Default Found high mileage 133k 2009 C6 Coupe 3LT $18.5

Hi Guys,
Looking to re-enter Corvette ownership and looking for C6 LS3. Found this high mileage 3LT coupe, 6MT on CarGuru in Campbell. Looks good in pictures and wonder if worth the drive from Napa to check out. Is previous owner known here in CF? What should I look out for this high mileage LS3?

Can't get the link to CarGuru. Sorry you'll have to search yourself to check out.

Thanks

I hate to say it but with a car with that high of mileage I would except there to be a few major repairs to come in time. And I would think you would want to autox it too. So think about another 5-8 K in repairs. Why not get a lower mileage car where you wouldn't have the repairs for a little more money. Maybe even get some warranty
There's a few nice cars on carmax. I looked for a while. And found mine in vegas.
Also remember. You can get an after market warranty from Abel at a good price too on a lower mileage car.
I got one on my car and it's kinda paid for itself already in a year.

On mine it's something every few months. Wheel bearing. Then water pump. Then harmonic balancer. Then steering fluid leak. Then tires etc lol. That being said so far it's less than havin a brand new car and payments and high insurance. For sure mine would sell for less than price poster mentioned unless our cars have gone up in value or somehow there is no paint chips and etc with all those miles, maybe it has perfect wheels and tires. Maybe the current owner already upgraded or replaced Harmonjc balancer etc.
