84 corvette

onya:
I have been told not to buy a 84 corvette, is there a problem with them. I have seen plenty for sale, what should I look out for in that year model.

Brutus:
I think you'll find that many people tend to steer away from the first year of a new model. The 84 was the official first year of the C4s and as such has the ensuing enigma attatched to it.

johnny86convert:
ONYA.....they  haven't  got a  good  rep  but  if  you  find a  good  one,  it  should  be a  good  price  $23,000  to  $  28,000

77CVT:
I'm with brutus!  68's have the same rep.

A vette is a vette!

Vette Obsessed:
There is nothing wrong with 84 Corvettes if you ask me.  The main downside is that the crossfire injection motor isn't as modification friendly as the tune port and LT1 motors.

There are still bolt ons you can do to a crossfire but if you want big hp you need to do more drastic changes than you would need on a tune port or LT1.

There isn't anything wrong as such with 84's except they got a bad name with some people for the crossfire motor and hard suspension on some cars.

84's had a different lcd dash display (just different characters).  The Z51's have a supposedly hard ride but with the 16" wheels I don't see that much of a drama myself.

I think there are some bargain 84's out there that would be ideal if you wanted a nice reasonably priced Vette to cruise around in and enjoy.
