I want to know if the corvette I am intending to purchase is a good deal.
I have never owned a corvette before but now have the opportunity to purchase a mint condition, automatic 1994 coupe from a private party. The car has always been garage-kept and has never seen rain or snow. Although the car only has 2400 miles, I am somewhat concerned because everything is original except the battery, and I am worried about the condition of the rubber parts (tires, hoses, belts, etc) and the fluids, (which have never been changed except for the oil) because the car is 18 years old. Has time degraded the condition of these parts and others that are not so easily visible? Has there been any internal damage because everything is original? What should I look for before deciding to purchase or not? Having so few miles on it may actually be a problem and not a blessing! What do you think? Anyway, the seller wants $15,000, which I believe to be a bit too much. What would be a reasonable offer? What else should I be aware of before I buy?
Any guidance you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!
