Default C-4 Pricing

Does anyone have any thoughts, mussings, predictions, how the introduction of the C-6 in 2 years will/ won't affect the prices of the C4's?

Thanks,

Tom

I agree with Artic-LT1, it is rare to see a loved, and cared for Vette for less than 10K regardless of the year. I think the C3's will continue to rise, but I also think that the second gen C4 will in general be worth more than the first due to the refinements over the years.

Thanks for the replys guys, what you are saying seems to make alot of sense, I think the only cars that may deviate from this may be the 96 CE and GS just because they are different.

Anyone have any other opinions?

Tom

I tend to agree with the above.

I am not sure how the C6 will affect the C4s. I was of the opinion the C5s would affect the C4s, and they did by increasing the value of the C4s in my area. I had a 92 Yellow Convertible with 43k miles which I sold in 98 for $18,000 because I wasn't using it and I thought the C5s would hurt its value. I could have probably sold it today for the same or more, than I did in 1997.

So you never know.

I agree with you on the Grand Sports definetly, I DON'T think CE's will be safe from the same depritiation fate as any other 96 though.

I remember my buddy with a 95 coupe telling me,
"As long as you don't drive your vetee - any vette of any year - off of a cliff, you'll always get 10 grand for it."

:D

Right on :cheers:

supply and demand. we're already awash in 97-98's off of leases- only variable left is price.

$10K floor? heard the same thing about my 86 back in 90.

IMHO, the C6 won't have any direct effect on the pricing of C4's, at least no more so than the passing of another year has. It might effect late model C5 values, however.

But the real question is... so what???
