95' Corvette or a 03' Altima 3.5 SE

I just cant make up my mind. I love the power of the corvette, but I like have the room of the Altima. What do you think I should do?

Unless the 1995 Vette is low mileage, garage kept, and well maintained it is probably not in that great of condition. Those cars easily become rattle traps and basically fall apart if they are driven daily. If the Vette has been pampered, go with it, otherwise buy something new and avoid a lot of problems and headaches.

95' Vette

It has 70,000 on it. The rubber around the windows and stuff like that needs to be replaced, but other than that it is in good shape.

Check it real good for prior accidents, test drive it, and check for fluid leaks. That is a lot of mileage on a Vette even though for a 95 it seems low. Just look it over real good or have someone look it over real good before you buy.

If you want room then a C4 vette is not the way to go. I wouldnt just buy a corvette just because its a corvette. You have to search & find the right one in great shape. Vettes that are driven every day take a beating just like every other car on the road.

I could see having a problem choosing between a 350z & Vette, but not a vette & altima . . . . .sounds like you need a performace sedan. Check out a BMW M5 The 2005 model will have a V10 with 500HP @ 9,000rpm.
