5 TIPS & RULES For Buying A Chevy C7 Corvette
Hello everyone and welcome back to Brink of Speed! Today I will be going over my tips and rules to buying a C7 Corvette successfully. I hope this helps anyone out there looking to purchase a C7 Corvette!
1: First decide if you want a brand new Corvette or if you are good with a used one.
Rule 1: Always try to find a Corvette with very low miles if you’re buying used.
2: Next, do your research and figure out which model you truly think you need and of course want. Get online and look at all the different options and packages for the C7 Corvette.
Rule 2: Don’t buy a Z06 or ZR1 just to say you have one, those cars are too much power for most people.
3: Do more research to find where you want to go buy one, or you may decide to buy one online. In this scenario, make sure to do even more research.
Rule 3: Don’t ever buy a Corvette that has been modified.
4: Once you’ve picked which Corvette you think you want, go drive one and make sure you really want it after you drive it.
Rule 4: Don’t ever buy a Corvette with several previous owners, especially if the warranty is already expired.
5: Now, if you have decided to buy new, right now is probably the best time to do so, as they are currently giving huge discounts on C7 Corvette’s. If you, however, decided to buy used, whether it’s online or through a dealership, make sure you find a place like Corvette World here in Dallas that won’t buy anything unless it’s in top condition. They literally will go to buy Corvette’s and see 20-30 of them and not come home with a single Vette because they are that picky about overall condition.
Rule 5: Always go into the dealership with a plan and pre-approved financing from your bank or credit union.

How do you feel about Corvette Warehouse down the street?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

theoneb22000 I actually don’t know, I haven’t been there but I guess I should.

[@theoneb22000]

@@BrinkofSpeed dang. Got one of your cards from Corvette World. They had a high mileage Zo6 for 49k at Corvette Warehouse. It definitely wasn't in tip top shape but they have a restoration process supposedly before being sold.

[@williamegler8771]

I have owned several Corvettes and Porsche 911's. I have NEVER treated them as investments because after all more are made everyday and aren't particularly rare. I have used them all as daily drivers and usually put up to 150 k on them before selling or trading them. Life is too short to have a garage queen that you seldom drive hoping it will appreciate....

[@biffbifford402]

Agree. Doubt you’ll ever talk to a 95 yr old guy in the hospital and him say, “my one regret is I wish I would have left my Corvette in the garage more.” Had a neighbor that only drove his corvette 2 or 3 times a year. Never understood this mentality. I drove my corvette every decent weather day I could. Probably had more miles driven with the top down than up.

[@rickylomax0078]

I would negotiate price before I mentioned I was financed. I would get finance or cashiers check 5-10 grand less than asking price. Then negotiate from there.They will not let u walk out but u have to be willing to walk out. Always create sense of urgency Tell them u have a appt in 3 hours or u have to pick up the children. Don’t feel bad about lying. Remember these are not ur friends. Their job is to take the most amount of money out of your pocket your job is to keep the most amount of money in your pocket

Another great Vlog Mike! People always ask me why I didn't purchase the Z06, and my answer is always the same.. "I knew for a fact that I would not use all that power. Years ago, sure without a doubt. Now I just wanna cruise with my Wifey!" I have the look I wanted, and a Special Car to boot, and the Grand Sport is more than enough power to have fun spiriting driving lol. General Lee Out!

General Lee Thank you General! Yep, the Z06 is a blast, but GS is more practical in a non practical scenario lol! Your car is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so happy you guys love it! 😊

This is probably the best C7 buyers guide out there I would love to see you do a video on the options one LT two LT and three LT but for buying purposes only you cannot beat this video thank you Michael

[@sinsationalsounds]

I have been waiting for the c 8. as a previous 30 year 1 owner c4 always garaged i finally let it go to a youngster. With No chance yet on getting the c 8 I searched and found a local 16k mile c7 z06 in top notch condition with every color combo and option i wanted. and then some. I got him down after a month or so to 60k. He was the short term second owner. The first that bought it and then traded in for a audi supercar. This car is a beast and beautiful as well. car fax was cleaner then the windshield that is virtually perfect. Thank you for all your car talk on the C7. Keep it up.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Maybe they bought it with the intention of correcting everything before reselling or something but yeah this was an odd statement 😂

[@StevenCastaneda]

Lol he hella contradicted himself

[@TheMarioMen1]

Came here after the “how to buy c8” video🏎 sadly there’s not much room for negotiation on those they’re just too much demand. Before C8 would buy a 5.0 Mustang over a corvette they just didn’t look that good to me, the C8 though I’m in love with

[@richardparker733]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Chock full of Corvette information. At first I held my breath thinking this is going to be more trivia but it wasn’t. I learned a lot. Great salesmanship! I want power and the ZR 1, if I understood properly, has top availability of power on board. Also I’m a big fan of the wider base chassis and field stance. I love all the corvettes. I would be delighted to have any of them. I know all of them are fast cars and deliver more than enough power for every day usage.

