expecting an old CTS-V with a LS6 and T56... much better beater IMHO. They can be picked up relatively cheap now - if only they had a better diff.

wow, some interesting problems....and I bet parts are getting hard to find already...I wonder how many were made? I should google it.:D
If you looked up in the tech section of 5 Tech, not many people would buy a C5, or any vette for that matter. I'm not saying buy one, but I'm not saying don't buy one either. It's the same advice I just gave to a potential vette owner. The one issue with a Northstar is IF you have a problem, it's expensive to fix. |
Does it come with an old guy hat?? Stogey to be polite and WAY over priced for one fugley problem ridden car, in my humble opinion. The seller says it gets more attention that his Corvettes...ya right?!? Bet he never owned a Corvette or he is selling to buy one!! Would rather drive a Toyota.

I can't get why newer cars all look like chopped streetrods. Wth is it with the 4' high doors, and no windows? Industry wide, it's like everyone has this fettish with chopping the tops, but at the same time, they make the car taller?
Personally, I'm just not into the look of this... jmho. I think I'd be in a Buick first. That's why I love my sweet LOW c5. Feels terrific driving it, and great visibility too. Anywho, back on topic I've always like the XLR ever since I saw them. I'd much rather own a corvette, but they're not a bad alternative. |
I have always liked them. I would have it!

The Northstar engines do have issues with over heating. They are very complex engines that require a lot of coolant and water. I have a '99 Eldorado and had the motor rebuilt when my head gasket blew. I can find the contact info for the guy who did it if anyone wants it. He has his own gasket and seating bolts in a kit. The motor was done 4 years ago and it runs like a dream!!
Thanks |
I would buy another Corvette.
