85 vette
I am in high school and on a limited budget, I found a 85 corvette that I really like, it has 76,000 miles on it and is in pretty good shape for how old that it is, I was wondering if the 85's have a lot of problems, because I wouldn't be able to afford that much on repairs.

Re: 85 vette
no ones going to bite on this??
They have problems with wrapping themselves around trees....they really like trees for some reason. I wouldn't advize getting one. tree's and cars meet, money signs suddenly appear.
Honestly, C4's are great cars, but as with anything car related, 20+ years old, be prepared to through a lot of money at it. You may not need to, but its always a possibility

Re: 85 vette
I have an 85 also. I think its a great car. I've got it in great shape and only drive it in the nice weather. the only advice I can give is if your still in school and are looking at a vet is have you made a call and checked on insurance prices if your on a limited budget.

Re: 85 vette
I'm a sophmore, and I have an 85. We paid $5,600 for the car in great condition. (considering it's 20 years old) We've put about $2,000 into it. We got a glass targa, new speakers, Flowmaster exhaust, new door panels, new steering wheel, and replaced the window ribbon.

Re: 85 vette
There is no such thing as a C3 84 or 85. Those are C4s.

Re: 85 vette
I think a later C3 (like 77-82) cost around $7,500-9,000. Somewhere in there. Here are the generations. They didn't make a 1983 if someone says it's an 83 it's either an early 84 or a late 83. (depending on the body style)
C1 53-62
C2 63-67
C3 68-82
C4 84-96
C5 97-04
C6 05-06

Re: 85 vette
That's the price now! Why would I give you a price from "back in the day"? I'm only 15 years old. I have a C4, but looked for a C3 for a while. They aren't real expensive. What did you think they cost?
