Hello /o/, I've found this seemingly great 2005 Corvette for sale. One owner, Z51 package, a little over 30k miles for $21,000 OBO. my only concern is the fact that 2005 Corvettes had weak rear differentials. Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace it with a better one? Is there any other reason that I shouldn't buy this car?

Maybe because everyone will look at you as an overcompensating limp-dick?

For that price, buy a C5Z or rice out a C4. $21k for a decade old base model is insane.
>>
>>16693036
But a c6 is comparable in terms of performance to a c5 Z, and the c6 looks significantly better imo
>>
>>16693035
Holy shit that's expensive, I was honestly expecting $2,000 with labor. Whoa.
>>
21k seems stepp for a z51.
the base model can be a lot cheaper, and you can almost get a z06 with a little more.

>>16693021
Nice one dude, I'm sure everyone knows you have a huge dick since you ride the bus.

I'm in SoCal, and I've never seen a price that low around here for any Corvette with less that 90,000 miles.

Nice 550 Maranello!

Goddamn, you're right! I never realized how similar they are. I'm okay with this.
>>
>>16692963
If you dont plan on drag racing the thing on slicks the rear end is fine.

Ur a faget

>30k
If it's dealer serviced one owner you found a gem. Don't forget to pop the clutch!

DESU that looks like a good value. For that price, i don't see a much better performance deal (unless you're gonna mod.)
They're pretty fast and handle great.

Yeah ok. That price actually makes me think there is a catch.
C5s with 30k miles go for higher asking prices.

Beefing up the rear end won't be any more than $2k and it'll handle 1000hp easy. So you'll never have to worry about it again.

>Thinking a c6 corvette doesn't handle great
do you have any idea what you're talking about?
>>
>>16694853
They feel a little numb, but they handle really quite well
>>
>>16694692
This is true. I haven't contacted the owner yet
