Hello All,

I have been reading to the forums but have found a definitive answer to my question. Is there a “best year” that I should be concentrating on? What issues will each year be prone to?

I am leaning towards a 2020, but, there don’t seem to be a lot available right now.

What are your thoughts?

Look for 2018s and 2019s coming off lease?

As far as I am aware, there aren’t any facelifts, mechanical changes between the years, so go more for model, condition and mileage IMO. There were some water pump issues in 2018 models, but these will largely have been sorted in warranty (mine is a 2018 MY, 11k miles and looks/ drives like new).

I have not heard a single complaint about the 2021s so I would focus on those

The best year is the one when you bought yours.
That. S when you started enjoying life.
So mine is 2017 and now in my 6th year of enjoyment and trouble free
Try and beat that.🤣

Can’t “beat” that but can tie it - 2017 Lusso, trouble free -

Which Corvette is best Corvette?

My Corvette is best Corvette because of built-in Viagra Pez dispenser.

The Best Year is whichever one you own.

There were very minor design changes along the years. Later model years got the Abarth badges on the fenders; early ones got Abarth embroidered on the seats.

Mine is a 2018; it had the water pump replaced at 4,000 miles and again at 4,300 miles. Other than that, it’s been trouble-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to buy a 2018.

The only complaint I hear about that year is they are super hard to find… haha!

I am finding most listings for 2019s, if not all, are showing open recalls for the fuel pump? Has anyone actually had their recall done yet?

 

[Destination Loco]

Don't get a 2019. The fuel pump recall has been a disaster, what is it, eight or nine months and none fixed yet. You can probably get the best of prices from the despairing owner of a 2019.

I understand that a certain number of 2019s are affected by the fuel pump recall and not all. I read that its about 1600 in the USA and 200 in Canada. I factory ordered my 2019 in Aug. 2018 and received in late Sept. 2019. I have not received any recall notice by mail....yet.

The newly redesigned Corvette is literally butt ugly. Its rearend is enormous and just laughable. Hideous design enginering.

This should clarify the 2019 fuel pump recall issue for those concerned :

 

[GT_racing]

The fuel pump is a cheap basic part, i wouldn't take that in consideration when buying a 124 spider, sorry.

Can be replaced for any generic fuel pump with the same or superior fuel delivery.

 

[SteveP.]

Personally, I would not let the fuel pump recall bother me in the least. Not alot of cars were involved, and it is a supply chain issue now, which eventually will be rectified. s

Spiders are selling for $8,000 to $10,000 less than comparably used and equipped MX-5s!

Saw a 2017 Abarth with 140,000 miles...!

 

[Wyllie]

More that happy with my 2017 Classica. Bought it in March 2019 for $17,600 with 500 miles on the clock. The Fiat dealer had to move it to their used car lot even though it had never been registered.
