First corvette
Greetings:
I am looking for a used corvette.
I see c6 models with low miles for 30 to 40k
And c4 models with low miles for 20 to 30k
or c5's even
these have around 5000 miles or less
Which type should I buy, for a daily driver?
which would maintenance or repair be lowest ?
reliability which is best too?
Thanx

i just traded my 01 with 107k for an 07 with 40k. The 07 cost me 28k. you cant go wrong with a C5 or C6. both great cars....i wouldnt be too concerned with mileage as these cars can go forever...

Since you posted in C6, we will tell you C6 is the way to go. 
C4's can be had for under $15k. Personally I wouldn't pay over $5k for one.
2008 was a great year. Start there.

You can find many C6's for 20-30K. "Low" miles is more the issue. For a DD, get a C6 with about 50K miles and you will be fine. I would stay away from a C4 (especially in that price range). A C5 with low miles will definately be in there also.
Good luck!
