Buyer's Guide: 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette | Buy Now, or Not?
When Chevrolet introduced the all-new fifth-generation Corvette, it was major news in the industry and for enthusiasts. The C5, as it came to be known, proved to be a leap ahead of its predecessor, and sold in large volume, but has it stood the test of time? We’re taking a deep dive into the 1997-2004 Corvette to get into its details, the good and the bad, and to point out some of the trouble areas you should be aware of when considering a C5 purchase. For this video, we’re going to focus on the standard-model Corvettes, including the coupe, the convertible, and the fixed-roof coupe of 1999-2000, but we’ll leave the top-level Z06 for a more focused look in the future. In the meantime, we’ll delve into the rest of the C5 line to determine if this generation of the Corvette is yesterday’s news or a prime performance value. #buynow #buyersguide #Corvette #Chevrolet #Chevy #C5 #1997 #1998 #1999 #2000 #2001 #2002 #2003 #2004 #HemmingsMarketPlace #howtobuy #driver #values #trend #hemmingsmarketplace @hemmingsmotornews Visit the Hemmings Marketplace to find a 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette.
