So far all the vehicles i have owned have been honda or toyota products but i have wanted a corvette since i was a kid. I know most people in general feel american vehicles require a bit more maintenance as they get up there in miles. Im looking into a 05 or up vette coupe with a manual tranny. Other than the tires and possibly higher insurance costs what do i need to know about when it comes to maintenance? I will be buying an extended warranty through carmax that will take the car upto 150k miles (total) or next 6 years for all mechanical and electrical things in the car. Any other costs i need to know about? They seem to be pretty good on gas mileage. It will be my daily driver.
