C5-C6 Corvettes...
I sold my old 'Vette (72) before moving to Florida and have the itch now to get a newer one. For the Vette guys.... Are there any years to stay away from? I'm looking for a 2005-2010....But would buy a C5 if I found the right one. There are a chitload of cars down here with less than 10K miles on them that are owned by old guys. The only thing that I'm sure of is that I don't want red, black or yellow as a color. That weeds out at least 70% of them!!!
Thx in advance,
Craig

....and before anyone posts "Get a new one, they are awesome"..... I already know that but they are outside of my budget. I really like my wife and want to stay married!

the only problems i have seen are the rear diff side covers still leak. the early (97-01) had steering column lock issues which can be a pain in the a$$. other than that dont be afraid of a car with some miles on it(30-40k). they seem to run better and leak less oil than the cars that are 10 yrs old with 5k miles on them

I bought a '97 6 Speed a couple years ago and have had zero issues. Most issues any of these cars had are long fixed by now.
Its a lot of car for very little money.
