Can a c4 corvette over 100,000 mileage be a daily driver?

So I'm saving to buy a c4 corvette online after I buy it i can reserve $600 a month towards all the necessities besides the rent because I plan on fully paying it off right when I get it. So is $600 a month enough for gas,insurance, and maintenance on it. Most cheap corvette's are c4's and over 100,000 mileage and I wanna drive it and I know compared to other sport cars the insurance isn't as high because their common.

    "Can it"? Sure...

    But even the newest C4 'Vette is now over 20 years old. As already pointed out by others, the maintenance costs will be high as will the insurance

    It really depends were you live? If you live in city were there is alot of sea salt rain from the ocean forget it. If u granny the pedal and do maintenance yourself u save big.

    You need to get a quote for insurance - a Corvette will be a lot more expensive than a sedan. I'm guessing you are young, so it could be ridiculously high. Beyond that they are mechanically robust, but you'll have problems from time to time, it's an old car. So can it be a daily driver? Sure, but it's not a great choice.

    Yes that can be a good daily driver. Everyone should own at least 1 Corvette

    The big danger with these cars is hidden rust.

    The body is bonded to the birdcage.

    Get it well checked by a corvette expert. Rust in the birdcage makes the car very dangerous as it can break in two

    It is also extreemly expensive to repair. Often far more than the value of the car.

    These cars use a lot of fuel and have a relatively fragile automatic gearbox.

    Perhaps.

    But, be ready to have it stolen. Car thieves LOVE to steal Corvettes.

    idk bout corvettes, but its all about how the car was taken care of prior to you owning it. Ive been daily driving a lexus sc300 for a while now without any problems, and it has nearly 200k on the clock. 100k isnt that high for most cars
