Upcoming c5 owner
Hello,
I currently do not own a corvette. Right now I am looking to purchase a 2003 c5z in the near future, hopefully in the next 1-3 months or so. I am planning to be a lifelong corvette owner and hope to daily drive my c5z for years to come. I have never owned a manual before, so this will be quite the learning experience! I have done a bit of wrenching on my own vehicles over the years but nothing internal, just things in the engine bay and suspension stuff. If anyone is selling a c5z or knows someone who has one, don't hesitate to reach out! I am mainly interested in yellow and silver.

Welcome!
I have at a few times been looking for a very specific year / color of Corvette and what I do is go to autotrader.com, cars.com, edmunds, carsforsale... etc. and put in the specific's of what I am looking for and do a nationwide search and then sort by distance. If you are willing to travel a bit or if the seller can deliver the car it's a great way to get exactly what you want - especially an older car.
C5's are awesome and super reliable. You are going to have a blast!
