Look for a clean machine with mid range miles. If any year Corvette was
taken care of it will have had the bugs corrected already. It's just a used
car and all the cautions apply.

Here's an add from a dealer on a sharp silver with light gray interior.
Notice how all Corvette adds have to have the word "RARE" in them?
Corvette -1998 - fully loaded - rare 6 speed coupe - has sport seats -
climate control - memory pkg - glass roof - clean - very tight driving car -
has only 62k miles - only $18995

I'd even drive it out there for you. ;-]
