captcruz - hang in there buddy, you'll find the right vette..there are tons of very nice C5's out there...you can also check here on the forum if you have not done so under C5 Corvettes for sale.
that price sounds wayy to high..the parts probably cost next to nothing to a dealer...so don't buy that line.
good luck

Downside is it has 79,500 miles and Dealer wants $23,000. I have the money but doesn't that sound like alot for so many miles? It appears well maintained and drove well.
This is going to be my first vette so I'm skeptical if I should pay this much for so many miles.
Anyone out there with some advice?

Plus a lot depends on the condition of the car. NO one on a website can tell you that without going and looking at it first hand.
Best of luck with finding the car of your dreams

I'm sure they will deal with you on the car if you take your time. Just make sure the car is in the shape you think it is. You might want to take someone from a local Corvette club to look it over with you that owns a C5.
