Have owned 4 vettes. Loved them 68, 75, 80 & 81. Thinking of a driver C5. Worst case scenario, what additional expenses can I likely faces...as far as repairs....say 100K miles.
Hopefully no added cost. Hopefully everthing has been maintained an all you have to worry about is normal up-keep.
100k isnt much these days.
Find out what's all been done an replaced already including ugrades.

Be picky and take yor time. Read the "everything you should know" sticky and be prepared to scrub down the cars you look at for known issues.
I am also historically a C3 and classic chevy guy. Just bought a 2001 for a DD ~2 months back. I went with a few more $$ to get a low mile car (32k). However it has shown some temperment...throwing colds when cold, clicking axels had to be greased and re-torqued, but so far nothing major... Good luck!
Had my 01' for 4-5 years now, just turned 40K. Only thing I've done is the knock sensors and normal fluid maint., brakes/tires normal stuff. I did have to do the EBCM for the 1214 problem, but since it's a year that can be repaired it was very cheap to do.
