I forgot to get into why I chose to buy a C5. I’ll be sure to make a separate video on this topic. 🤙

I was going to buy a C6 Z06 and then my car crossed my path. I couldn't pass it up. Now it has 400 to the tire and passes just about everything!

I was looking at a C6 GS LS3. Ultimately went with a C5 tho. But yeah im going to be making big power in the C5 eventually. 😂

Beautiful car! Nice to see one that’s taken care of. Save the manuals!

@@yisyerry I made my cold air. Recipe: buy a used license plate filler, trim out the center and epoxy in stainless wire mesh. Spray flat black. Use a Vararam bridge. Install K&N (or round filter of your choice, go as long as you can.) I added aero “fences” also and made an open top box for the filter to sit in, isolating the filter from the engine compartment with the hood closed. I used clear Lexan sheet and trimmed it to bend out towards the fenders and gather all the air from the license plate area to “funnel” it into the filter. Kinda hard to describe without a pic. I spent roughly $120 including the filter in all and it makes a big difference when the weather cools down and the speeds go up, I promise! 😎

i was thinking of trying to get one, but I'll love to watch to see if I really wanna get one I'll stay tuned 👍

Great choice. I own a 6 speed Torch Red '99 Coupe, with the same interior as yours. Just hit 46k miles. The anti-venom mod worked perfect. Safe travels and just subscribed!

Nice 😎 but yeah the anti venom mod is really nice. Really changed the feel of my shifter. Safe travels as well. Thank you for the Sub. 💪

These cars are the biggest bargains in the car world right now. I picked up mine right before covid for $14,700. It had 75k on it then. I've fixed a few things like the actuators and the seat rock. Changed the cam, tires, anti-sway bars. Nice wheels!

@@yisyerry ep. I've done a bunch of stuff like for instance I put additional seat bladders into the original seats making them grip me tighter. Changing the actuators in the middle of the dash wasn't really that bad. You can't have the pass side blowing hot when you have the A/c on! I have subscribed so I'll be following your build. Jim

Lots of autos out there. Pretty easy to see what vettes have been maintained and which ones have been abused. Huge price gap on them too from what I’ve seen a base C5 can go anywhere from 8-~23k. Also depends if you buy privately or from a dealer. Good luck with your purchase tho. 💪

Check the comments and replies. I actually went over this briefly. But basically anywhere from $8k-$25k basically. Just depends.

I like that you literally showed the car the whole time, while going over everything. Pretty much ever single person just yaps while showing themselves for 75% of the video drives me crazy. Nice car, I’m in the market for one and was wondering what did you pay for it?

@yisyerry

Ай бұрын

Thanks for the input I appreciate that. 🤝😂 and tbh you can find these things as low as 8-10k but usually will require work and be higher mileage and probably even salvage title. Mine is a super clean low mileage, its loaded and has a manual. Usually these options tend to make these C5 more expensive. Id look around to see what options you want and find which will be right for you. As for my car I paid in the 20’s. So it shouldnt be too crazy finding one in your budget but finding one with the exact options you want is the challenge. Took me 2 years of off and on searching. Ill be sure to cover this stuff in my next video as well. Thanks for stopping by.

@@yisyerry appreciate the info and that’s what I figured. Same prices as where I’m located as well, personally looking for a clean low miles with a stick. So I figured high teens low twenties for one. I know the 01-04 years are the more desirable ones so I’ve been keeping an eye out for those, but wouldn’t be a deal breaker for an earlier model as well.

@yisyerry

Ай бұрын

⁠​⁠@@Broweanyeah you shouldnt have too hard of a time then really. But definitely good to have patience for these kinds of things. And yeah 01-04 are definitely more desirable. Personally i would try sticking with these years or even 02-04. Only because issues that earlier models have had are pretty much fixed. And i believe anything pre-2000 has a different type of smog as well. Good luck with finding your C5 👍

@yisyerry yeah same but C1 and C8's are not ugly though... they just look different. C1 just looks like a classic car, which is fine. C2 looks great also, but C3 is when they implemented that "corvette" body and styling that you can see all the way to the C8.

I enjoy using my 2001 C5 as daily.
