Default 1999 C5, was it a good buy?

I just bought a 1999 C5 corvette. It has 36,xxx miles, full Borla exhaust system with LT headers, and CAI. I bought it for 15,000. It has a couple paint chips in the front and on the hood.

Please be nice, still a newbie!

That's not a bad deal. That is less than the going price for Vettes around here with 100k miles it seems (at least when I was looking). Only thing I'd be worried about would be what the winters have done to it up there.

Anthony, you need to provide a lot more info if you want an honest answer. Condition of the car besides the few paint chips? Is the title clear? How many owners and who was the last one? Any maintenance records? Does the car need anything? (tires, repairs of any kind, etc...) Was the car garage kept or left outside for years and years? Any accident history?

Sorry for the really late response, nope clear title everything is clear. The hood is starting to fade but everything runs fine. Only 1 other owner and he was a 80 year old guy.

Gotta love that 80 year old buying the Borla exhaust
Sounds like a sweet deal. Enjoy!!
