Great. Thanks for the info, i'll check it out. I found a 2000 black convertible corvette in another state. It has 62000k and the dealer is asking $22500. Other than e-mailing the dealer, is carfax the best way to find out the history of the vehicle?

Since your looking at a C5. I would suggest that you ask your questions in the C5 General Section below as that is where many more people will see you request. More importantly, that is where the C5 owners are most plentiful.

Good luck with your search. Your car will be where you find it. I wouldn't think twice about going cross country for a car that I wanted. Enjoy the process!
