I'm a newbie here and also to Corvettes.
Currently I don't own a corvette but I am looking. I have, give or take $20k, that I can spend but...
...but I need information as to what I need to look out for. I heard rumors that there are some problems with certain types of vettes. Can anyone give me any info as to what I need to watch out for? Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks to all.

Welcome aboard and good hunting in your search for a Corvette. Be sure to check out the C5 & C6 Sections for information. Pay special attention to the FAQ Area as most of the known issues have been listed within.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!!!! 
For 20k you are squarely in good C5 territory. Any C6 you might find for that money you probably wouldn't want. Good luck with your research. Enjoy the Forums.

Welcome to the Forum Don With that kind of money I would be looking for a nice C5. Hope your search goes well and you find a vette that puts a big 
grin on your face every time you go for a drive.
