I would always prefer stock to modified unless I knew the car and owner and could verify how it was treated.
That beinng said, I wouldn't buy any Corvette without a clutch....but that's more personal preference than anything.

Im in New Zealand. 34k in NZ is equal to about $22k USD.
Ive been really tossing and turning between manual and auto too. - I just want it for cruising really. Manuals are fairly hard to come by here - eg theres about 120 corvettes for sale in the whole country that I can find (thats all years from the 1950's up to a 2018) and out of that, across all ears there are about 6-7 manuals. so they tend to call for higher prices.
Ideally Id drive a few more but given they are scarce, and spread out, it isnt practical to do so

thanks for the input! - Man, Id love a Z!!! but yeah outta my range sadly!
there was an '05 C6 on that list - is that less desirable because it has the 4speed auto rather than the 6speed Im guessing? - is completely stock. ($34k) about 50k miles
I know of an extremely tidy 01 6sp manual with cosmetic extras - wheels, front lip spoiler, rear spoiler and side skirts from a Z06, but mechanically stock apart from Z06 brake rotors ($32k) about 50k miles
theres a couple other options that are slightly less desirable to me - an '02 auto (cheaper though at $26k, but about 66k miles)
Does anyone recommend any parts places for vette's? Id like to price up doing mods myself on a stock car, but not sure what companies in the USA are good to deal with for quality parts that dont break the bank????
