Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / April 2008what do you think
Had a 93 vert loved it, hated ride. Sold it years ago. Bought a 96 lt4 loved everything about it. sold it (stupid) to get a newer vette, but things happened and I could not get it. Both cars sold with about 20K for about 20K. Just found a 01 convertible with 42K miles. This is twice what I had on my cars. Price is right I think, around $24, 000 what do you think. I really love this car and colors. I had a 67 convertible - loved it and sold because of the insurance on someone under 25 in California. Regretted that for years. I got a 74 and later a 92 - always wanted the 67 back. I have a 2000 C5 convertible six-speed with all the options and have no desire to get my 67 back. Car is incredible. $24K is a great price for our area. I bought my 2000 in 2002 for $37K but had to fly to BackWoods, USA to pick it up and bring it back. Same car was $45K in the DC area. I would go to Edmunds.com and get the fair price for the car - I did that and saved $8K. Bob 2000 C5 > Had a 93 vert loved it, hated ride. Sold it years ago.

Did the 92 have the stiff Z51 Suspension ? just curious because if it did you better check what suspension the 01 has... Gas Prices...? well nothing I can say will change them all I know is that my 98 6Sp (Z51) Convertible actually gets better gas milage then any of my other Corvettes or my truck which I drive daily ...overall gas millage over its 25,000 mile life is 24.7 mpg.. and it would be more if I could keep my right foot out if it a little more...! .

And that is the weird bitch of it. My experiences are right about the same, 24/25 mpg. Yet on smaller vehicles with V-6 engines the gas MPG is worse. The absolute worse of the fleet is the 4.6 V-8 in my Wife's Lincoln Aviator, bitch (car not wife) is about 12/14 and required high octane to run right. Signature"Before all else, be armed" -- Machiavelli On my 2000 6 spd convertible, I have gotten as high as 34 mpg highway indicated on the DIC. Day to day with heavy foot etc. is 24/25 like everyone else. I drove a Prius with a light foot and was able to get 50 mpg indicated on their DIC. I can get 27 mpg on my wife's Seville Northstar - she has a heavy foot and the gas bills run high on that car. >>> Had a 93 vert loved it, hated ride. Sold it years ago.

I have a cadillac, subaru, nisssan and an 85 celica. Check out my celica on craigslist. It is worth a look. This is not a pitch, I alreay have someone coming down to look. I just think it is kind of unique. https://accounts.craigslist.org/post/shwpst?pii=633017476&db=lv > > Had a 93 vert loved it, hated ride. Sold it years ago.

Also getting an altima hybrid or some cheap > great economy car for every day. Man the price of gas Hello again Bob. I remember back when I complained about my 93 and was looking at a 96, you wrote back the ride should be about the same. I know you have had many cars. Heres the thing, the 93 vert had too much flex and the seats are very tight. I loved the ride in the 96 glass top (compared to the convertible) and I like the seats so much, I almost went back to find another LT4 instead of the c5. The glass top just gave me much more confidenct to drive hard. FYI, The 96 was a standard set up and the c5 is standard as well. Drove it. No cowel shake and stiff enough. Still a tourer. Gas mileage: Both the 93 and 96 got around 14 around town and as much as 28 on hwy. No complaints. I want a hybrid for day to day work vehicle as it just seems like a good thing to do. Thanks for your help |
