Default good advice
when I was out hunting for my 1st vette just a couple months ago I got some good advice from my god father (ruby & 97 pace car) check out the engine, how clean is it, check the wear on the tires how has it been driven, look VERY close at the paint. I could tell a good bit from some of the engines (and these were at a dealer not private). Buy with your head not your heart (I made that mistake at first.

love the color, price seems good, do car fax and get a warranty check from GM see what has been worked on.
