I have been offered a 1999 Corvette with 28,000 miles in mint condition
for $20,000. The car is absolutely beautiful and am extremely tempted
to purchase it but just wanted to check to see if it's a good deal. I
don't know much about vettes other than I have wanted one for a number
of years. Are they reliable?

Thanks

Much more reliable than other exotics. Much less reliable than a Camry.

Enjoy and remember to wave!

Im always looking in the Chicago Tribune newspaper at used vettes for
sale, and a 1999 in great shape with 28 k. miles for $20,000 is good
-- not a steal, but still good. Things that would sway me would be if
the last owner(s) babied it, maintained it well, has maintenance
reciepts and repair reciepts, and if it had the equipment on it that you
find favorable. Join a local Vette Club and youll learn alot about it
and have fun going on outings with it. Its truly a neat sub-culture.

Ed, I have been reading this group for years. Owned 3 corvettes.
Every time I buy a car and mention price this group tells me about all
the cheap cars they bought. However........... never has anyone come
through.

I have been looking and 99 corvettes with about 28,000 miles in mint
condition should sell for about ....... $23K I would guess would be
good. Just sold a 96 car with 20K for $19500. Bought for $20K three
years ago. When I bought that car 3 years ago this group said the car
should be bought for around $14 grand. So take it for what it is
worth.

Good luck.

Oh one more thing.... either Dad or bob wrote me a few years ago. If
you want to save money, put it in the bank. If you want to enjoy
yourself, buy it drive it. They are right. Buy the best car you can
afford and you will spend the least amount maintaining in.

Guys,

Thanks for the feedback. I am definitely exited about purchasing this
car and look forward to driving it on the weekends.

Dave,

The car has been babied and is kept in a garage with a car cover. The
car looks brand new.

==================================
I HAD been seriously looking for a 2000 to 2002 Vette (Z06 or
convertible) for the last 6- momnths...and I just bought a 98
with 21,400 miles fro MORE then 20K... Convertible, Z51, 6 speed,
2000 style wheels, aftermarket cat back exhaust.

Spent more for this car that some 2000-2002 cars I looked at BUT
it had everything I wanted plus I could put it in a show this morning
without even dusting it off... its clean.!

I would have passed on a 99 automatic couple for 20 K
BUT thats just me....I did not want a Coupe, nor did I want an
automatic... 20 K is tempting price IF it will satisfy your "needs"
