Yeah I bought the car with 216k miles on her, she needs some work but overall she is in great condition, I wish I had the M6 with LT4. but heck I cant complain, it came with the factory hardtop which has a couple small chips, and the front passenger side fender needs to be fixed a bit but overall I cant complain too much :)

Congrats on your new toy !  It's amazing how many C4's are out there with over 150,000 miles on them and are running strong and look good too (made in the USA the right way)

Car looks great for that many miles, plus it has a hardtop....pretty cool.  Look forward to you posting when it hits 300K.

I get alot of people here that stop me in parking lots and ask about my car, one guy even followed me to a gas station and talked with me for about 15 min about it :) This car def turns heads and I really enjoy that.

Vette(s): 87 Red Coupe, not as pretty, had 213G miles, great running engine; got 20-21 around town, 27-28 on hwy; I got to drive a Vette, every day for 6 yrs. It was my first; so now I know what the fuss is all about. (Sold it 2015 for $3000, still ran great.)
The newer C5/C6 Vettes are very cool, obviously, but the workhorse C4s are driven.  People seem to appreciate that and are amazed that some of us drive a Corvette every day.  Not many people can say that!  Mine has almost 164,000 and still gets 19.9 mpg back and forth 31 miles each way to work, on regular gas, and about 26 on hwy trips.  Go figure.  Beats a beater econobox anyday.  Soooo, enjoy the car, the drive, the eyes, and the ahs.  We know what you mean....
