2004 Corvette Conv 6 speed Summary:
Here is the deal - I am a used car dealer and can drive any car on the planet - it is one of the perks! I buy what I want, drive it and sell it - simple as that. I have personally owned over 60 cars and driven just about everything there is. I bought a 2002 C5 Conv at dealer auction in May 04 and drove it for around a month before selling it - quickly. THe minute it was gone I regretted it. Instead of buying another at auction I took advantage of the massive discounts on 2004's making room for the C6. Another dealer gave me a great deal - MSRP $57K. See price paid above...I flew from Atlanta to Pittsburgh to buy car and drove it 700 miles back to Atlanta - smiling all the way. There is something magical about the car, I cannot explain it. That raw, American V8, the road feel, the tracking. It is such an easy car to drive, much easier than a 2002 M3 I just sold. AND everybody loves a Vette, smiles, waves from all. The HUD is just about the coolest gadget I have ever seen on a car. Too much. The power on tap and the mileage are insane! My M3 got 17 MPG and I babied it. This car just got 27MPG with the AC running, top up. Such a beautiful machine and for the money - it cannot be beat. Also, after driving all the euro machines, I am proud to be in a home grown machine that gives me more satisfaction and pleasure than any other car I have driven. Strengths:
Styling, power at all ranges, gas mileage, value, HUD Weaknesses:
Interior trim quality should be better and it could be accomplished easily. The C6 will do better.
The stereo is good but could use a boost as well. Similar Products Used:
M3, 330Ci, 540 6 speed, M3, Audi S6
