Great price for the mileage. The biggest thing on these cars is the clutch hydraulics, so check the clutch fluid. If it's somewhat dark that's pretty normal, but if it looks like a muddy swamp in there, then you'll likely have to replace the clutch/hydraulics soon.

Leaking battery is also common...as well as leaking rear shocks/axle seals.

just research it well....like you would any other car purchase. I would also take a vette buddy from your area for an impartial opinion. I have an '01 w/68k miles...and it is rock solid. Hope it works out for you!

85k miles on my 01. Replaced tie rod ends, toe rod ends, and rear tires. Fixed the HVAC display and a few other minor things. It is my daily driver and I love it.
