Thinking of buying the 2002 Chevrolet Corvette?

Before you sign for the Corvette
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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.
The numbers in plain words
Its 5.7L 8-cylinder drives through 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.
Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $206.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who the Corvette suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Corvette for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Corvette answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
