From CNN Money:
Chevrolet Corvette
Base price range:
$47,245 - $55,585
Predicted 5-year retained value: 50 percent*
A big part of Corvette's appeal is its low price relative to anything approaching its performance along with an easy-to-drive manner.
The fact that the Corvette is such a good value as a new car makes it worth more even as a used car.
------------------------------------------------------------
The above "copy job" was from CNN Money relative to the 10 Best Value Cars, The Corvette was the first one on the list....but the other cars, like the Honda Civic had a 52 percent retained value.

I believe in the Beer Fairy
This is the same for any car really...I have a truck that I paid 26,xxx for and in 5 years I fully expect it to be worth atleast 13,xxx....so what is all the hype about...
How about they back this up with actual facts, of which I saw none...if I missed them please point them out to me.
In the end a car is only worth what you can sell it for...if you get 50% or more great...but there is so much the determains this after 5 years, milage, shape of the car, accidents...

So KBB is saying your '08 will be worth 23,600 - 27,800, adjusted to inflation, five years from now.
I take it that's applicable only to a coupe.
Right after the last payment for many!
