The 2016 Chevrolet Corvette: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Chevrolet Corvette for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Corvette
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 104 owner complaints on file, mostly about wheels, fuel/propulsion system and power train. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
The 6.2L 8-cylinder is what moves it, 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.
It is rated at 11.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $19.78, and a 300 km weekend about $59.34. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Room inside
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Try before you buy
Rent the Corvette for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Corvette tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.78 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $197.80 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
