From looking over the used C5 market over the last month I feel that C5 values have pretty much flattened out. More desirable models with low mileage and in good order are holding strong numbers.

The C6 will take a solid hit once C7 hits the ground for sure. I am actually counting on this and will be keeping an eye on the C6 For Sale area late next summer.

Going back in time I recall the C6 really hit the C5 but not so much the C4. I would expect that to be the case next year.

I sold my 2007 Z06 to clear a spot in the garage for a C7. I got out early before the hit. But there will always be folks like me that have to own the "best vette yet".

I owned 2 C4's, 2 C5's and 2 C6's. So I've been through this a few times and can speak from experience.

I agree it will affect the C6 noticeably. It may affect the C5 a tiny bit in your trickle down philosophy but I don't think it will affect it by any significant or noticeable amount.

I don't really care as I don't intend to sell mine, but with age most car values go down to a point.
