Want to buy a corvette c4 worth it Canada
Hello,
I want to buy a 1987 Corvette. It’s been driven around 300,000 km (I was told the mileage doesn’t really affect these cars). I think the paint is in great condition, and it’s being sold for around $6,000. This would be my first car, so I’m not sure if I’m making the right decision, especially considering insurance and maintenance costs.
I’m used to driving Teslas and Mercedes, so I know it won’t be comparable to an older Corvette, but I’ve always wanted one as my first car. However, I’ve heard that they require frequent maintenance/insurance.
For reference I’m a university student and plan to use it to commute to work and school, so I’m also wondering about fuel costs, I’m not too knowledgeable about cars, but I am willing to learn about them.
Nothing major has been modified on the car. I’m thinking of negotiating the price down to around $5,000. The transmission fluid has been changed, and the owner said they haven’t even washed it this year because they barely used it.
Here are some photos of the car. Everyone keeps telling me it’s not worth buying and that a C4 Corvette is more of a project car, while another friend says they’re not the most practical but are actually reliable. Who should I believe?
Tldr: car worth it! I kno it’s been probably asked too many times, but I’m in a rush and have to make a decision asap! THANKS! I checked it out yesterday and it looked nice no issues w it.
I know there’s more to this car other than appearance hence I’m asking! This will be my first manual car.
