How Much?
I'm half tempted to sell my 2010 GS but I'm curious to see what everyone thinks it's worth. The reason for selling is that the used aircraft market is extremely enticing!!
Let me know what you think.
2010 GS:
6,600 miles
NPP
3LT
Red/Black Interior
Nav
PAL
6Spd Auto
Museum Delivered

Oh my, I can clearly relate. I've been looking at used airplane prices myself. Whew. I want one bad. BUT, I want to be able to go to and from the airport in a Corvette. If I sell it, then what? Anyway, probably the most cost efficient thing to do is keep the Corvette and just fly low. Oh, and buy a key ring that says "Remove Before Flight". Oh, one more thing. Just before hitting the starter push button, yell out the window "Clear Prop".
Good luck whatever you do.

I can buy a new 2011 GS, stock #6325 from Tommy Jr that has a MSRP of $67,875, for $59,754. Now yours is a year older, has 6,600 miles more then the new one, one year less warranty remaining, etc. So that should give you an idea of what your car is worth. Maybe $53,154, on a good day, with the right buyer.
Just as good?
Me thinks you would rather be flying, but only at altitude not at ground level.

On average most car's will lose 20% of their value the first year. It's just not a good financial move to sell the first year, unless of course, if your the buyer.
To bad you didn't have this urge to buy a plane before you got the vette. Good Luck.

If this is the case, I'll still come out ahead. I mean, I won't get back what I've payed already, but I still won't be under.
