Advice for 1st Corvette
87Z51:
C4's are currently at their lowest cost locally as reflected by the price in the USA.They will only increase over time as the C3 have done .notwithstanding that C4's are not the favourite Vette model with purists.
It is currently a buyers market as despite the resale comments above ,in order to sell a car you must have a buyer.
Have a look at the cars on ebay that don't sell in the $20 -25K range.
Many people here have far more $$ invested in their car than what the market will currently pay so they can't afford to sell.
Corvette are specialist cars,they only appeal to a select market.
Buy one and enjoy it; just don't expect to sell it the first time you put it up for sale.
If you have any mechanical ability ,personally I would buy the cheapest sound ( not POS ) car that appeals to you and rebuild what ever is need.
These are 20 year old cars; a nice paint job and good interior may not be a true reflection of the true state unless the seller can prove work done.Check for a RHD conversion done by a quality workshop

A bargain if you ask me!

Everything that Vette Obsessed has said is right on.
In Melbourne you have two choices for clubs.
Corvettes of Melbourne
or
Vic Vettes
They share a lot of members and are friendly to new people, every people not yet with a Vette (I was a CoM member for maybe 4 or so years before buying my 87)
Also, simple statement.
Buy as new as you can afford.
Buy the best you can afford.
And it's a long drive, but get GoTech down in Frankston to do you check over any cars you like, or Corvette Factory in Blackburn.
Or you could just buy my 87 :24
