In my effort to get a quote for insurance on the C5 - a question they ask alot is about a Thatcham Catagory 1 or 2 alarm....

Does anyone know if the C5 has a Cat 1 (alarm + immob) or Cat 2 (immob only)....

I found this too - but how does this match to Thatcham?.....
"GM's innovative PASSlock® II theft-deterrent system is standard on the Corvette. PASSlock® II is a totally passive system: only your special coded ignition key starts your Corvette. Further standard anti-theft devices are a programmable horn and lights alarm, a visible vehicle identification number and a laser-etched VIN Plate."


Also they ask if it is an import....
Do you respond:
- No UK Spec (but it is a US car)
- Euro Model (UK Spec)
- Euro Model (Non-UK Spec)
- Japanese Import
- US Import

Many thanks

Hi Richard,

Yes still looking around - in that sort of mood of shall i, shan't i..... so its all back to the numbers and what costs what etc....

I tried to look for some German dealers the other day on the net - but my german ain't the best so finding a dealer is a little hard.... Got any good links?

I don't think I can afford a new one (£25K) is about my limit at the moment, so second hand ones are probably what I can get? Do the dealers only do new, or do they have older stock?

Tks for the tips on the insurance.

Cheers

Mark
