Hello everyone.

I was looking at purchashing a 2002 this week and was wondering if you could help. I used to own a 84 about 10 years ago and had nothing but problems with it. I know these cars have come a long way since then but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they have had any serious issues with the 02 model over the years.

This would be my main car and driven daily to and from work as well as around town. It has about 52,000 miles on it.

Any information you could provide of your own personal experiences would be very helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to ready my post.

Have a great weekend!

I had mine from 2001, I got it new and never had a problem. Oh not true after I had her bumped up to over 600 h/p I did mess up my clutch, but gess what I still have the same clutch and if I don,t get on it from a dead stop she is just fine. I will be putting a new clutch in soon.:)

I have an 2003 and love the car, what ever problems have always been small ones, nothing major. You'll be happy!

2002 with 52,000 miles? You are in good shape, what they asking for it?

I have a rather large doc that lists all known problems with C5s and what to look for, also some trivia and little known facts. PM me your Email address as it's too big to attach in here.

My 99 has 32,000 wanna buy it? :lol:

Just kidding, but I did look high and low until I settled on this one. I knew what options I wanted and what colors I didn't want, then bought the lowest mileage one that met that criteria.
