Newbie looking at a C6

[driver71]

Hi all,
Just looking for some advice here. We are going to look at a 2005 Vette tomorrow and am just wondering what are the most important things to look at/for if I'm going to purchase it.
Cheers

Get an inspection done by a reputable shop that knows vettes.

Outside of getting an inspection done, do you much about Corvettes? I only ask as there are different levels of options available. I would check out the autotrader or kijiji to see what similar Corvettes are going for in your area. As for 2005, I am not totally sure, I am more familiar with the C5's than C6's and hope someone can chime in a little more.

Anyway, welcome to the forum! Let us know if you go through with the purchase! Post pics if you do!

Mental note also that you should do some due diligence about the rear diff in the 2005 c6s.

no doubt....but there should not be issues unless significant performance mods are made in the future.

good luck with your new ride. Looks like a nice one....and your right, it will be a long winter. I'm in the same boat. Yesterday I sat in my car and made varoom sounds, just not the same !!

HA! I feel so happy and sad for you. Looks like a beaut of a car! Sorry that it is only the start of winter. It would be hard to wait with a car like that. Is it April yet?

C6 looks awesome in silver. If I didn't find one in Jetstream Blue, I would have goten a silver one too. The lines are shown so beautifully in that colour. You're right about the long winter... I am importing my new C6 from the US as we speak... I feel your pain!

Congrats on the ride man!
