Go over the car with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is intact. These cars are not like standard cars, in which low mileage is a good thing. Low mileage in these cars means that the prior owner has not had enough time in the car to properly sort out any build issues that it may have. They all have at least minor build issues. Go slow until you get used to the power and handling characteristics of the car.

Good luck.

Thanks for advice. I have been long time corvette owner coming from the Z06 and 60th anniversary 427 edition models now to the BDR. Mileage on my Roush 427 is 2800 and I have the car getting a service and few other goodies done at BDR down in boynton.
