80s-90s Corvette
Thinking about purchasing an 80s or 90s Corvette (depends on the price, milage etc...)
Anyone here own(ed) one? What could you tell me about them? |
Yeah, I had a 99 and enjoyed it. I kept it for about two years and resold it. For me it was one of those deals where I had to scratch that itch and after two years, I had done that.

Ive got a 95 convertible. I dont drive it but in the summer. Fun to drive.

These years, the C4s are usually pretty reasonable, as are the C5s, the next generation.
Two years ago, the boss was selling her 36k mile 2001 convertible for $10,000 just to be rid of it before her son started driving. I still kick myself for not jumping on it. It was a very pretty green with a tan top. |

A friend of ours has a 30 mile commute every day and she drive a 90's vette because she can drop it into 6th and get 25 mpg in it.
Just an odd fact. |
If you can swing it, a 97 and up (c5), is a far superior car to the 84-96 (c4).
If you are going to go with a c4, get a 92 or newer. Overall, they are very reliable cars, have good power and excellent handling. The c4 rides fairly harsh, the c5 was a dramatic improvement. |
I'd love to find a used Vette one day.

Love the '96 Grand Sport Corvettes, and '90-'95 ZR1's. But I hardly ever see either of them on the streets anymore.
BTW, any '96 Vette with a manual transmission has the LT4 engine, making it slightly more desirable. |

you dumb ass. :Poke:
:D |
I think the C5 is a tad bit outside of what I can afford. The deals I've been seeing for the C4 better suit what I'm looking for.
I appreciate the info guys. |

The lt1 has more horsepower and can easily make more hp for little money. Also better fuel mileage, and I believe 92 is a 6 speed, if you can find a manual, which I recommend. |
