2013 GS just turned 25K, although only about 5K was put on in the last three years. I just don't drive it much anymore as I use my 2000 Deville for just about every thing.

No shame, not everyone's driving needs are the same.
Everyone enjoys their Vette as they see fit. No right or wrong ways. Really bugs me when I see post putting down people who don't put a lot of miles on their car. None of their business.
This is a remarkable thread. It would seem that while many of the Forum Members - and I use that euphemism to suggest that all who responded on this post are Corvette enthusiasts - are not alike in the use of their cars. Some seem to feel they have a garage queen and others as daily drivers. I wonder if there is single characteristic or demographic that marks one or the other. Personally, it tells me that the market price of my '07 coupe didn't;t warrant buying a third car. Now, I've done a lot of labor making sure my C6 stays pristine and with low miles.Currently, the car is with less than half the original sticker price. Or, so I've been led to believe. It is not, nor will ever be during my lifetime worth anything close to what I paid for it. So why leave it in the garage most of the time and buy a third car to make sure the Corvette remained a "gem"? I have often wondered why I've made it a garage queen? I bought the car as sort of a retirement present to myself, It's been a wonderful car for long road trips and maintenance and such has been very reasonable, Probably much the same as a Malibu and Silverado.
So I guess the question is not so much a matter of mileage - interesting as it turned out to be - than (Arguably) value. Ignoring for the moment the pleasure or excitement some get out of their Corvettes, I submit all the Zaino and Griots wax will make the car more appealing, but to whom? The car is always worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.
Clearly many of you love your Corvettes and rightly so. They are great cars, but do they really deserve - at least in terms of market value - worth persevering them as some do?
I don't need 3 cars. So should I sell one of my two Mazdas or sell one and use the C6 as a daily driver. Kinda' starting to wish I'd done the latter.
