That's not necessarily true

If U have a Vette that U have been charged more to do work on than almost any other GM vehicle... U may have gotten robbed by that Mechanic.

The ONLY thing that tends to cost more on a Vette than any other GM vehicle (with exception to new Caddys) tends to be the TIRES, and possibly Techno stuff like the HUD. General maintenance is pretty much equal in my experience. The only major thing I could see being a wee bit more expensive to work on would be work on the Tranny since it's sitting behind the DS.

I would say go for the buy... just check it out.. or have it checked out for abuse.

If it's a stick... ask the owner to take U out for a spin and watch his shifting ability. If he can't drive stick properly... try to get him to ease up on the price by $2K at least.. because a clutch might be in your future.

Unless you plan on driving it a couple times a week make sure you invest in a battery tender. They like to eat batteries when they sit.
