I'm looking to buy a 2008+ Corvette, manual, coupe. I've been looking for a few months and this time of year of course the pickings get slim. I realize that buying a sports car in the fall sometimes can present an opportunity. Ideally I'd like a base model with the 3LT package (I would like memory seats and the gizmos), but I've seen a few GS models that are appealing.
My questions to the collective are:
1) Are prices in the spring for these vehicles truly higher?
2) Would the additional depreciation over the winter and better stock in the spring be a factor to consider?
3) Are the GS models worth the extra cost, considering this won't be a track car?
4) Any thoughts on what the C8 Corvette will do to C6/C7 prices?
5) What is the anticipated depreciation on the C6's, especially the GS models? Have their prices stabilized?
6) Most of the used models that I've seen (2008-2011) are US import because our dollar was strong a few years back. Does being a US car hurt resale here in Canada?
7) How much does color play a role in pricing/resale? I really like the look of the silver, but have been surprised that they are actually pretty rare. Is this because they are in high or low demand?
I've wanted a 'Vette for some time, and I'm just debating when would be a good time to jump in.
Thanks in advance.
