Ok, so I know I should be shopping for a Benz. But my eye has been drawn to a Vette lately. I've never owned one(I've had 4 Benzs), and I'm at the right age(58). I'm too toy broke to buy anything very new or expensive, and I don't REALLy care about going 0-60MPH in 3.5 seconds, as fun as that sounds.
Sooooo....the old-school C4 is kinda what I'm looking at. Relatively cheap to buy, cheap to insure, parts aren't TOO expensive, and it's actually easy to find a clean one with low miles for well under $10k.
Anyone here got any good/bad experiences with 'em? I have an old high school friend back up in Washington state with a '94, and it's the best thing since sliced bread to him. But I found a 'vette web site with a list of "Common problems with the C4", but my friend says he's never experiences anything on the list except that weird Opti-spark distributer thingee they used on the L98's back then. He's gone thru 3 of them at about $1200 a whack
