How good is a 2002 corvette?

Hello Guys,

This is my first post on the forum. I am so excited to be a part of this forum.

I have a query and hope ya'all will help me.

I am looking for a pre-owned car to be used daily for work. I will be doing around 50 miles a day.

I came across 2002 corvette convertible done 90,000 miles and is automatic. The asking price is $17000. I would appreciate any feedback about this corvette. Is it reliable? Is it horribly expensive to maintain? Is it fuel efficient? How is spare parts cost and availability?

How would it compare to a 1999 Mercedes SL500 which i am getting for almost similar price.

Would appreciate help in this matter. Sorry for asking so many questions. If any mistake found, please pardon.

thanks
