The 2001 Chevrolet Corvette: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Chevrolet Corvette for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2001 Chevrolet Corvette, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Corvette
Owners filed 205 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, engine and engine cooling and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 5.7L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 11.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 35 litres of fuel. Expect about $20.65 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the Corvette on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
