Tks again everyone for the feedback. Based on everyone's comments and suggestions I will stay in the hunt for a lower mileage car. With a 180k on the clock I was concerned what I would run into wrt replacement parts/repairs etc.

Hi Guys. F/u on my last post re hunting for a c6. I have found a 2008 listed for sale for $23,995.00 at a motorsport shop. It is a cdn car, clean carfax, base model (6 spd), and is in vg shape. The kicker is that it has 179k on it. Although I would like to get into an 08 (LS3, wider body etc.,)...

Tks for the responses everyone. I guess it comes down to budget and the best bang for your buck. I think, based on all the info I am leaning towards finding a good deal on a 6sp 05. Cheers

Hi Folks. I am in the market for a C6. There are some good deals out there right now on 05's. However having read a lot of very helpful comments on your forum it seems the 06 is a better choice as GM fixed a number of issues on the 05 and made some improvements (notably 6spd vs 4spd trannie)...

Tks again to all of you for your very interesting experiences with this issue. It seems it's a bit of a hit and miss issue on these cars as some of you have never experienced this problem. However I do have a C-TEK charger. Hopefully my C6 (when I buy it) will not be plagued by this problem.

Tks everyone. Your comments were helpful and most appreciated.

C5/C6 Electrical Tks for the reply. Any thoughts on what areas to check for the power drain?

Hi everyone. I recently sold my 02 C5. In 4 yrs I got thru 3 batteries. I was told these particular models were notorious for battery failure if the car sits for greater than a couple of weeks or so. It appears there is a considerable "parasitic drain" on the battery due to the fact that there...

Thanks everyone. Very helpful. Paul, based upon Manny's suggestion I had all the grounds checked and cleaned last year. It appears that this electrical issue is a small price to pay for owning these great cars.

Just had the dealer install my second battery in less than a year. Dealer told me that you cannot let these cars (02 coupe) sit for more than 2 to 3 weeks or the battery dies. I thought It could be an electical fault (short somewhere or charging system malfunctioning). But after having kept the...

Thanks to everyone for their very helpful comments. I think the $15 - $18k range seems to be the concensus out there. Maybe I will list it for $16,900 and take a very close offer. The car is in great shape.

hi folks. I have been thinking of moving up to a 2006 C6. I am undecided as yet to make the switch as I love my C5. I am wondering what my car is worth either on a trade-in or private sale. Here are the details. 2002 coupe Polished rims with new michelin runflats Torch red with red leather...

Thanks Keith. I guess I could drop mine to 30 from 34. Perhaps I am a little too high

I have just purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Run Flats for my 02. I have heard from a range of folks (including the Chev dealer) what the pressures s/b F & R. Anywhere from 30 psi to 36 psi all round. would appreciate hearing from anyone running on these tires what the correct pressures s/b...

Hi everyone. I have an 02 coupe. Havings intermittant problems with turn signal (L&R). Somedays they work, other days they don't. Checked fuses and all are ok. I was told it could be the "flasher". Any ideas would be helpful. Ron
