Honestly, i don't care too much about depreciation value as long as my apreciation for the car is still growing.
For a long long time I was looking to regain that feeling of proud, fun and satisfaction every time I open my car that I first felt when I bought my RX7 almost 20 years ago.
I use my Vette as a daily driver and nothing compares to a good cup of coffee in the morning then, jump into the driver sit of my C5.

I really don't care about depreciation. My vette is paid for. I am going to keep it. I have a torque converter, vararam, Z06 shocks and sway bars waiting to be installed. After that headers, and in the future a magnacharger. So vette, depreciate as much as you want to, I'll still love you.

From my understanding i think it is now a givin that the c5 price has NOT dropped. But it holding firm take a look at kerbecks used vettes a salesman there told me the same.I think part of it is not everyone likes the look of the new car, and car sales are down a bit . Just my view,but if you think they are dropping that much step up my man!

I am always looking for an excuse to get my depreciating asset out of the garage.
