Default Looking at a 2001 Vert

The headline should read 2001! I tried to change it but it would not let me, sorry for the mistake.

Hi, I am thinking about buying a C5 Vert and have found a 2001 Vert, 350/350hp, automatic for 28995 with 36659 miles that intrest me. Is that price high? Does this car require premium fuel? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 64Corvette

That price seems a lil high! I bought my 04 Very for 32,000 w/ 13,000 miles. The prices have dropped since last Feb, I always run the good stuff in the tank though. Good Luck

There are alot of C5's and C6's on the market.

The price shown for that 2001 is high.

YES, ALL C5's and C6's require Premium Fuel

You can do much better.
Good luck.

Reference point for you.

I purchased my '04 vert, 3,800 mile, pristine condition for $32K 2 months ago and that included a full GMPP warranty.

I bought my '01 mag red 6-speed with all options for $27 over a year ago. Private owner.... If you're with a dealer and get a warranty, it's worth something as things do go wrong with low mileage cars.... I had to repair some tranny and rear end leaks after a few monthf of regular driving...

I researched in July for C-5's. I believe that you should be paying in the low 20's. I paid 19K for a 98', 39,700 miles, with a Borla exhaust, garage kept. Yes, they require premium and they do get great mpg!
