new guy needs your thoughts
I've been a long time fan of the Corvette. If the stars line up right, I may be more than an admirer. I live in east Tennessee and would like to have a Corvette to take my wife on rides through the mountains. From what I've seen, it appears later model C4 or high mileage early model C5. What advice can you all give me as to what to look for and what to look out for, specific options, etc. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to participating in this forum.

Welcome! 
It's always a good idea to buy the latest technology you can afford. If you're looking for a smooth ride stay away from the Z06. Although it's a great performance car, the ride can be a bit harsh for some people. Good luck!
