Car financing: the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2017 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. Owners filed 257 complaints with NHTSA, most often about wheels, steering and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 6.2L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 7-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.
It is rated 12.3 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $21.53 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the Corvette is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
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. Rent the Corvette first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Corvette on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,350 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.
