I decided to buy this vehicle be caused I assumed it was a reputable dealer. The car had been in an accident and was not disclosed by Southdown Hyundai. Not only did they not tell me about the previous collision damage, it was not repaired completely. The cosmetic bodywork was completed, but there was mechanical damage. The front-end was pushed into the engine, radiator fan, and bent the crankshaft pulley which caused misalignment of the fan belt, which caused the fan belt to fail after about a 150 miles of use. While the car was at the dealership getting the belt replaced the mechanic noticed this mechanical damage. I then contacted Southdown Hyundai and they would not accept responsibility for the previous damage. Do not buy from this dealer!

The 1994 Corvette takes a lot of criticism about not having the best body styling but, no one can say that they are not packed full of performance. Just drive one!

I bought mine just expecting a good Corvette ride and handling. I also expected to have to do some modifications to make it handle better and pump up the power in the engine.

Make no mistake, at 300 rated horse power, this car is UNDER rated. It feels more like 500. The 6 speed zf transmission is pleasant to shift and has just the right gearing to get the power to the ground. I did unhook the skip shift which I found was down right annoying.

The handling on this car is incredible as well. It feels like a slot car. The 285/40/17 tires stick to the road like glue. I have run through the winding mountain roads in Colorado with ease, barely backing off through even the tightest of turns. The handling really put the fun back in driving for me.

It isn't all fun and games though. Just like you would expect from a Ferrari, the parts prices for this car are quite different from the average Chevy. Cap and Rotor for the distributor are over $200 as is the water pump. The distributor is in the front of the engine down by the crank shaft which can cause some problems. The point here is they are expensive to maintain so be careful when buying one as people tend not to maintain them well. Also if you don't do your own work they can be very expensive. For example a tune up from my local dealer was quoted at $1300.

Overall I was looking for a hotrod that handled well. I got more than I bargained for with this 1994 Corvette. I highly recommend getting one!

I consider myself a very lucky person for my recent purchase of a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette. I had been looking for a long time on EBay for the right vehicle, I wanted a 78 or 79, I wanted it to have the spoilers and I really wanted red. I had never driven this year vintage vette before. According to everyone involved during the process of getting the Vette from NC to Ne, I am very lucky to have received such a nice vehicle in the shape it was in. The car drives excellent, the steering is tight and it has a nice smooth ride on the road. This has the 245/70 tires with the original 15-8 wheels. It only has 59,600 actual miles and drives like it too. I recently upgraded the console bezels and put in a new stereo system, replacing the original 8 track. I thought I would be able to live with that old technology but being an audio engineer, I just couldn't handle not having a big sound coming from that car. While under the dash I replaced all the (28 year old) light bulbs. I have plenty of little projects for my vette but because my seller was a very honest man, nothing that wasn't described in the auction. That's the key to buying this vintage of a vehicle, read the descriptions and ask questions! If there is not a picture of something, ask for one. The other thing to consider for buying a late model vette is: there is allot of part suppliers and support out there. My favorite is Ecklers, they have everything and their website is absolutely the best I've experienced. Just put in your vette year and it only displays the parts and accessories for that year. If you're thinking of getting a 1979 Vette, I recommend it. Know going into it that you never know what is underneath the dash, carpet or hood until you get in there. Because it's 28 years old (2007) and it probably has had multiple owners, each one has probably gone in and made some kind of alteration to their likes. Bottom line, if you get a good one, this is a great riding car. Easy to find parts and plenty of documentation out there to guide you through do-it-yourself projects. It's a head turner and gets allot of attention out on the road. Good luck and good buying to you. JRGIV

The 1988 Challenge Corvette is, undoubtedly, a unique vehicle. Any temptation to see this vehicle as a product of the big hair 80s is quickly dispelled but the roll cage you must negotiate to enter the custom fitted sports seat. This is, after all, a factory prepared race car. Every car - the same, from the motor to the transmission. Only 56 were made in 1988 and because of this fact, it's future collectibility is firmly established. So there will be little track time in this car, and precious little cruising. It's days of sliding from one corner the to next, virtually ended. It's time on the podium at Barrett Jackson still several years in the future. But, when it's ready - she'll be there returning a tidy profit.

Great looking car. excellent ride once you remove wallet from back pocket. Thought about stick shift but after first traffic jam thankful for automatic. Have the ""real 40th anniversary" Ruby red Convertible (not a vett if not a rag top.)with all the bells and whiskers. Bought it with 60,000 on it, 2006, 1st vett. Bose radio fine as long as your not into great sound. Convertible has poor placement of bose controller. $280.00 to replace with rebuilt, also problematic cd player. Another $180.00 to repair. Lots of work to put in after market radio. Plenty fast enough for a 60's hot roger. Stock exhaust quite but easy fix. It is easy on gas 24+ Hwy.
Had to fix headlight lift assembly. Really simple and cheep once you
learn how. Fun car and reasonably priced now. Need to be drivn not stored. JDR
