I wanted an '89 coupe with a 6 speed. I found one at a good price. It seems that if you want one with no problems, you will have to pay an unbelievable price. Inexpensive cars are available but they will all need work, regardless of what the seller says. Expect to work on all areas; engine/drivetrain, interior, exterior, accessories.
If you want a car that has no squeaks that is trouble and maintenance free then this is not a good car for you.
However, if you want an extremely fun car to drive. A car that was the world class sports car of its day. A car that can get your adrenaline pumping (and scare you if you aren't careful). A car that will have you looking for reasons to drive. A car that has personality, unlike 95% of the economy cars today.
I get 17 mpg in town. 28.5 mpg highway
Difficult entry/ exit, but once again....it's personality.
Trouble points specific to this Corvette: Instrument panel blanking ($150), headlights ($300), injectors ($180)
I love the quirks and the obvious attributes, but not for everyone.
Be ready to spend $1000 after the sale. It is a 20 yr. old car, so regardless of how truthful the seller is...change all fluids and belts, and give a good look at hoses, the tune-up, brakes, tires, etc.
