[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 14410318, member: 15703"] In some cases yes, in others no. The corvette (at least the C6 and below) are actually quite simple mechanically. There's not a ton that really goes wrong with them and fortunately GM figured out the electrical before the introduction of the 06 car. I'd never recommend a 2005 C6 to almost anyone. You really should be looking at an 08 plus if you're set on a C6. Anything else, I'd steer people towards the C5. With that said, some of the tales you hear about high maintenance costs are because the Z06 is lumped in there. That car holds over 9 qts of synthetic oil. If you're having the oil change done, expect to pay close to $100.00 for it. Similarly the manual GS cars that have a dry sump system are similar. A base C6 however is a pretty low cost to own.
