Absolutely what you said is true , i will work on that and think like you and maybe go for a C7 Z06 3 brand new 2019Go for the C7 now, even a lightly used one. Wait for the C8 rush to abate a bit, also for them to work out all the inevitable bugs that a new model always has. You'll never lose with the C7, not only on value, but the opportunity to own one, and the C8 later on. Personally, the C8 is a really cool car...but there is nothing "Vette" about it. The C7 is gorgeous!
Get the C7dan , life is short . Get the C8dan in a few years !!Hi, i have give 2 deposits for the new C8 because i only like the shape of the car,where i do not know what to do is because i have also see a brend new 2019 Z03 3LZ that i really like , for me the C7 are more impressive and good looking, good shape nice build and aesthetic to and classy , so what i am thinking is to get the C7 Z06 why, just because after 45 years of working and now just retired i do not want to wait for the C8 because nobody knows when i will have it, dealers told me for sure in year 22 my god i spent so much time in my life to wait ,now at 60 and time go faster each days,do you think i should go for the C7 Z06 brand new or wait , and maybe get die in 2 years but i am in shaped, thank's
Theres always an air bag recall. LOL.I'm sure there will be some issues that come up as does every new car model change.
What I would do if i was in your shoes would be to get a used 16-18 Zo6 and than start looking at selling it when your C8 is 3-4 months away from production. You want to find a C7 that has gone through some of the initial depreciation and has tapered off. Depending on when your C8 gets built will be a big factor on how long you own a C7. For example if its getting built in the early spring I would sell it in the fall.Hi, i have give 2 deposits for the new C8 because i only like the shape of the car,where i do not know what to do is because i have also see a brend new 2019 Z03 3LZ that i really like , for me the C7 are more impressive and good looking, good shape nice build and aesthetic to and classy , so what i am thinking is to get the C7 Z06 why, just because after 45 years of working and now just retired i do not want to wait for the C8 because nobody knows when i will have it, dealers told me for sure in year 22 my god i spent so much time in my life to wait ,now at 60 and time go faster each days,do you think i should go for the C7 Z06 brand new or wait , and maybe get die in 2 years but i am in shaped, thank's
What? C7s will depreciate... that’s not at all what salespeople that I won’t buy from told me in contrast to all the time when i was shopping C7s ...
yup, i completely agree., 76% are A8 so its a saturated market on them. I love getting M7's whenever I can for this reasonThey were partially right in their forecast Sp. Only the C7 A8's will depreciate... ()
Well lets be rational here, no vehicle that has 20-30k produced a year is going to go up in value. If the salesrep said this to you i would walk away becase he is cutting corners on the sales process and is not looking out for your best interest when he gives you false information like that. Almost every car looses money, the vette just looses a lot less and the fun per dollar ratio is through the roof compared to most sports cars in its group.What?

Ya ... there were a couple of youngish salespeople saying this to my ear. In the next breath, knew nothing much about the car nor when i asked “i hear there is a driving school, is that true!”?Well lets be rational here, no vehicle that has 20-30k produced a year is going to go up in value.

I have a Manual C7 and wouldn't sell it because it's a manual. Have owned and loved almost exclusively manuals all my life and I just can't see myself driving an automatic sports car, playing with paddles, and trying to fool myself into thinking it's a manual. I have a Lincoln with paddles and it just doesn't do it for me, and it goes like snot too. My diesel truck is a M6 and I wouldn't sell it for the same reason. Everyone has their preferences but I honestly believe with the disappearance of manual transmissions, and being the last generation of FE, and once the C8 drug begins to wear thin, we will see the C6 and C7 hold value extremely well. Remember back in 2014 when every review said: "GM finally listened and built this car right"... Well.... they did, and that still holds...
Next year, the ME Z06 will likely be announced, the bargain basement introductory price of the C8 base will be no more and the leftover and used C6's and C7's are going to start looking a lot more attractive. Now that GM has the C8 on roads everywhere (or will this season), there will be a few tweaks made and the price of the 2021 base will no doubt be adjusted considerably to increase the black ink in GM's ledgers. It will still be a reasonably priced American made exotic but I just can't see this car entering it's second or third year at a base price less than $ 100k. The Z06 will start at or over $135k...Put a couple options on it and you will be at $160k so fast you won't know what happened. The ZR1 or Zora or whatever ....well.... we will talk about that next year after we see the Z06... And before you ask me for my source...lol.... this is purely my own opinion and I remember a time before when I was wrong...... I think....
People have a hard time buying a new corvette now and from what I see Canadians buy way more stingrays than Z06. On the American side since the price is a lot lower people go for the Z06 judging from all those u-tube videos. With the price hike of the C8 there will be a lot less sold. Without knowing the actual price it would probably be out of my budget.
What people? I bought 3 Z06s. Paid cash for all of them and I am just a working stiff like everyone else. It's about getting what you actually want and not settling on something that kind of looks like what you want. If that is a Stingray... great and if it's something else that's fine too. The Z06 is proportionally higher in price in either country. Before you rebutt... check the trim and option levels. My car was almost 30K higher than the standard 3LZ Z06 new in 17. Your statement is somewhat based on your own situation and certainly not representative of "people" perhaps?
