Default What do you guys think?

I am still looking for a C4. I ran across a red 92. It has 25000 miles. The man said that it has been in storage most of its life. I like the rear end a little better on the 92 better than the 89 I have been looking at. I am wanting something to make a few road trips in and my 78 just insn't going to work. So tell me what you think.

I'd always recommend buying the most recent Vette that you can afford. How much is the 92 you are looking at?

Yup, every year the Vette gets better, for example in 1993 the Vettes got 10 more torque, better than nuthin. The 92 sounds like a nice car. I bought my 95 with 50k on the clock and it drives great :cheers:

You don't have to ask twice, go with the '92! It will be better than the '89. IMO, the LT-1 look is light years newer appearing than the L98 styling.

I vote for the 89' Just because nobody else did and if the 92' is a big lemon at least I'm not one the guys that suggested he buy it. :lol:

But what if the '89 turns out to be a bomb :eek: Just kidding :lol: Meanwhile, is the '92 a roadster or coupe and how is it equipped. :confused: Let us know what you decide on and if you have any questions about the LT-1.
Good luck

92's rock way better than a 80 "whatever". Do a vehicle check to see if any hidden surprises :yesnod:

I took my dad to look at it today. He noticed that the paint has ran around the fender. What does this suggest? I told them I would get back. My dad is going to Pensacola on business this week and is going to look at the corvette place. I want to take my time and get what I really want, but it is hard not to get the first one I see. Thanks for your help.

I actually like the L98 rear end, its the front bumper I don't care for. I also don't like the black molding but on a black car it doesn't bother me :)
