The 2000 Chevrolet Corvette for buyers

Before you sign for the Corvette
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 278 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, service brakes and electrical system. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The powertrain here is the 5.7L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual. 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.
Plan on about 37 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. At 4.48 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
A good match for
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the Corvette answers more than any brochure. Rent the Corvette first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
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. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
