You will never get the money back that you paid for it in addition in the first place.

Yes, it definitely will. Maybe not so much in trade in, especially in today's market. Some day in the near future it will be sought after by that person looking for a special Z06. As a matter of fact, I think all C6 Z06's will soon be worth a pretty penny. If the auto industry is forced to produce smaller more efficient cars, our Z06's will be sought after by those with the need for speed and their love for the ultimate Corvette. Our 427's may soon be in high demand by collectors and Corvette enthusiast.

25 years ago, they were saying the same thing when the C4 came out. It was such a big step up in performance and styling from a C3. They said it would be a collector some day. Go look at a newspaper and see what you can get a nice, clean low miles '84-'87 C4 for nowadays. Now take that number and multiply it by 1. That's what C6 Z06's will be going for in 2034. If you have a RF edition, times that value by 1.1 or so. That's the truth guys.
History says that the only cars worth more in the future than they cost the owner are either: 1) Supercars siezed by the DEA, therefore costing nothing; 2) A small, priestly little car that was owned by someone who later became the Pope.
Adjusted for inflation, everything else is worth less from the moment you drive it off the showroom floor until the day you want to sell it...

The poster doesn't even have a vette. Just seems to post a bunch of questions fishing for answers.

Perhaps a slight increase in value for the limited edition, after all this is just a different paint color and graphics package.. Not a big deal to most performance enthusiasts IMO.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

I am not saying that you can get back what you paid for a RF or any C6 Z06. I am saying that after all the use you get out of them and when you decide to sell, you should be able to get a decent price for the car. It may be one of the last of the American muscle cars for awhile.

If your buying it to make money forget it. Maybe when your dead and gone a Limited Editon will be worth something.
In May I purchased my Wil Coooksey for $1300 under list, I bought the car to drive period because I liked it.
Last month here in New England Corvette Mike sold a Wil Cooksey for $64900.00 with 6K miles. #271.
I met a gentleman at a cruise night this past summer who paid $120,000 for his and I'll bet right about now he is sick.
So if you find one that you like and have the money buy it and enjoy it for the ZO6 in my mind is one fine machine.
And for those out there that right away will jump in and tell us we were nuts for spending money for limited edition ZO6 please keep it to yourself for some of us are nuts but we like what we see and have the money to buy.
Only my 2 cents.

Maybe, who knows what the market will be 5 or 10 years from now. I think the low mileage cars will be worth a bit more but you never know. But if the C-7 has a 4 or 6 cylinder engine then all bets are off. Todays kids have grown up with import cars with fart can mufflers.I think big HP and Torque will be in demand if it is no longer being produced.

I didn't care about the Wil Cooksey Signature or the decal on the hood. I just wanted a Crystal Metallic Red Z06. All the other options that came with the car was a plus for me.
