I don't post seeking accolades. I post to amuse myself. Think of me what you will.

If you can't afford the maintenance then don't buy the car. Since the car is over 100k i don't think the maintenance is a big factor. Besides if the corvette is so well built then why do they have a 3yr/36 and Porsche has a 4yr/50?

Not sure what model the car is but it looks like a whole lot north of 100K. Heck, a nice full-size diesel truck is 100 large nowadays.
