C5 Corvette - Top 8 Reasons it is a Sports Car Bargain

Top 10 reasons the C5 Corvette is a sports car BARGAIN! (Actually 8 reasons...) Although the C5 corvette is 24 years old, it was a huge sports car leap and is still extremely competitive today. Many of these cars were coddled by their middle age owners and are now ripe for the picking. Aftermarket support is huge and this presents an excellent opportunity for the average person to get in on a great sports car!

I just bought a 1997 C5 corvette with 44, 000 miles with a carfax sheet with no history damage for 10, 000.i love it.

I just bought a 2001 6 speed. I freaking love this

I didn’t really get the ‘Corvette’ thing, until I drove a C5 last summer. Left the dealership smiling from ear to ear. Bought it for many of the same reasons you outlined. Too much fun! Great vid.

Had my 2000 C5 with 29k miles back in 2007. Took real good care of it and it's now almost 200k going back and forth to Vegas and Kansas. Knock on wood. 😁😁😁

Bought a C5 4 months ago here in france. Sold my Porsche Boxster first generation. Do not regret the move. Strong and enough power, great look, much better front look than the C6 in my opinion, solid and easy to work on....what else to say other than one of the best look, power, cost ratio. 👍👍

Absolutely love this video. Recently purchased a 99 c5 Corvette with 57000 miles on it. Love it. Now I'm totally hooked on the c5s.

It DOES look like the Batmobile! A true sleeper that has been flying under the radar! I sold an '05 Mustang GT convertible for my 2000 Corvette convertible (in Dark Bowling Green Metallic!) and couldn't be happier!

Beautiful classic design..wow...even today.. fibreglass.. years ahead of everyone else... love the analogue gauges...still looks great today..id take red on black. Here in the UK..they cost much dearer than in the states...great car...

You forgot the Hideaway Headlights.
They beat sun damaged plastic lenses hands down.

[robertyeah]

Excellent video. C5's are top of the line sports cars.

Corvette gives you an amazing driving experience, very addictive

[miamidogcamp]

i GOT A 2003 z06 for 22k 57k miles. So far it has been great. Rear tires are expensive. But i love doing burnouts anyway

[edmusick]

I absolutely love my 1999 FRC Corvette! It checks all the boxes.

[Viper]

I've owned 2 C5 Corvettes and they were both fantastic cars. Very quick and the handling in phenomenal. A great platform for modifying and also good for daily driving.

[waltermiller]

Just got one. Had a c4. Love it's so fast beat new chargers and mustang's all day! Everyone wants to race a vette. Took it to 163mph no problem. And I paid 7, 800!

[anthonythevettedude]

I've owned my c5 for 2years now and when I leave it home to go to work I still break my neck looking at it!!! Plus I just raced my friend in his 2018 Challenger scat pack and litterally we went toe to toe he lost by a car I lost by a fender!!! That's saying something for a 99!!!

[willpowers]

I own a LS3 C6, but, I really like C5's too. I might have to buy another Corvette to keep my C6 company.

[mkernen]

Agree agree agree! My '03 with 26000 babied bone-stock (w/original tires too) miles is show condition inside and out. Only downsides - Someone lost the acrylic top (it's shown on the build sheet but I don't have it) and I have to store it in the winter! I absolutely love this car. Only mod - previous owner had a beautiful tint job done..can't complain about that!

Just bought a 2001 Coupe, Millennium Yellow, last month and I am loving it. Retired a coupe of years ago and It is so much fun to drive this weekend toy. Wish I had bought one earlier.

Used to own one a few years ago. Excellent and fun car. Really miss it. Had to sell due to kids. Now I have a 640 BMW with four seats. Also great car but not the same awesomeness as the C5. 🚗
