not directly related, but I guess kind of since we're discussing the impact that the new model is having on previous model used market. The C7, I believe, went from 2014-2019? which I think makes it the shortest run ever for a Corvette?
If I look up a 2015 with less than 45k miles on it within 500 miles of me it looks like they are starting in the $46-48k range. is that higher than they would have been previously? I guess it's kind of hard to figure that out since there's a lot of relativity with the new model having been "out" for over a year now. I think the base price in 2014 was something like $52k? So presuming that these lowest-priced used models are pretty much "base", it looks like (at the moment) they definitely held their value with a $4-6k drop over 6 years?
I think what I'd ideally love to do is wait and buy a C7 when the C9 comes out.
although with it being the last front-engine (presumably) and the shortest run of any model, they'll probably be $100k by then. Maybe I need to buy one now.
