I just bought my first vette, its a y2k coupe with less than 20k miles. I am going down tonight to pick it up. Its midnight blue, black/light camel and magnesium wheels.
It's a very clean car, I was concerned with the gm report that one cyl/rings each bank had been serviced. The report also said both headlight motors had been serviced and the stearing column/wiring had been replaced. I think most of the issues are pretty common things as I have been reading quite a bit through the forums here. Hopefully it will be a good car for a long time to come!
I got a pretty good deal so I am happy with my new toy, I couldn't sleep at all last night!