[@doughooks7411]

Great info. I totally agree with the advice to not buy if dealer will not let you drive. However, the C8 is limited in that aspect because nobody has them. I do disagree somewhat on the mods. I did a stage three build through Vengeance Racing that added 130 RWHP to my Z06. It is now a monster and I have much more confidence in the car with traction control off because they are my inputs. Everything was bolt on without going into the engine with heads, cam, etc. Your videos are awesome.

[@Tomgillchevy]

Some really helpful comments here from someone that clearly has valuable experience to pass along. Thanks for a great video!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Tom Gill Chevrolet Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement and you’re welcome! 😊

[@rbatts9163]

Some decent tips . Definitely know what you want before you purchase your corvette . As far as buying a modded Vette . Roots style blowers that Callaway or Lingenfelter offers. If installed by reputable dealer . I don’t see this as a problem . Most of the time guys don’t even track these cars . Plus the potential future buyer is getting extra goodies that are high valued for less . Just make sure the seller has all the documented work. Not exactly fair to use your past C6 Z06 as an example like that .

[@clerissonmesquita]

Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.

[@jamesjkmorrison7355]

I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything on doing it the correct way, thanks

[@johannesvanhoek9080]

I disagree with you on one point, and that’s when it comes to the amount of owners, you stated that no one should buy one from anyone other than a one owner, let me explain, I have a 2019 GrandSport I bought from a one owner the car had 4400 miles on it, the car now has 4700 miles on it a year later, if I were going to sell the car which I am not, someone would still be getting a very special car from a second owner, I’m sure you get my point and I do understand your ! 😊

[@ZmanZ06]

I'm still trying to understand why people are afraid of buying a Corvette that was "hot rodded" or tracked. These cars are designed for the track. They are designed to go fast and stop fast. If a car is being driven the way it was designed to be driven what's the issue?? They weren't made to be babied and stored in a garage to look at. A good friend of mine use to work at the GM proving grounds here in AZ. His words..... These cars were designed to "take it". I guess I just don't get it. You're not going to "hurt" the Corvette by driving it the way it was intended.

[@robertvedder4935]

As far as buying a corvette that’s been modified, I found this C7 in my town that’s got some simple transmission issues it locks out of 3rd and sometimes grinds in 3rd but my dads got a transmission shop that he can help fix it up. As far as modifications, it just has some pretty bad after market wheels everything else I believe is stock. Would you steer away from that?

[@joelpierce3940]

I am glad I bought new, but I probably could have gotten a few more options buying used. I am happy with 19 2LZ. I would have liked the Comp seats, but am happy with the cast iron brakes on the track. Just get a reliable alignment from someone who knows how to set Caster in the rear. I have only added some aero bits, mostly for protection, like rock guards. The Lt1 is really great in a Camaro SS 1LE, a great motor.

[@andrewpaterson1152]

I bought local with the Lamborghini. Mainly because of the low miles and condition. Corvette I bought new. Great thing with new is Ron Fellows school is discounted. You may mention that I just haven't made it through the vid all the way yet.

What is considered high mileage on 2015 Z06?

[@Theclassiccarnut]

you mentioned not buying a car with mult owners but Corvette World sells C7's with multiple owners. So not sure if they get the cream of the crop like you say.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Theclassiccarnut that is correct, and it really depends on what you’re willing to go with as far as miles and age of car. I just wouldn’t recommend buying a one or two-year-old car with three or four owners. Don’t get me wrong, the car can still be a very clean and beautiful car but there might be a reason that it has had so many owners in such little time.

[@juliedewyer1366]

#1 NEVER talk payments at a dealership! They always want to talk payments because when you do, they know they've got you. ALWAYS talk price, especially OTD price. #2 There's nothing wrong with some mileage on the car. A garage Queen with low mileage might fail the 1st time it's used as designed. A little mileage with all the maintenance records is better than a garage Queen that's been sitting most of its life. #3 Corvettes are one of those kind of cars that tend to go through owners rapidly. Having multiple owners is not a big issue if the car has been well taken care of and properly maintained. If all of the maintenance records have been passed along with the vehicle and everything is accounted for that should have been done, then it's probably still a good vehicle. Remember these cars are largely known for their reliability and low maintenance. If the car has been maintained properly, they can last for a long long time. I'm no expert, but I personally don't agree with most of what this guy is saying. There are many experts who would disagree with what he says. Get information from multiple sources, not from just one person. 😉👍

[@tomfox1751]

Very good point about power you can handle. Take a look at corvette forum--there are always a large number of Z06's for sale because people "had to have the power" and found out it is more than they can handle (similar to snowmobiles--you see a ton of 850cc and few 600's. An 850 is 165 hp on a 500# machine--3#'s per horsepower! A 600 is 125 hp and plenty of power for most people). Prices finally coming down on used C7's--shop wisely and enjoy!

