Known issues?

I am looking at to buy my first Vette and have found a nice 96'. It has 96K on it and was owned by a former GM employee. Was very well cared for and it shows. Is there anything that I should check for when I go to look at this car? Its an automatic and has been in Florida is whole life, so salt rust shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for your input.

Check for oil leaks just like any other car. Find out if it has had a new opti cap and rotor. Also check if the heater controls work. All of these things are no big deal but are common.

A 30 second search of our database gives this great if not over the top check list.
