Used 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Consumer Reviews
Great Bang For The Buck
2001 Black Conv. 6 speed with Z51, 1SC, QF5, and U1S options. Pros: Great handling, acceleration and basic fun. Cons: Car burns oil at the rate of 1qt per every 2000 miles (dealer monitoring in place). Some cheap interior bits. Overall: Eye-turning, fun-to-drive excitment for a bargin basment price when compared to the competition.
problems wth my corvette
The first two years I had the car it was nothing but problems.Check engine light coming on constantly.I tried to resolve my issue with GM but all they could offer me was oil changes,finally I contacted Better Business Bureau and within a week I was getting somewhere with the problems.This was a leased and I wanted a car that was dependable,being in the State of Nevada there is a lemon law three strikes and it's history or compromise.Finally GM settled with a five year or 60000 miles powertrain warranty.Thanks to Better Business Bureau.Will move on to European models it was fun but the aggravation it put me through wasn't worth buying another GM product.

Love my '01 Corvette !!!
The ownership experience has been wonderful. I have had her since 2004. There aren't too many negative things I can say about this car. There are MSANYpositives to mention though. She is like a member of the family at this point. Runs like a dream and overall is very comfortable and has GREATcargo storage room for a sports car.

My first Vette
I've had 6 cars in 2 years. Tried the 09 370z fun fast garbage. Then a bmw335itturbo engine went in a month, next a Porsche boxster pure sports car, I loved the hidden midengine power and triptronic shift took it in for service a leak was found and 16.000 for a new trans never happen, I've always loved the Corvette and the c-5 was just a really classy design so I found one tested her and bought it. I haven't had a Chevy since 88 I've stayed with Dodge and still have my durango great quality and service, Chevy hasn't changed a bit poor service they lie and here's an example, if your mechanic don't know what 275/45/18 is and you ask the service manager the same and the answer is worse, that says it all. Run!
2001 Corvette 6 Speed Convertible
Have had this car for almost 5 years repairs have been minimal almost always is something that wore out . handling of this car is GREAT acceleration is GREAT I am wanting to replace Stereo and Bose speakers with something bluetooth but as for as changing anything else no that will not happen. If you have a chance to own one of these magnificent machines do it. I plan on leaving it to my son and would like him to pass it along so my grandson/granddaughter can drive same car I drove. This is an amazing car