[@Orgazmicsausages]

I feel that same way on modified cars too, but it’s sept/oct 2019 and there is a 3 owner 2014 Z51 3LT 49,000 miles rounded up clean title that’s been pro charged and maybe few bolt on’s. What’s the take on that . Price is very very reasonable too. Considering it’s time for the new model (C8) and fall/winter season basicly here now.

Ill add to #4.......Be sure you fit properly. If you are long torso or broad shouldered, or have big feet (Small footwell for a standard trans), the C7 may be difficult to drive comfortably. If you ever plan to track the car, do you have a couple inches of extra headroom to accommodate a helmet? The C1-C7 all have different driving positions. Some much different than the previous generation.

There's good hot rodding and then there's bad hot rodding. If you just putter a corvette all over town every time you take it out, your just building up carbon deposits. You need to open it up sometimes to give it its "exercise". The best race cars made are the ones that broke down numerous times and upgraded each time.

"corvette world bought my issue-prone C6 z06" "corvette world won't buy a corvette that isn't pristine and without issue" You have some conflicting statements there.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

I can definitely see why you would say this. Me being a non-mechanical type, let most things that went wrong with my car bother me big time. Corvette world knew that they had fixed everything on my car and that there wouldn't be any more issues with it for a long time but, I couldn't wrap my head around that. Keep in mind, I really wanted a C7 Z06 and it was an easy decision to give up that car for something that was like brand new, with a warranty!

[@slice1208]

Paraphrasing Corvette World gave me a good deal on my broken down z06. "Corvette World won't buy Corvettes unless they are in excellent condition." I think someone is lying.

[@lynneldridge480]

"Find a dealership you trust." First rule of buying any car, don't trust the dealership EVER, even if you've done business with them before and are "comfortable" with them.

Wait so you are pimping corvette world to buy from because they dont deal with pos cars but they bought your pos 09 zo6...huh?

[@JH-qy7zw]

I thought the exact same thing

[@DennisMurphey]

Very useful video and I followed all of your tips most of the time. My 1979 was a one owner L82 with 10,000, The 81 was more worn and multiple owners and was a Dog. I passed on a 1980 2 owner with all the records because he would not drop the price $1,000. Mistake. I bought a Returned Lemon Law 98 Because the price was low and extra warranty, big mistake. I bought a wrecked 2007 Ron Fellows and had it rebuilt, One owner, 1,714 miles, Paid $30K, spend $30K put 25,000 miles on it sold it for $27,500. Ah yeah Big Mistake. So I did learn. My current ride is a 2014 Z51 A6 3LT Mag Ride, all my wanted in White with Red Leather! I bought it for $45K as a one owner with 5,000 miles from a dealer, got extended warranty and am thrilled with the car. Every day I get to drive is my Birthday again. I wanted another Z06, but I don't race at the track and 460 HP scared me just enough. In two years we have 9,000 miles. I thought I wanted to trade for a Z06 or C8 but the more I drive the more happy I am with this great Z51.

[@mesonichue6198]

Rule 2 is very relevant. There just aren’t enough places to use all the power & speed in most areas safely. Rule 3 if you don’t know mods and have the ability to differentiate good from bad ones you could end up with a mess. Husband and I each bought a 2015 zo6 in 2022. Mine was stock one owner and is mint. His was modded and has some issues that a person wouldn’t notice if we didn’t have mine for comparison.

[@StevenAMoison]

thanks

[@txman951]

I'm in Dallas and ready to buy a C7. Can you explain why you can find new 2019's for $45k and used, low mileage cars are still $40k and above?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

This isn't easy to answer. You have to make sure you are comparing apples to apples here. When comparing used to new, make sure they are basically the same car, for example. A 1LT or 2LT or 3LT. Are they both auto's or manuals? How much older is the used car? How many miles are on the car? Convertible or Targa? Like I said, just make sure you are comparing apples to apples with the cars and then try to figure out why the used one is 4-5k difference in price, my guess is simple, depreciation and miles.

