Default Hi new member from central california

After forty years and 4 daughters looking to buy my 2nd vette. My last was a used low mileage 68 T top, 4spd.which I sold in 75. As usual I had to sell due to kids and insurance! Over the years I have owned numerous mustangs, firebirds, camaros and hot rods, all pre computer era.

I have been considering 2006 to 2012 6 speed coupes. I prefer red and blue tones in the color dept. What I'm clueless about is what mileage range to consider, price ranges and equipment packages. Should I buy from dealer, used car lot or private owner. I would like to stay below $35k. I don't care about depreciation as I plan on keeping the car. It will not be a daily driver, perhaps 5k mileage a year. A lot of the articles I have read are old and I don't know if the recommendations and prices are current?

I have been checking websites and the prices are all over the map? Could use some expert advice. Thanks in advance for your indulgence and help.
