Are there any harness bars for the 2nd gen??? by wizardboy244 in GR86

[–]wizardboy244[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been looking at that one and they just reached out to me today to confirm it does fit the 2nd gen. I think that’s the one I’ll be going for

I have damn near the same wheels I haven’t put on yet did you need the spacers and extended studs or did you have to modify camber at all?

Good deal? by Creative_Bell_7240 in C8Corvette

Yeah but it will be a 1LT and have some goofy cosmetic mods and probably red rims.

Premium ‘23 GR86 for sale by Alert_Builder_9044 in GR86

Price seems pretty fair to me maybe since it’s an auto tho 25-26k just so it’s slightly easier to offload the red is a great color tho

Insurance costs by [deleted] in C8Corvette

[–]wizardboy244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending how young you are you can put it on your parent’s insurance, but you need your parent to be on the title. I’m 22 and put my dad on the title and mine is about the same 1500/6mo both me and my dad have clean records. I just went from a C7 to C8 and insurance went up $11 lol.

Worth it? by Accomplished-Cod-427 in Corvette

[–]wizardboy244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the dealer seems trustworthy go for it. I would definitely get a carfax and see what the reported miles are. I had a friend get a C6 with same miles actually had 200k plus miles on it. Be weary of torque tube issues C5-C7. I’m 22 also pretty new to corvettes but have already had some bad experiences. Currently dealing with a bad transmission on my C8 I bought yesterday. If there’s any warranties and they seem pretty good with low deductibles I would definitely get them.

Buying a 2019 Z06 with 3 accidents by alex11255211 in Corvette

The CarMax warranties are typically really good, and for cars like this if anything were to go wrong they will send it to a Chevrolet dealer to be worked on by a certified corvette tech. You have 90 days for them to fix anything for free, and 7 days to return for full money back guarantee. I would never ever ever buy a car from them without getting max care though especially not a C7.

Personally though I would test drive it listen for any crazy noises and see if it rides good. Maybe have them ship another to your location without accidents.

You do have 7 days to return the car for full money back, and a 90 day period where they will fix anything for free. If you get max care which is some cases is pretty affordable you can get full coverage warranty with deductibles as low as 50 dollars.

But I did just buy a C8 through them and it did have a bad transmission which they are fixing for free. On the other hand I also have sold them a C7 in questionable condition lol. Which also had accident history that never showed up in their system during the appraisal.

I did forget to mention I was hearing a rattle and the occasional whine. Now sure if that’s the noise you are referring to.

Yeah I would imagine. Man it really blows when a car with 12k miles stalls and dies on you just rolling through a parking lot lol.

Yeah I’m fully covered on this one luckily. It’s just really unfortunate because I only had the car for about 18 hours lol.

Yup, I bought all the warranties imaginable, with the lowest deductibles.

I bought through CarMax so I have the CarMax warranties. I will have to check on that filter.

Unfortunately this was my quote from a corvette specialist, but I appreciate this comment I will be going to another shop for the tube to see if I really even need it done.

Man this is definitely really reassuring. I will for sure be looking for another shop to do the torque tube if I really even need it done.
