C5 Buyer's Guide?
Does anyone know of a C5 buyer's Guide available? I found a C3 buyer's guide by Richard Prince on Amazon, but nothing for a C5. I did a quick CF forum search but didn't see anything.

I've got a Corvette Buyers Checklist that I developed from many sources as well as my experiences with three C5s. While it is not totally C5 specific, it might help you out. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

Read ALL of it. It's wealth of info and it helped me our greatly when I got my first C5 last year...(thanks Vetteman Jack!)
One thing that cannot be overlooked is the section on how to pull codes. That is a great indicator of any potential issues that you may have with a car that is at least over 10 years old...

Just sent the files to you. Good luck finding the right C5 for you.