[@blaze376192]

Consider it done. I'm just reviewing the contract he sent me that you'll have to sign upon entering his garage. Evidently, and I have this on good authority from my cousin's husband whose 2nd cousin, twice removed, who is married to a woman whose brother is the floor sweeper in his garage, that Jay and his team are working on two C8 Test Mules that broke down and GM can't solve the problem. Don't worry though, I'm working on amending your contract so that you'll be the first to video these Test Mules and drive one if they can get it running. You'll just have to swear that you're not related to Mark Reuss before he lets you get behind the wheel. 😊

Peter Carey lol, awesome! Now that is a crazy deep family tree hook-up! I’ll easily sign that paper and as soon as they see me drive, they’ll know for a fact that I’m definitely not related to Mark Reuss! 😜

[@petercarey6883]

Whew, that's good to know Mike. My reputation and my whole family tree's reputation is on the line with Jay. I don't want him taking a chain saw and cutting my roots out from under me. 😊 Save the Wave.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Peter Carey lol 😂

[@concreteeee]

Skip this video. Test drive! Have your mechanic do an inspection!! Carfax!! Don't be scared of modifications, if done right it's an awesome incentive.

[@Newchiii]

I yet to see a GS beat a Z06 on or off the track 😂

[@envelopo]

Never buy a modded corvette? Mabie clarify this. There are many simple and useful mods that are actually a big plus, such as ceramic pads, sill guards, floor mats, tinting etc that are big pluses.

[@8MCFATTY]

Thanks for the video but I feel like the fact they took your car with nothing but problems contradicts the line idea that they only buy perfect cars at auction

[@njrivetelite]

I personally prefer the grand sport because.. it has enough power.. and the trackability from the z06 Id get the manual.. and have a ball.. 2LT is the package Id get

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Brian Michael Yeah, the Grand Sport has plenty of power for sure!

[@son-stevkan2815]

Fuck that, I love my zr1 don’t be a pwussay 👌😂😂😂

[@ryanyoder7573]

Buy new and use a GM Card and leverage rebates. Buy for a large amount off of MSRP. Don’t trust the dealer. They are all the same.

[@wwilliams1358]

Wait, Corvette World only buys quality Corvettes, yet they purchased your 2009 Z06, which you said was nothing but problems? Now how can I take whatever else you say to heart?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

The owner will never buy a Corvette like that again. He learned his lesson with that one.

[@kyled2329]

You told us corvette world bought your car with Nothing but Issues but then later say they buy nothing but perfect cars... Lmfao

[@bobmrkus3185]

Why Re you talking Bout the C7? There are great deals out there on the C 6 and C5.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Bob Mrkus Because, it’s the latest model and there are a lot of people who want one. 😊

[@youcdtube]

Mike I am thinking about joining the Corvette Family and looking for a better deal than a 2016 c7 for $37,000 base model coupe lt1if you have found anything better or know any one individual or dealer with a better buy please let me know. I am in the Riverview Tampa area. I am flexible to transmission type convertible or coupe Targa top. Just looking for something reliable well maintained no more than one owner or no owners 0 to 30,000 miles whichever is best. Hit me up on this. May be buying between 2 weeks and by the end of the year. keeping my supercharger off because I don't trust the poor quality of work Toyota and this dealer has put into this car or just the engine sucks to modified even conservatively. I lost trust in the Courtesy Toyota of Brandon Florida.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

davie crocket What are you looking to pay?

[@youcdtube]

Ideally $34-37K Maybe a dealer is having trouble selling a perfectly fine c7 automatic or convertible because of location or other legit reasons@@BrinkofSpeed

[@youcdtube]

Not gonna track it daily driver to work keep it garaged

[@BrinkofSpeed]

davie crocket Ok, I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for you! 😊

[@BrinkofSpeed]

davie crocket Sounds like a great plan to me!

[@bronsonblack2510]

My tip for you is to get some new tires, good lord those things look bald

[@BrinkofSpeed]

lol, I just got new tires on it!

[@davidsteiner7392]

Don’t buy run flats! To much noise, rough ride and for all that trouble you can only run it 30 miles flat and probably ruin the wheel. Run regular performance tires, be a member of AAA and keep a couple cans fo aerosols for tire stop leaks. I know people that have sold their Vette because of rough high noise rides. They did not realize the problem was just the tires!

[@cito4591]

The luck of this we could be truly by the car

[@jamesmorrison5632]

460 horsepower you can wrap that around a telephone pole before the s*** ever hits the ground

[@claudiatrammel4802]

650 hp will go through the pole

[@Solid_Snack]

The biggest AD for Corvette world. Lmao

[@harlemfashion1561]

Man just wait these about to be low 40s real soon
