Maintenance Schedule C6 2007
I'm shopping for a C6, looking at a few 2007's, base models- I prefer a manual transmission. I'm wondering what the maintenance costs may be, particularly for the clutch. One car has 30k miles on it, and I'm wondering when is the recommended check/replace if needed per owners manual for the clutch is and what range in the cost should I anticipate?
I'm already figuring in a set of tires and maybe fluid changes.

Clutch replacement can run up to $2000 as to life I had over 100,000 miles on mine when the pilot bearing went........... the clutch disk, pressure plate and fly wheel wear fine 
the problem is you don't know how much or how often a previous owner let it slip
as much torque as these engines have there is no reason to slip the clutch ..........so it should be good for a long time

There are no required maintenance costs for the clutch. If the clutch is shot on a 30K mile car that is most likely due to abuse and you should seriously consider walking away from the car. Here are the GM C6 maintenance requirements:
Pretty simple stuff and not too expensive to do.

-wow, last 100k miles??? It has been 20 years since I drove a manual. I think I had to replace the disk at 50k or so? I forget.
-the description of the maintenance is cool, but looks like it is for an automatic. I'd at least expect to see an "adjust clutch peddle play" or something, at some point over 100k.
Oh well, this gives me an idea, I shouldn't expect much initial maintenance cost, but still verify, clutch condition before making offers.
Thanks
