Hi,

Long time member and corvette owner on here. Lately when glancing at stingray listings the prices are all over the place. to get a 15' version of my car its 61,490 msrp.

My car is a 1 owner, 2014, AW stingray z51 with red interior, 7mt , black z51 wheels, body color roof 3,900 miles, corsa xtreme exhaust, 15% solarguard lifetime window film. all maintenance and recalls are up to date. car is mint.

is it worth 60, 55, 52 , 50 ? Sometimes random people ask me what I would sell it for...

input is appreciated thanks !

When I was selling mine I would receive offers all over the place. I sold a '14 Z51 1LT 7MT with 13k miles for $58k a couple weeks ago. However, I received countless offers for around $50k before that. My asking was $58k and knew most people wouldn't go near it, but you only need 1 for the sale. I understood the value of my car was gonna take a big hit by the time the year ends and I figured it would have 20k miles on it by that time. So exiting the vehicle without any loss was a no-brainer for me.

Your best bet is to start in the 57-59k range and work your way down (unless you need a quick sale). You didn't mention if it was a 1, 2 or 3LT so that would influence price between the mid and higher 50s.

current discounts on a 61,490 car run about 9%, so assume one can get your car brand new at $56,000. Add the fact your car is used knocks some off, so I would think low 50's.

Not quite how it works, unfortunately. Most people don't know about cheaper dealers and discounts. I see tons of dealers gouging prices for C7's. Had a local dealer try to sell a C7 with 30k miles for more than brand new price from one of the venders on this forum.

Realistically, worth should be around low 50's but you can probably find a buyer for mid-high depending on trim. 2LT can fetch high 50's easy.

haha, yea I guess one has to clarify between buyers on this forum, and the general public.

thanks for the input. prob gonna hang on to it longer maybe another year even cause its pretty awesome i love it lots of fun and really nothing else to replace it with.

just to update this. got 50,500 as a trade. in my state the tax rate is 7% with tax credit on trades so its like I private sold it for 54,035. Getting white/black Duramax Denali 2500

Thanks for the update, helps a lot for those of us trying to gauge fair prices. What trim level was your C7?

6spdg37s

ya specs help lol its white on red 1LT z51 with color matched roof and black wheel package and 7mt , 6k miles

I'm really surprised that A 2 year old car is holding it's value so well.I do see some 14's for sale but they are high numbers.I'll put it this way,higher than what I believe they should be.

6spdg37s

my sticker was 58,490 I believe sold it with 6,200 miles

the dealer said they cant get their hands on them fast enough

shadowx360

I know. I've been waiting for prices to drop first so I can avoid the steep part of the depreciation curve but it's just not happening. I'm looking for 2LT Z51's and they've been in the mid 50's since the beginning of the year.

6spdg37s

same especially by me the market is saturated with them... any car show you go to there is at least 10 C7s . one of the reasons I sold it.

I had it when no one did. didnt expect there to be so many.

thrilled

I guess it depends where you live.But prices are staying high on Internet sites

Don't forget GM did price increases across all model ranges twice.
So 'we' know that a car that in 2014 cost $55k - now a 2016 costs $60k but with 8-9% off it's right back at $55k.

As noted, general public don't know that. So that's helped the 2014's hold value.

6spdg37s

yup.. tried to explain that to someone and they just couldnt understand it...

IIRC there are going to be lot more corvettes made per year than in the past. I don't remember where I read it but I got the impression that Corvettes were going to be seeming more common. Fine with me, I want a C7 and hopefully the price of one a couple of years old will get lower.

I'm actively looking right now. I can say without a doubt that getting the equivalent of $54,035 for a 2014, 2LT, Z51 coupe, sold private, is VERY good. Consider that there are several out there with low mileage and GM certified for $55K to $56K. There are a few not certified, with a clean carfax for around $52K and that's asking from dealers. This time of year is probably the best to buy, spring is the time to sell.
Yes some dealers have higher prices as do some private folks. They're hoping to find someone who wants that particular car and doesn't care what it costs. It happens, but not often.
BTW, to achieve finding one at the best price, my search range is 300 miles.
