Nothing extrordinary, just the issues you would expect from an 18 year old car. Low mileage examples tend to have some issues from not being used for extended times. Present condition and vehicle history are the two major things to look for. It's a far more complex car than a 63, but not as much as the later generations.

Maybe he was referring to the Opti Boogyman...ive had my Vette for a year and aside from door panels, sunvisors and Dulso laminate, Iam very impressed by the car.
I had kind of thought it might be off the road half the time...instead it just starts every time and goes down the road.

The only issue I can think of on a 93 Vette is the non-vented Opti. It can be upgraded with a vented opti and you will have a reliable Vette.
BTW, you will see an oil leak coming from the front of the engine. That is normal on all 92-96 Vettes.

If you search the tech forum you'd probably find a high percentage of '93 owners posting their problems. The '93 has some unique parts and you'll find that year skipped for some parts in the catalogs. We love our ruby. We get loads of compliments, BUT it sits dead in the garage with another ignition problem. If I had a do over, I'd of paid more and gotten a '96
