Thinking of buying the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Corvette
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 5.7L 8-cylinder, with 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 35 litres, from its 11.8 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.65, and a 300 km weekend about $61.95. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Corvette in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Corvette on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the Corvette answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Still deciding?
