Buying a Corvette for the First time?  The guys at Mid America Motorworks have assembled a listing of tips for you to use, called Corvette For Beginners. 

When John Gunnell and I worked on Mike Yager's Corvette Bible, our intention was to help and assist the first time or novice Corvette buyer from making costly mistakes and to help the Corvette owner wishing to take an additional step into the Corvette hobby make wise choices on their investment. 

Along those same lines, the above information available on this document covers the basic thought process, questions and a handy checklist to assist in evaluating any Corvette you might wish to purchase.
