Hello all. I reside in northeast FL and I drive a 2012 Chevy volt. I’ve had it for 6 years and want to get out of the hybrid world. Joined the forum to learn about the cars and eventually buy a C5 for under $20k!

Welcome to the Forum!
To help you learn more about C5 Corvettes before your purchase I would encourage you to read through the Sticky Threads at the tops of the C5 Tech and C5 General sections. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/. Lot of great info there that should prove very beneficial to you when you are evaluating a potential purchase. Remember to check out the C5 Corvettes For Sale section too.
You may also want to see if there are any Corvette clubs in your area, or any car shows near you. Talk to C5 owners there to find out any concerns they have had - again, this should help make you a more prepared shopper.
Best wishes with your search and post some pics in C5 General once you have your C5!
