Default Looking for C7 for <35k..................

With new 2018's at $48k, I can't see spending more than 35 for a 14/15/16.

1LT is fine, they all have the same motor.

Thank You.

With 2018's out selling for 48, I'd say any 1LT with over 40k miles would fall into this bracket right now.

I'd like to see something close to this start happening too....but have a feeling it may not start until the Spring. Also, I see many cars priced @ around $50k that should be much lower.

Those all must be 1lt. How much is a 2014/2015 1lt in the boards here? I haven't looked but for the price you are talking I may have to, Which dealers because all I found was one at 49k

A lot of the used Corvettes I see the asking price is more then new.

Some people must think adding 2 years and miles to a Corvette must equal adding dollars to the price.

Last month a forum dealer was selling New 2017 Stingrays for $43,000 (25% off sticker)

I see new c7 1lts being advertised on the forum for corvette owners with a 1999 or newer corvette for 43 grand...add 3 grand if you don't already have a corvette loyalty ...

For 9 grand more than 35 grand you want for a three year old corvette at 35 grand...just buy new...

I do suggest a z51 c7 manual 1LT for 49 but that of course is a slippery slope..

Good luck and wait another few months to get your 35 grand preowned c7..

I'd raise your price offered a few grand from 35 and someone will eventually bite...

Good luck

Strange but the used C7 market is holding steady this year. Prices are staying near or above $40K, which is good for the overall C7 market.

Very true.

I think I'm stuck on seeing the new 2018's at 47-8k and most of the used cars are 2/3LT's which would cost 53-57k for a 2018.

However, who is buying a 3LT Z51 for $57k when a bare bones GS is 57k?

At any rate, all great buys as they hold thier value.

The pricing is a little odd to say the least. Last year I found a CPO '14 2LT with nice options and low miles for just a little over $40k. Nothing comparable this year. I found a used '17 GS this year on the lot next to a new one. Same equipment. New was $56k, used was $62k. Once the incentives are gone I guess we will see what the market holds.

Steve, can you provide insight on why a bare bones GS is a better choice than a 3LT Z51 at the same price?

There's a 14 on carmax now, 64K miles for $35K, well $34,998. There's a couple around that price nationally with similar miles. Anything with lower miles seems to be salvage/rebuilt titled cars.

I would take a bare bones GS with the more aggressive appearance over a fully decked out stingray.....

Plus, I believe all GS are drysump so that really makes the choice easier in my mind

They are not holding steady at all. Asking prices are holding steady around $50k but they are not selling!
