So everyone agrees that buying a flood car is madness and I tend to agree.

Any car with 'modern' electronics would be a no no, but this is a 2000 C5 Corvette.

It was fresh water flooded in 2016, was put back on the road in 2018 and has been taxed and used for the last 6 years.

Its a manual for a really good price and the owner seems genuine (with a lot of more expensive cars), if this a terrible idea?
 
Hi, really useful info so far, thanks everyone. Additional information:
It's a convertible and has the HUD.
200km on the clock, will get a Carfax done today! Not really worried by high mileage given the age and I am reasonably familiar with a set of spanners and have loads of cheap/competent mechanics available.
Offered at 13k euros, but LHD cars always go for a premium here on the mainland.
Only electrical issue specifically mentioned is ABS sensors, good call on pulling the codes, I already have an OBD2 reader.
It's had a full respray recently due to lacquer peel and seats were also recently upholstered.
It was issued a certificate of export or destruction which the owner has given me a copy of to make sure it's legal in Spain.
