I agree..
AC54ME's summary is spot on. Some of the 01s used a lot of oil although the TSB is for the Z06 so a Vert shouldn't be affected. Even so, an 02 may be a better option if you can find one.
The only other thing I've had on my 02 is a bad door lock module. I'd say battery and diff are the ones to check carefully.

So, watch out for those two areas for they are expensive to fix. I also have experienced a code or two suggesting my ABS system was having trouble. This one can be expensive to fix too.

I've got a 2003 with 25K miles. I'm getting all kinds of messages about the ABS system, Traction Control System, etc. It's a C1214 error code. Took it to the dealer and they want 2800 to fix it saying the EBCM and BPM are both bad. I checked this forum and evidently this may be a common problem on C5 vettes.
I'm not paying 2800.00 to fix it, instead I've removed the EBCM and hoping the guys at ABSFixer.com can repair it. If not, I'm out a lot of money.
My situation isn't unique if you do a search for EBCM on this forum.
Good luck.
