There is a 04 C5 Corvette at a Corvette Specialist lot about 10 miles from my house. I'm going to check the car out today or tomorrow.

I was hoping to get some opinions on the C5.

Is it a good car?

Are they reliable ?

Personally I think Chevy makes a pretty good gas engine. I was hoping to get some feedback about the 99-04 vettes.

I was gonna sell my 96 Z28 and Dodge Cummins to buy it.

Thanks !

Opinions ?

 

Thats the best looking 'Vette IMO. Is it a ZO6?

 

No, its a C5...I went and looked at it today...Its just what I want...except....ITS AN AUTOMATIC !

a Z06 would be nice though Haha...a little out of my price range...

This one is going for 25k

But I don't want an auto. I haven't given up yet, I'm gonna go check Houston eventually and see what they have. I live in Beaumont, TX

 

Yeah, a six-speed is the way to go. If you're going to spend money on a car, get the one that you want. You don't want to regret anything after buying a car.

 

Yea I agree 100% man. Buy once, and get what you're looking for.

The only thing here, is that the Vette is gonna be my daily driver. And I hate to sell my two cars and buy a car that's gonna require a bunch of maintenance down the road.

 

didnt you just say you wish you had a stick lol

 

Yes, thats why I'm telling this guy to buy one. Thats the only thing that I regret when buying my car, but I'm happy with my decision to buy it though.

 

$25k? Woof! There's at least one nice thing about living up here in a colder winter climate....winter prices. There's a millennium yellow 04 near me on craigslist, 26k miles, 6 speed, for $19,500. It'd be worth it for you to do a fly up & drive it down deal (if you're far away that is).

 

Really? Man, where do you live, if you don't mind me asking.

I'm in Texas.

 

Suburbs of Chicago. It's really starting to become a buyers market for summer cars. I'm half tempted to get one just to sit on for the winter and sell it in the spring. Here's the 04, and wow, I noticed the price went down $500 too (they didn't mark it down in the heading): http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ctd/2080773615.html
