They will be like most late model cars, throwaways not worth fixing.
Dont worry about future value get rid of it before the warranty is up or lease and move on.
Todays cars are NOT meant to last 20 yrs to hang around.
If ones looking for a rare collector something dont bother with most newer than 72.
At a point all cars will be electric
Germany I hear passed some deal where by 2020 all gas vehicles will beoutlawed so enjoy the last of the HP wars and quit worrying about the "next guy"...he may just want yours for the shell to stick an electric motor in. Times are a changing.

^Germany will do away with all gas vehicles in three years?
That is a very short period of time for such a changeover.
So if you buy a Mercedes next year It will be useless two years later in Germany?

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I prefer my C5 to any C7. I sat in C5, C6, and C7 and went with the C5 mostly because it was the only one I fit in. The timeless styling has really grown on me though, whereas I feel like the C7 is too boy racer and "look at me" for me.

I know the C5 ages better than the C4 does.

Been thinking seriously about a restomod to avoid all the non repairable electronics. Maybe an early '70's Camaro or a '78 Firebird - gotta be black and gold with the chicken on the hood. Also been looking at pricing on Cobra reps.

The electronics on the C5 isn't that bad. I have had most of the problems and they were not too difficult to fix using advice from this forum. I purchased a few extra parts as insurance while there is plenty of good salvage.

2016 production was 40,689. Highest # since the 70's.
I have seen up to 12% off on in-stock in Dec.
20% in Sep on all 2016 in-stock.
Right now as much as 12% on 2017 GS
