Best Used Cars of 2013: The 2006-11 Chevrolet Corvette


The expression "bang for the buck" might as well be trademarked to the Chevrolet Corvette, given its relative affordability and incredible, supercar-level performance. How do zero to 60 in less than 4.5 seconds and a top speed of nearly 190 mph sound? And that's just the base model. Should that be insufficient, you can always go with the 505-hp Z06 or the 638-hp ZR1. Depending on the trim level, you can have a fixed roof, removable roof or full convertible.

These years reflect the sixth-generation ("C6") Corvette, which bowed in 2005 and boasted more power, better build quality and sharper styling than the outgoing C5. Notable changes include the debut of the Z06 in '06, more power, a nicer interior and sharper steering for the base model in '08, and the arrival of the thundering ZR1 in 2009. Whichever Corvette you set your sights on, you'll have a car that can run with exotics. At the same time, prices on used Chevrolet Corvettes are so reasonable that you needn't be a professional athlete or rock star to afford one.
