New to C6’s
 

Hello all. New to forum, but not new to vettes. I currently have a 98 C5 vert, and am looking to buy a C6. Have a friend who is selling a 2010 GS with 14k and would like to know if I need to look for anything special. I really like my C5, but it is getting older, and I want to be able to take some road trips without worrying about breaking down on the road. Any thoughts or suggestions. The car has been maintained immaculately.

Really, No thoughts or advice from anybody on here?

A good bit here do not have Vettes, that's why you see the low post count numbers in the generation's sub-forums. VB has transitioned to basically political and current topical subjects for discussion, with a large bit of humor and sarcasm.


I had a '10 GS, did a 30 day bucket list trip around the country, traded in for a '14, had 57K on it, and not one bit of trouble except replacing a couple sets of worn tires.

Have a good auto tech go over the car. Good luck.

I currently have 2 C6Z's and have also previously owned 2 C6 coupes. The '06 coupe I drove to 88k miles.

Issues I've had to fix over time in all 4:

• Auto trans shifter connector replacement (Coupe)
• Crankshaft Position Sensor (Z06)
• Crank Pulley bolt (Coupe)
• Stick shift lower assembly (Z06)

All in all, they've been pretty reliable. My '09Z has 38k miles and was bought with 26k miles 5 years ago. Other than the shifter, it's been pretty reliable.

I won't go into details on the '08Z and all of the stuff that broke over the years, but it's been racing since Day 1 and is about to be on its 3rd engine. :lol:
