Top 15 cars under $15,000 that will make you look rich
14. Chevrolet Corvette (2000)
It doesn’t matter what class of vehicles, Ford and Chevy are determined to go head-to-head in competition for market segments.
The Corvette has long competed with the Mustang, and other American muscle cars, for attention in the sporty segment.
Normally, it wouldn’t be very easy to find an affordable Chevrolet Corvette. However, with a little bit of research and some knowledge, you’ll find the right Corvette for sale that offers the best of both worlds.
The C5 Hardtop, specifically the 2000 model year Corvette, can be for under $10,000 (mileage dependent). The C5 can propel you and an occupant from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, leaving most Mustang models in the dust.
The Corvette C5 comes standard with a 5.7L V8 engine that produces 345hp and is controlled by a six-speed automatic transmission. The C5 model was manufactured from 1997 to 2004 (model years), but the specific hardtop version discussed here was only available for the 1999 and 2000 model year.
You may have to settle for higher mileage on this vehicle, but you’ll get all the power you could ever ask for in the sleek body of a Corvette.
