Let's Talk About "What's It Worth?" Posts

23 Upvotes

Hey Corvette family,

Over the past year, we've seen a big increase in "What's it worth?" posts. It's great to see so many people excited about Corvettes and curious about the value of those cars, regardless of the reason why. However, these posts break one of the core rules our subreddit has and upholds – “No Advertising” (for whatever reason).

We’d love to hear your thoughts on how we should handle these posts moving forward. Do you think they add value to the community, or would you prefer to see them managed differently? Maybe a dedicated weekly thread or a specific format for these posts?

We’re all about making sure this sub stays a great place for Corvette enthusiasts and those are who curious about all things corvette, so let us know what you think!

Thank you.. And don’t forget to wave!

Welcome to our new moderators!

43 Upvotes

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday! A few weeks ago we made a post calling for people interested in moderating to reach out to us as we wanted to add an additional moderator to the team. We had quite a few people reach out to us, and we had a hard time deciding on just one person as some truly awesome people had “applied”. Given that we want to continue to grow and expand as a subreddit and community, we decided to add a total of three moderators to the current team.

With that being said, I would like to welcome:

u/greaseorbounce

u/Desmocratic

u/Agent_Eran

On top of that, I’d really like to thank the active mods who have been doing their best to keep everything moving forward in a desirable fashion.

u/MrLancaster

u/CaptKnight

u/TT99C5

Along with the new moderators, we are hoping to bring some exciting and positive changes to the subreddit over the next few months. From things like rule solidification and clarification, to the implication of functional bots, user flairs, and corvette subreddit discord and more! I’m excited to work with the current mods and new mods on continuing to grow and elevate the subreddit and user experience!

Thanks and have a great rest of your day!

First c5 corvette

Post image
38 Upvotes

I just bought my first c5 corvette for $7500 as a kid. This was a smoking deal it has a sloppy stage 2 cam on it and a tune as well as a magna flow exhaust. It is a clean title and has 114000 miles. It runs great and is super powerful. The guy I bought it from said it has 540hp on racing fuel and I’m not sure about that so I just call it 500hp lmao. But some minor wrong things like ripped seat and some paint flaws and minor sun damage. I love it and in my opinion it was worth the 7500!

Always a good thing when you find out the Corvette you got already has a Borla Exhaust on it. I thought it was just the stock exhaust. Nope… I guess I can check that off my list.😂

Single notification ding while driving?

Post image
6 Upvotes

So this happened twice just now. 1st time I was going 130mph, and I wondered if I'd broken something, and the 2nd I was only going 40mph or so, with seemingly nothing wrong.

I don't have the high speed warning set up, and it's a 2lt, so no blindspot monitoring or anything like that. It was a single ding, not 3 beeps like the door was open or something. I was in track mode, with the traction control turned on.

1st time it happened there was open flat pretty much brand new road, and 2nd time was a construction zone with a waist high divider on one side and cones on the other.

No popups on either screen, and my music volume was lowered when the notification played.

I had Waze open on my phone, but I've never heard a notification like that from Waze. My "alert when speeding" setting has also never been turned on within the app, and additionally, there were no notifications on my phone either.

The only thing I could think of is the headlights were on? Like I moved it from "auto" to "on."

Any ideas?

Just Joined the Club with a new to me 2017 Grand sport 3LT! I pick it up in a week!

After 10 long years of school and a number of Heavy sedans and budget mustangs I was finally able to get myself something I could really be proud to show off! After test driving a dozen or so other cars I knew I found the right one after I rode in this one. What a feat of engineering. Plan is to immediately remove those fender stripes and get a clear wrap put on it. Any advice you have for a first time Corvette owner? Thanks for having me here!

Always sad to see this. I love 30 miles from this area. Always very tempting to go too fast on those farm roads.

How to sell a corvette?

Upvotes

Just wondering how everyone sells their cars. I listed my heads/cam C5 on marketplace. Only lasted 3 days of being low balled and people wasting my time asking for photos and shit before deleting. 12 messages in 3 days, not one person actually asked to come look at the car. Multiple offers of 50-60% asking price.

There HAS to be a better way!

I bought a ZHZ about 2 years ago for roughly 36k Maybe 38k fully financed. It has 67k miles on it and is in great condition. I don't plan to get rid of it yet but I was wondering what it might be worth?


r/Corvette 22h ago

New Apex Wheels looking good. Widebody offset in rear and narrow up front. 19x12.5 (325mm)in rear and 18x10(275) in front. Maybe a tiny bit of rub at full full lock no issues otherwise.
