Default C6 electrical issuses

I'm waiting to take delivery of a 2010 I purchased last week from Carmax in Raleigh NC(2nd owner). I bought a carfax report and found a replace/repair for a power outlet(9/2011, 9300 miles) ?, the radio replaced(01/2012, 11,000 miles) and a battery and cable replaced (11/12, 18,000 miles). This was reported by the 1st owner (AutoNation Chevrolet) in Fort Lauderdale FL. Info I received from service dept was the radio had a short and was replaced. The car has just under 25,000

Has anyone had any electrical issues with your C6.
HELP I'M OLD and NEED SOME PEACE OF MIND........LOL

None of those are repairs that would concern me.

Battery is a standard item and the others wouldn't bother me at all, don't over think it. My concerns would be if there were accidents or engine-drivetrain issues.

By the way, enjoy your Vette.

Agree...

There's always some risk with a used car, but I wouldn't not buy it because of any of those items.

Default thanks for feedback.... peace of mine

thanks all, was just a little concern. the 91 I owned had issues with the intake gasket leaking anti-freeze in the head and caused big problem.
My 99 had water leaking in passenger side firewall causing electrical problem frying some module.

HEADS-UP all C6 owners have your drain openings (bottom of windshield) checked/cleaned of debris.

Thanks Again
