Used 2002 Chevrolet Corvette for Sale near Portland, ME

The 2002 Corvette through the 2004 model year which was the end of the C5 production are the only year C5s to consider. Starting in 2002 Corvette made a substantial number of improvements to eliminate some of the issues that plagued earlier C5s such as a more robust driveshaft and bearings. Also upgraded were revised rear shock valving, new high-performance front brake pads, cast aluminum wheels. All Corvettes with automatic transmissions got a new aluminum tranmission cooler case instead of stainless steel. The Coupe and Convertible got a new AM/FM stereo with an in-dash CD player and an available 12-disc changer (gone was the cassette). Corvette made numerous small improvements too numerous to mention that resulted in a minor horsepower increase, better handling, and driving experience. Although the 1997 through 2001 models are perfectly fine the later C5s are worth spending a little more for the improvements made.

Overall, great performance car with exceptional levels of handling and power. Continues to be at the top of overall performance and still outperforms most anything on the road. If you're looking for strong reliability, huge performance and comfortable cruising - look no further.

The performance is powerful, the quality is superb, the appearance is immaculate, the cost of ownership is low, and the fun factor is amaaaazing!! What other vehicle turns heads, satisfies an ego and yet can purr or growl when needed? This 2002 Corvette!

Handles like a dream! Plenty of power! Blast to drive!

Great little fun car! Easy to work on and cheap to maintain. Also has great aftermarket support. I suggest sticking to the years 01-04.
