2022 C6 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Which is exactly why I rarely buy any cars brand new, especially Corvettes. There are a ton of extremely low mileage Corvettes out there when the original owner jumps to the next model. Let them take the depreciation hit & you get a practically brand new car 40-50% off original price in a lot of cases. I would love to go through the museum delivery process (that's been a wish since I can remember) but unless I know I am going to keep the Vette I order for a very long time, I'm going to look for one that has exactly what I want (color, interior, options, etc.) that is a couple years old. It might take awhile (searched 2 years for my GS) but I'd rather keep my money for other things while still getting the vehicle I want.
My wife's '16 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - bought brand new because most used Jeeps I could find had high mileage, were out of warranty & were within a few thousand of a brand new one. I also knew she'd be keeping it for quite some time & they retain their value very well so if she does want to sell it some day for something else, the hit won't be that bad at all.

Trade in a Ford or Chevy, and what they offer you is always an insult. When trading in a Chevy years ago, the salesman told me there are tons of used ones available, and not that many people want them. The price reflects that.
But the trade-in value on Toyota trucks is unbelievable. When they give me the number, the first thing that pops in my mind is "Where do I sign?" I'm not kidding about this. The difference is YUGE.
I don't put enough miles on them for durability to matter, but the trade-in value sure made a believer out of me.The last I knew the T. Tacoma was the most popular pick-up in the world. The market seems to bear that out.

$60k for the ZR1 is a good price with the low miles. If I would have been able to find an Inferno Orange ZR1 I would have purchased it regardless of cost.

9 model year old car vs new one for about the same price, I know which one I would choose.

60K for that car is an awesome deal if it checks out mechanically. The problem is that people just don't realize what a great deal it really is for what you get.

A few years ago, "Corvette" mag rated the C6 ZR1 as still "King of the Hill." Considering all performance aspects, it edged out the C7 Z06.
