Default Need some help please

Hi all,
New to posting but have been reading here for months. I am on the verge of buying a corvette and I was wandering if there was anybody in the Doylestown, Pa area that would be willing to go along with me to take a second look at the car. I saw it for the first time a week or so ago and I liked what I saw and I liked it when I drove it. Unfortunately, I am not very mechanically inclined and quite frankly, I do not know what to specifically look for as far as any problems that the car may or mat not have. The car is a 2001 Coupe, 6 speed. I am sure I had read at this site that there are some people that are willing to go along with potential buyers and take a look at what they me be purchasing. Know this,,,,I would greatly appreciate any guidance and I, of course would be willing to pay you for your time. If you are interested in helping me out, you can send me an email at: eagle_flies_high@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance for your help

I think you would have better luck posting this in your regional section.

If you can find someone to go with you that knows about C5s, be sure to first review the info contained in this thread. It also has a Corvette Buyers Checklist in there.
