Default 2005-2008 Corvette purchase

I am a new member. I may be able in the near future to purchase a 2005-2008 Corvette. I am in Arizona & can find nice cars in the 35-50K mile range. Is there anything that I should look for or avoid on these years? I am a retired Chevy tech & have wanted a Corvette since I was a young boy, its now or never!

Welcome and best of luck with the hunt. Be picky, and don't be afraid to walk away. Having never personally owned a C6, I am afraid I am not much help. The C6 section would be a great resource to use to answer your questions.

In the C6 category, I've heard a lot of people say to get the newest one you can. Check the tires also. They are not cheap to replace.

Good hunting and welcome to the forum!
