2001 Chevrolet Corvette

Reasons to buy an 01 ZO6: Right now 01 Corvette ZO6's are an excellent buy. Its actually a great time to purchase any Corvette; prices are down by more than 25% since the summer of 2008. But 01's are specifically an excellent buy. Many over look the 01 and pay a premium for an 02-04 because the LS6 engine output is raised from 385HP to 405HP. But coming from someone who has driven more than a few 01-04 ZO6 Corvettes, the differences between the 01 and the 02-04 are so minute, its hardly worth the added cost associated with the later years. 01's are also a great deal because although they share most of the attributes associated with the rest of the ZO6's they are just a few months short of falling of the financing chart. Most of the banks I looked into when financing this vehicle told me that after 09, this model would be too old to qualify for dealer or personal financing. This is a fantastic arguing point to help you chisle down the price of the vehicle. All the ZO6's are an awesome ride. Comfortable on long drives, yet, handle like they are on rails when you want to drive spiritedly. I find the paint on the C5 Corvettes to be of a better quality, than the C6 even, but that is just my opinion. Overall I highly recommended this vehicle or any other year and or generation of Corvette.

Someone wrote a review stating this to be the "best car i have ever owned". really? You need to buy more cars. This is typical GM product. Made for the masses, built just good enough to lure some folks in that can't quite afford a real sports car...

This is certainly the finest car I have ever driven. I have owned a preious earlier Corvette but this one is twice the older vette. A fun car to drive and an excellent piece of engineering.

Funny you should ask about my purchase. Eventhough it Ebay said I had won the bid the seller said he would not sell the car at the winning price? He said it was a glitch with Ebay as the minimum he would sell the car was much higher than what me bid was therefore he did not sell me the car. Were you aware of that or did he lie and have sellers remorse? I bid $15K and he wanted $21K. That's my story.

car was not as advertized.had damaged front wheel,rear tires were bald and illegal,had 2k miles more than stated,rear wheel bgs. were so noisy at highway speed,that you could hardly hear each other,glove box latch faulty and console latch hard to operate. owner claimed it was legal to drive when I took it for a test drive and insurance papers were expired.which would have resulted in a fine had I been stopped. Upon presenting the problems to owner, she refused to compensate for the defects and refused to sell the vehicle to me.

Gave it to my wife for her birthday. It was worth it too!!! This car is a blast! It was well represented on eBay by the Advantage Cars of Houston, TX. We have been getting lots of compliments on how pretty it is. So far, this has been a great running car and a good investment.

So sweet, sticks to corners like glue and rockets out of them. Great value, I will drive this for 5 years and get back 90% of what I paid for it.

Seller grosely misrepresented cars condition. guages out, scratches, sluggish engine.

Flew to Florida and expected to drive to NJ. We trusted the source we spoke to (ken) @ FJ motors, but the car was not worthy.
He said he would compensate us for some of our expenses but reneged on his word.

I've wanted a vette for as long as I can remember and when the C5 came out I really fell in love. Now that the kids are out of the house I can actually afford the insurance. I recently purchased a 2001 convertible and it is better than I imagined. It is a tight, well put together car and remarkably smooth on the road. Nothing against the C6 vette, but I like the look of the C5 better. Especially the convertible.
