General Question About Selling

I have a mint 1997 C-5 with 18,000 miles on it. It has always been dealer maintained. I take such good care of it that I even bought GM silicone and conditioned all the rubber seals by bare hand at...

Mpg

I get around 13 - 14 mpg in the city. It is so crowded here I no longer take my car on the highway because of debris, so I drive it really hard around town if circumstances allow me to. When the car...

Thanks.

Seems like the best idea. My cousin recharges his A/C this way (BMW) so I figured it would work. Thanks for answering. The car has only been dealer serviced so I guess I will end up reluctantly...

A/c

I need help. I have a '97 torch red that I bought brand new on March 31, 1997, one of the first C5 Vettes in South Florida. It is mint, I even bought a townhouse with a garage for it in 1997. The car...

I doubt it. The disparity between premium and regular is now minimal and my Corvette gets only slightly less mpg than my Beetle. Of course there are the times the pedal goes to the floor but that is...

Re: Just got a check engine light. (MikeV)

Try tightening the gas cap with extra force (don't let the cap "click"), but push down and turn hard. After a couple of start-ups the problem went away on my 1997 (15,000 miles). A simple thing like...

Re: Rocking Driver's Seat. Fix? (Matty_G)

It is a manufacturing defect. I have a '97 but it's under an extended GM warranty. The car only has 14,000 miles on it. The entire motor and sliding track was replaced. It is an annoying problem...

Re: How many coupes with "warped" rear window? (Chuck Broten)

That's the shape of the car. The tops are warped too! Must be for aerodynamics at very high speeds. I remember a couple of kids asked to look at my car one day and they said the same thing about my...

Re: Just bought a 2002 ws6 transam as a daily driver! (vic451)

I was always a Firebird fan. I purchased a red, 1993 Formula, trading in a 1988 black Formula 350. Ordered it from the factory and it was one of the first re-styled Birds on the road. I took it on...

Re: Getting P0461 code and the gas gage drops to empty (Als98C5)

I have an early '97 with 14,000 miles on it. Same thing happened to me. Under the extended warranty, the dealer changed the "sending unit" and I haven't had the problem again.

Re: Coupe Top Leaking (C54FUN)

I am convinced that any time a top comes off, there is a leak associated with it. I had a Camaro 2-28 ('94) and now my '97 C5 sometimes leaks in exactly the same spot, where the top and the windshild...
