Corvette C5 with low mileage of about 55029 miles with its perfect body that looks excellent for its low mileage and regular maintenance. That is what helped to keep the perfect mechanical condition as close to new as I think it could be. Garage kept and the good weather afternoon drives were where my wife and I put on mileage. The car has about an average of less than 6000 miles a year or about 100 miles a week. Stock standard 350 hp engine and 6 speed manual transmission getting 36 mpg on the highway yet its quiet but moves with the touch of the gas. No modifications but still high performance. It has the style, a real corvette touch. Inside and outside shows equally as perfect and is FOR SALE at the BUY NOW of $23999.00 asking price or best offer above reserve.

Overview
Commemorative editions mark the last of the C5s
The 2004 model year is the swan song for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, and will mark the best year for the C5s.
About 3,000 Corvettes will have been sold for model year 2004, some of which will be special editions designed to commemorate C5-R victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other endurance races. Le Mans Blue paint and polished wheels distinguish the 2004 Corvette Commemorative Edition models. Their interiors are Shale-colored
For the past 50 years, the Corvette has been America's sports car, a U.S.-production two-seater capable of real racetrack performance. The Corvette endures because it has always represented a performance value. The C5 does this in a big way, boasting performance and handling matched only by the Dodge Viper, Porsche 911 and various exotics, all of which are far more expensive.
But some of that misses the point. There's really nothing quite like the Corvette. Driving the C5 model is always a visceral experience. The coupe is the most practical, offering nearly twice as much trunk space as the convertible or hardtop models.
The 350-horsepower 5.7-liter LS1 V8 powers the coupe. An automatic transmission is standard; a six-speed manual ($915) is optional.
Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate controls, fog lamps, sport seats, four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS, a driver information center, remote keyless entry, stainless steel exhaust with chromed quad outlets, retractable headlights, Bose speakers, 6-way power seats with leather upholstery, extended-mobility (run flat) Z-rated tires, traction control with Active Handling, and cast alloy wheels. The coupe comes with a parcel net and luggage shade. Child Restraint Attachment System (CRAS) hooks are provided in the passenger and the passenger-side air bag can be manually shut off while carrying children. Included on this coupe is the adds a head-up instrument display.
Commemorative editions add $3,700 to the retail prices of the coupe
C5 Corvettes come with comfortable cabins, something that wasn't always true of previous-generation models. Low doorsills and narrow side rails make getting in and out easier than before. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of room for driver and passenger, though there isn't a lot of space for stuff. Front seat space in the three models is pretty much the same. The power seats have a memory function and the handsome analog gauges are easier to use and more satisfying than the old digital displays.
The coupe comes with a real trunk. Arriving at the airport after a trip halfway around the world, we were able to cram two huge duffel bags into a coupe. The coupe's trunk can hold 24.8 cubic feet of cargo, considerably more than the convertible's 13.9 cubic feet and the hardtop's 13.3 cubic feet.

Driving Impressions
The C5 is beautifully balanced, surprisingly comfortable, and is built to a far higher standard than any Corvette in history. The C5 handles great on a road course, but still reminds us of a muscle car when cruising along or accelerating down a straight stretch. The Corvette is a beast.
The standard Corvette engine, the LS1 V8, is potent. Stand on the throttle and its fast traffic. It produces 350 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque with the six-speed manual transmission, and 360 pound-feet with the automatic.

The Corvette is quick out of the gate, whether equipped with the automatic or manual. While we prefer the six-speed. Active Handling, which comes standard, gets you out of slides before trouble strikes by applying braking to the individual corners as needed. It uses on-board sensors to measure yaw, lateral acceleration and steering wheel position, and uses ABS and traction control to correct oversteer or understeer. Corvette engineers calibrated the system to limit intrusiveness, however. Aside from an "Active Handling" message on the instrument panel, drivers might not always realize they've been assisted.

Summary
The fifth-generation, or C5, Chevrolet Corvette is said to have been the newest Corvette in the history of the model, sporting more changes than all previous models, including the original, which shared some parts with other Chevrolets. The C5 is by far the best Corvette to date. And with continuous refinements aimed at improving performance and ride quality, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette is the best of the C5 models.
The Corvette is no longer this country's only sports car. And it has evolved well beyond what we would call affordable. There doesn't seem to be much question that the C5, Chevrolet Corvette is the greatest generation of this 50-year-old American is a world-class GT. Nothing can match the Corvette's pavement-ripping prowess per dollar.
