what is a good price and reliability

i am planning on buying a 1998 corvette. it has 80,000 miles on it. and it is selling for 16,000 dollars. does that seem like a fair price. and is that to many miles. what is the life span of a corvette. are repairs expensive??

That vette may have sold for between 40 and 50k new. $16 for one with 80,000 on it....sure, seems OK. Maybe try $14,500. Check e-bay for a price check. Too many miles is an open ended question. For me 80,000 isn't too much... is it for you? Repairs on any car these days are expensive. Your buying a vette... not a Ford F150... so skilled machanics are going to be more expensive.

Have fun...
