So a guy I know says you got to go to this site (corvetteforum.com).
I have about 20K to spend and it looks like that should buy a nice one with the market right now.

So anyway "HELLO" all.

Thanks everyone. I just got a insurance quote Oh well its only money.

I have been lerking about the last few weeks and from what I can tell you all are a storehouse of information and advice. So I am hoping to make a good first Vette purchase with your help and enjoy it till the next one btw I am looking at mostly C5 coupes, but am still open to all others except Verts (don't want to have to keep cleaning the interior all the time in our enviorment)
So first question is where is the best place to ask questions like
1. what are the main things (good/bad) to look for in a say a $20k C5?
2. any years/engines/other things to stay away from?

So help the newbie out
