questions for LS3 Corvette Owners

Devil-eyes · 08-10-2009, 12:24 AM

im planning on buying a used LS3 Vette in the next year or so. i was wondering if there are any LS3 Vette on here that can tell me some info.

i will be around 24 when i get my Vette and i was wondering how is the insurance going to be? i heard that the insurance is low on the Vette's becuase many people who drive them are old (no offense to owners) and dont get many claims. can someone varify that?

also im looking to get one for around $33k..im planning on putting $3k as Down payment..can anyone guess how much it be for the monthly payment?

Cheers

To get a really good idea, just go by or all your agent and ask them. who better. Go to the source.

No one here can answer this for you. Rates vary so much depending on age, where you live, and your past history. Go and see your insurance agent. They are the only one who can answer this.

Without more information, we can not answer this either. Google Loan Calculator and you can figure this out yourself.

Why would you do that when the SVT Cobra is like a billion trillion times better ?!?

Devil-eyes · 08-10-2009, 08:53 PM

how is it better? the Vette is in a different league

better handling, better interior, better gas mileage the only thing the cobra has is the SC sound which is badass but il just SC a LS3 and have the best of the best.

Whoa! I am doing the opposite. I'm looking for the thirty thousand range but I'm aiming for 20,000 down payment. I'm the same age as you so I'm kinda interested to see some of the answers on this too.

Wow. Makes me cringe when I think of how yours compares to my 27k down on a 60k car plan....

A Lexus...duh! .....

I can't even say that with a straight face.

No, I just meant compared to some thoughts I've had about buying a Vette. If I did, I'd get a comfortably optioned Grand Sport which starts at 55k.

Ahhhhh....

I was silently hoping we'd have a mod on the Forum with a CTS-V...
