C4 Corvette Maintenance Level I've been looking for a 2000-2002 Hawk or WS6 to buy, and haven't had much luck, but I did come across a nice 1992 Corvette with 30k original miles. I'm not sure if this is something I want for a variety of reasons, but I'm certainly considering it. Since I've never really owned a car that was more than 5 years old before, I thought it prudent to ask before thinking on it any further:
Even with such low mileage, will a 15-20 year old car present overwhelming maintenance concerns? Keeping in mind I can't even change my own oil (though I've changed my breaks once or twice), will I find it difficult to own a car of this age, or do low mileage cars generally hold up pretty well over time?
I understand it will likely require some additional work, and maybe I'll even take the opportunity to finally learn something about working on a car, but I can't afford to miss work once a week due to car problems, nor afford to drop hundreds of dollars into it per month.
Any insights are welcome
. Thanks.

Sorry, I meant the question to apply to any older car, really, as if I don't take this one I may consider something else in that age range. But if a moderator could move it to the LT1 section I'd appreciate it. I don't seem to be able to do so myself.
