My 97 C5
By Mike on 7/16/2026 9:08:09 PM
I bought a 97 C5 corvette a couple years ago. Being a 97 first year of C5 I have had a few issues . The fuel pumps have been replaced and the sending units. The gas gauge still only works sometimes times. The oil pressure sending unit failed twice. The LS1 engine is awesome. It averages 22mpg . The ac compressor went south. Overall I love the car . This is my 4th corvette since 1974. - 5.0

Old Reliable

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.
