Buying the 1981 Chevrolet Corvette
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1981 Chevrolet Corvette for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Corvette
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
A good match for

What to expect from the Corvette
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the Corvette on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
