Is a 1998 vette with 90000 miles a good year for corvettes any none cautions..

Do you mean 1988? A 1998 isn't a C4, its a C5.

Welcome to the forum.

A better choice would be to post in the C5 sections.

To start you off though, try taking a look at the following links.

This post #6 shows a lot of the changes from year to year.

This thread shows a lot of common issues with C5's.

I like all the Corvettes and have had two C5's. You should try and drive a few. The differences between generations is quite big and you may find you like one generation over the others. Most in the C5 sections prefer the later C5's though ('01-'04) because of the changes over the years and the availability of replacement parts.

Good luck.

All Vettes are good cars

Depending on how well it has been maintained, a ‘98 can be a very good car. There are some parts availability issues with the pre-01 models. Read the stickies at the top of the page for more info.

I bought my 98 back in 2012 with 117k and its been a great car. I had to change out the water pump, and 02 sensors, but other than that its been a great car.

I LOVED my 98. She had over 100K miles when I sold her.

I bought my 98 with 20K miles. It now has 145K.
Biggest repair was the clutch slave cylinder at about 75K miles at 12yoa. Everything else was just normal maintenance.
This is a daily driver/long distance commuter.

As long as it was well maintained beforehand then yes.

At 185K miles, my 98 is going strong and still looks good.

Only problem my 98 has it needs a new convertible top. And only thing the left me stranded was the shifter cable connection broke.

5 years ago I bought a 1997 Corvette with 120,000 miles on it. Mostly just regular maintenance ever since

Fcar 98

Real happy with my 98 after 20 years.

Agree with everyone else - a well maintained '98 should be a nice purchase and with continued maintenance give you many years of good service and Fun! As VJ pointed out, there can be some parts issues, though, however there unfortunately are always C5s "going to sleep" that may benefit others with their parts.

I've had a '98 for 11 years in May. Been a great car so far. The problems I've had with it were mostly self induced and easily repaired luckily.

I bought mine 7 years ago it had 14,000 miles. Now it has 50,600. Harmonic balancer, tires, gas and oil are only items replaced. Love it.

I bought new a '98 coupe. It was a great car with minimal repairs needed. I put 82,000 miles on it in five years and really enjoyed it. I traded it in 2003 to buy a new Z06, which I still have at 160,000 miles. I totally find no reason not to recommend buying a '98, excellent choice.
