In 2014 Chevrolet introduced the C7 generation of their world dominating Corvette, and it was faster, better looking, and better quality than the car it replaced. The previous generation C6 isn't a bad car by any yardstick, but it got walloped hard by the depreciation hammer when the new one appeared on the street, so what was $60k in 2013 is now half priced three years later. Find this 2013 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport offered for $30,000 in Aitkin, MN via craigslist. This

There are a few reasons that this Vette is a bit below the rest of the market, first it was salvaged from a tree falling on it sometime in the past, and then it is a ghastly shade of white, and finally it has an automatic gearbox. But, for about what you'd spend on a well optioned new Ford Focus RS, this thing has a 430 horsepower LS3 V8 and a bunch of speed parts borrowed from the Z06. Not bad.

If I'm doing a C6 I'll go back a couple years earlier and get an '07+ Z06.
ReplyDeleteDoes it come with a matching cooler, folding chair, and straw hat?
ReplyDeleteI almost died of old age watching the Corvettes in my towns 4th of July parade.
