Most common is the ECM (engine control module) and the BCM (body control module). If there are no current code issues depicted it is a crap shoot to say something will go wrong. The modules are not super expensive. It is the diagnostics and labor charges that occur while trying to pinpoint the exact root cause.

If it were me I would still continue to hunt for and older low mileage C5. Although the price this car is being offered up to you makes it pretty enticing.....

That's just it....it's a very low price for a C5. 
 
Micki-  I talked to Mike about the "panels".  He's referring to the gaps and alignment between the doors/fenders and the fenders/hood/hatch.  This question is probably too general but how much space/mis-alignmnet is "normal"? 
 
By the way, I don't see it advertised anymore so he may have sold it.  I'm not going to check until I talk to Mike more (and we calculate the final boat bill Shocked )

I know, I feel the same about the price - nice and low!Wink
 
I was talkin' about the computers for the C5's - expensive! Shocked So are the tires (run flats). Shocked
 
As far as the spacing between the panels.........here's an example of the spacing between mine..........it's inbetween these lines below:

Karen,

     Have you ever considered the federal, stste and local auctions? I have seen some pretty good deals on cars and trucks. High dollar stuff that usually sell for cheap dollars. Just a thought.

way too many miles, stay away from it you will definitely have to put money into the car, as I said  in my earlier post, there is a lot of c5's out there with lower mileage. check out craigslist in ny, do a search for corvette unders cars and trucks, 1998 silver corvette with 68,000 miles for
13,000. and a 2003 corvette 57000 miles $19500., and as I have learned there is always a better deal right around the corner.I wouldn't touch a corvette with 140,000 miles

Well, it looks like he sold it.  It was on eBay, appears he got one offer which he refused, then it disappeared.  I assume he negotiated a price with that bidder...oh well.  Something better is waiting down the road. 

I can't imagine buying a car without seeing it with my own eyes and driving it.  That's why I'm not looking outside the local area.  It's not something I'd be comfortable doing...yet.

I'm looking at a 2000 Coupe, manual, 49000 miles, and the guy is at $18500.  Good condition, especially interior, great tires.  What do you think about that price?

thats a pretty good price. Have you checked autotrader.com. A lot of these car sites you can search by zip code. Craigslist is also good and can search by city. there is a lot of corvettes for sale right now, and the prices are coming down

I like to surf through CORVETTE FORUM To see what C5 prices are being asked by owners. Today's list has several under $20 K but nothing jumps out and says buy me please for me today.....
