I'm looking to buy my first corvette when I move back home to NJ in a few weeks, 24 years old here. Definitely need some advice for buying one, but there are a few guidelines on what I'm looking for.

C6, preferably 2008 or later
Manual, convertible
red/blue/orange/black highly preferred
Mileage irrelevant for the most part
Since my daily driver Dodge Neon was totaled in a car accident, this corvette will be my daily driver because why not.
I have anywhere from 20-25k to spend.

Any advice on specific cars on sale, expected maintenance costs, expected insurance costs, or general discussion is appreciated.

Thanks!

If you like working on cars, mine has a couple issues but I daily drive it and it's great minus the fuel gauge and power steering leak. Not 08+ but makes more power.

RagaVette

My 2005 will be listed this week. Has the removable top which is about as open as a rag top without the noise when closed. I don't recommend a Vette for driving in snow. (I garage mine in winter but others have said snow is a no-go.) I did put Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons which are much better for traction.

1 photo and window sticker attached. Good looking, good running car.
