First Time Buyer Tips....
I have always liked the Vette and never been able to afford one before. I just re-enlisted in the military and got a large bonus and wanted to finish paying off the house and the rest is mine to play with. I will have about 7k left over after paying off the house and been thinking of sinking in a C5 Vette. I have been lookin local alot lately and seen just a few but most of the C5's are running in the 10-13k range with the occasional 20K+ one. Most of the 10-13k ones are high miles in the low to mid 100k range and im wanting to get an Auto 4 because my current car is an Audi 6 speed and where im at the traffic on and off the base is horrific and its starting to get me ill driving the manual to work. I do love an manual but i would prefer an auto. What are some suggestions you could tell me.

My advice is to by the newest, lowest mileage car you can afford. And thoroughly check out the car - especially the service history and have a mechanic look at it.
