Ya Micki, I'll catch hell if I buy a Red Vette
But it sure is purdy. Which Black coupe are you talking about? The first one I linked sold, and the last black one was a Vert also.

I think this Red 50th Anniversary has some issues, some maybe minor but I don't know why their replacing a water pump on an 03 with 30,000 miles, check this free CarFax on it. What do you think, is this a Friday car? My sister had a certified Corvette Lemon bought back by GM.

I did 

Oh ya Larry, a friend of yours is trying to sell me the C5 at Titus-Will Chev. You know Brian Johnson? Hes the salesman that I took a ride with today in the Vette.
I drove the Black C5 in Olympia, seemed to ride well (but I no expert) lotsa powa. I think it's got 37k miles and the body needs a really good buffing. There is one spot on the trunk that has some scratches, but the rest of the car looks good. Heres some pictures. Tell me what you think.

Brian is a used car salesman, very professional and as much as I know a very straight shooter, he'll be as fair and up front as any. if you are serious i would dicker for them to buff it out, repair the scratches, did you look at there 03 z06 they have also, think that is the year, think it was 27900. larry

Oh, I thought the second one was a coupe.....sorry. Does the black one at the Dealer's have any receipts with it from the last owner? So you liked the way it drove?
On the red anniversary car, the one they replaced the water pump.....well, sometimes the C5's (most of them) have a little problem with the belts and they will squeek. A lot of times a place will replace the water pump thinking this will cure the belt when actually it's the tensioner/belt. A gator back belt will cure the problem, but a lot of people don't know this. Go figure...

I don't know if the black vert had any reciepts, I didn't ask. I'm not sure about it right now, they are asking 32.9k. I'm thinking thats a bit much for a Vette with 40k miles. I know thats not a real lot but I've seen a lot less miles on the same year for less money. I'm not gonna jump on the first Vette I find that I like and I don't know if I wanna buy another outta state on eBay. Although my 07 Avalanche was a great deal off eBay.
