Old Reliable
By Garebear on 3/12/2025 11:26:28 PM
Bought this car from the original owner in 2015. Ten years later it is still in excellent condition. Has 120002 miles now. 52000 when bought in 2015. No major issues at all. Just regular maintenance and care. Fun to drive between 75 and 140 mph. (desert between Tonopah and Las Vegas). I got 29 mpg on that trip. (Seattle to LVN). VERY COMFORTABLE RIDE. - 5.0
Great Car

Our 97 Corvette has had some issues but its fun factor really overshadows the issues. It gets 25 mpg. We have replaced the oil pressure sensor twice. We replaced both fuel pumps. The ac compressor had a leak so we replaced it. It has been taken very good care. The paint is amazing . Ours is Carmine Red. This is my 4th Corvette. This is a keeper.
