The dealership owner said they like to start it and roll it out the doors of the showroom and take it for a spin...which I happily did...It was the first time I'd ever driven a Corvette...I have lots of Viper miles.. 1995 and 03 versions with different HP...that's a fun car too but not very good gas mileage
But to your point who knows how much it's really started and run

Instead of comparing to a C7, compare to 2013 first and see where you think you should be.
In short, you can get a brand new 2013, optioned the same / similar for maybe a grand or two more. Is two grand worth a model year? to me it isn't. If I'm buying a leftover 2012 after the 2013 model has ceased production then I need at least 10 percent more off of the price from a 2013. That means you should be at least 5 grand less than a 2013 and it quite simply isn't. Check out some supporting member dealers (kerbeck) and you will see what they offer on 2013's.

Last month Kerbeck was offering about 18% off MSRP for 2013 GS Coupes. You have to deduct at least an additional 8% from that since the subject car is a 2012. That would bring it to 26% off MSRP.
$72,000 less 26% = $53,280
..but that was last month and they also mentioned another possible $3k off if you met certain criteria.
I can only image what this is doing to the used C6 market. No surprise though, it happens every time a new generation is released.
