Subject: Re: 99 Coupe... what's it worth? by Matatk on 2008/10/17 1:34:27 Dale - In the past when I was looking at upgrading to C5s that would have seemed in line with dealer prices. But more recently, prices have started dropping a lot in comparison. I just saw a private seller 99 with 85,000 miles on it for 13,000 just outside of Detroit (tough market there). Price will vary somewhat by market, but I think that car could be had for less (but also consider trade value, etc). As far as common problems, the C5 seemed to have some electrical gremlins, mostly. The big failure on almost all of them was the ignition interlock (that most people bypassed). I have read some issues with the ignition causing weird electrical issues as well as the wiring connections/boot in the doors. Seat leather is cheap (worse than c4s). Some of the later ones burned oil from ring flutter (I think it's called???) but that was only at high rpms for sustained periods of time. I'm sure there are issues, as every car has, but they can all be repaired. Good luck, Matthew |
