I see law suit in your future. The dealer you purchased it from should repair it free, but I have a feeling they will give you the run around. Im sure the car came with some sort of warranty? Most states have a 90 day or X amount of mimileage on used car sales.

You spent $4000 to have it repaired? So now it is fixed, what's the problem? Yes, Corvettes cost a lot of money- yes, buying a used car is a roll of the dice- next time, buy your vette from a private owner, see all the service records and have the owner take you on a test drive so you can see if he is a sensible driver or more like a Nascar racer-
