Best underrated Corvette ever.

The most amount of performance, style and attention for the least amount of money. I bought an LT-4 Collector's Edition in mint condition and we'll maintained for less than $15k. Maintenance is inexpensive and easy to do by yourself. The clamshell hood and flip-flop headlights are unique in this day and age. It may not be as quick or fast as more modern Corvettes but there's plenty of power to put a smile on your face and a frown on the local constabulary. Currently (2019) under valued and near the bottom of depreciation. In a few years I maybe able to resell with very little to no loss in my investment.

Not for everyone, but I love it

Always in style, still decent performance, comfortable enough, decent gas mileage, plenty of room. This car gets attention wherever I go. And its proven to be a great investment, having been offered more then I payed for it.

Beautiful Classic

This car is beautiful inside and out and in excellent condition to be 23 years old with only 54000 miles. We searched for months to find the perfect one, for the condition and price.

The most fun I ever had with a car.

This was the last year of the C4's and Chevrolet really went all out making this final year special. This car came with a LOT of extra features that make the car so much better. It has been trouble free and very reliable.

Owned for over 16 yrs.

One of my favorite cars. Never had any major issues and it never left me stranded. I can't say enough about how much fun these cars are. Still gets plenty of attention when driving. Excellent value. Great handling and power for such a cheap price.
