Especially when you can get a new one for under $40K. I guarantee those cars will be there for a long time at that price.
There are some insane deals to be had right now...several on this forum. I dare say that they'll get even better as more C6's become available. This is nothing new by the way. A close friend bought a new '96 C4, and when the C5's came out, his value was absolutely hammered even moreso than the normal depreciation.
It's not unfair either. Right now, the same dealers that are taking a bath on C5's are getting premium prices for C6's due to short supply. I can tell you that very likely, my days of buying brand new cars are over!
I'm not trying to insult anyone, it's just that the supply/demand curve works and this proves it out.

Sounds like the people working at that dealership are high on something. Way too high for used cars.
