Unbelievable

Just bad timing. People are not shopping Vettes , right now, they are paying off Christmas debts. I am stuck because my C8 has arrived. I am looking at 10,000$ less for my C7.

you didn't really think you were going to break even on a non-C8 corvette?

Last one I sold hardly lost any money.

Honestly I was planning on making money with this one. I would of if I could of sold it in spring.

if you can make more than what trade in + tax savings, maybe you should hold on until spring but Canadian economy is only getting worse

No, I am screwed. That is what happens , when you plan things way in advance, they do not always turn out in our favor. So you live with it. Like the wife said , we are not going to bring with us, when we die.

I am still waiting for 2 offers to come in, today , I hope. They were supposed too.

"major players"...suggestions?

I would start with the Port Perry Pennywise then branch out to the Southern Ontario Tri-Ad...

When did you buy your C7? Were you hoping to get more than what you paid for it? Times are changing now and values are dropping.

 

[WLGJ]

I think I bought it in July. Yes times are changing. Dealerships Are telling me, people want the C8. But , with inflation, high interest rates , gas prices, maybe a recession, thank you, Mr.incompetent Trudeau, cars are taking a downturn. Sadly I cannot predict the future, so I will lose money.

How much is the dealer offering you for a trade?

Up to now I have 63000$. Still waiting on one last offer. One thing I noticed, my phone and this site, don't get along .

So with Quebec taxes at about 15%, you would save about $72450 off the price of the C8. It’s worth considering.

 

[WLGJ]

I have no choice. I have only, till the end of January. If I haven't found better , I'll have to sell, cause if I don't , I lose my C8. They will make it a used car and sell it for 30,000 more.

 

[scraze66]

What's there even to complain about? Did you really think your car would keep appreciating and you wouldn't lose anything? And what makes Canada so special that we wouldn't see the effects of a disrupted world economy due to the covid pandemic?

 

[WLGJ]

Am I reading this right? you were asked what the dealer offered on a trade... You came back quoting $63,000... Harshadt did the math for you and after the tax saving a $63k trade offer is worth $72,450 to you... You indicate in the classified you will take $70,000 on a private sale... Not sure what the problem is...

70,000 before taxes. My adds say sale through accommodation.

 

[rockitman]

Have you ever heard of a C8 built and at the dealer in one month???

Do you how many guys would die to have a problem like this when they waited over a year? Enjoy the ride.

We are not waiting , anymore, GM is sending C8s as soon as they are built now. That is what I have heard , lately, anyway.

I am less unsure about the problem.

I sold my C7 GS in late July to take advantage of the crazy market pricing. Some people bought in July.
