    The above is pretty solid advice, a lot of 'vette owners baby
their cars. BUT these owners rarely let them go cheaply if at all.
Also less caring owners have a habit of disconnecting the odometer
so it looks as if THEY only drove 4-6 months a year. Usual used
car advice applies here, get mechanic to give it once over etc
(my mechanic quoted $ 25 to check any domestic car out, I suspect
that this would be about average).


             Good Luck
