Chevrolet’s classic Corvette is sports car manufactured by Chevrolet between the golden years of 1968 and 1982. The C3 Chevrolet cars are the third-generation models that were produced only through 1969-1976. Owning a C3 Chevrolet car is a dream of thousands of car connoisseurs all over the world. However, you shouldn’t be carried away simply by the looks of the car, but should also know details and features of the car that you are looking to buy.

You can buy a Corvette any time
There are some rumors about the price drop of Corvettes. Most of the people think that purchasing a Corvette during the fall and winter is the best time because when the bad weather begins, the price comes down. This may have been true in the past; however, today, there is no great difference in prices in different seasons, as people buy cars when they can.

You can do more with a Corvette
Many owners of the C3 Corvette modify the cars to suit their needs and tastes, and if it’s a driver of today, he or she would certainly want to do the same. Chevrolet had made some sacrifices in its cars such as those on goods gas mileage and offering a fixed amount of driving in order to upgrade the car with some other qualifying features. While some owners choose to personalize the wheels and tires, others auto-cross theirs. These modifications do not increase or decrease the car’s value. The purchase and modifying choice purely depend on the buyer’s preference. However, much remodeling might make the car unfriendly for the streets or for everyday use.

Good mileage cars are a better choice
When it comes to good mileage, nothing beats Chevrolet cars. So, if you compare a Chevrolet car with any other car—a car with better mileage, in this case—the C3 Chevrolet is always the better choice. This is because owners of high mileage cars can easily maintain their car better than cars with lower mileage.

Consider the weather
In places like Pennsylvania, the climates are extreme: for six months, it is absolutely warm and for the next six months, it is cold and snowy. Such extremes can be terrible for vehicles. So, most of the C3 Chevrolet owners park their cars in the garage and drive around only when the weather is acceptable for the car. If one drives a Corvette throughout the whole year, the car usually ends up with a rusted exterior. Some go a step ahead and do not even take them out in the rain.

Corvettes do not have high maintenance costs
Contrary to what most people believe, Corvettes do not have high maintenance costs. However, that doesn’t mean that you buy the car blindly; conduct test drives and inspect the car thoroughly before buying.
