2014 C7 sold
Today I sold the StingRay couldn't pass up the offer since my StingRay was depreciating fast. Since this was only temporary till I get a C7 Z06. I got out while the gettin was good. I drove the C7 daily and put in some pretty hard drives during 20k+ miles. My C7 StingRay handled every bit I dished out. Great car and will be back with a C7 Z06 in the near future. For now I'll be in my 2015 GMC Sierra SLT

2014 2LT Convertible, AT, 20k miles (which is high)
Assuming a few other options not listed, such as NPP, my guess is you sold to a private party for...
$56,000 - $57,000.

Thanks, tire were definitely needed but again I drove her pretty stout being my 6th Vette I know these cars are built and engineered for that type of driving. My StingRay never broke or gave me any problems at all, 20k+ flawless miles.

Your MSRP was probably about $64k - $66k depending on purchase date. So, that's only 10-12% depreciation on a 1 year old car with 20k miles.
2014s holding value well so far, even after the release of the 2015s.

A Corvette is NOT an investment. I bought mine to use and enjoy. I don't care how good a deal anyone gets to sell their car. I can not imagine driving a truck rather then my Corvette. The truck depreciates too. I am not following the logic here at all.

Everything depreciates over time. The OP said he sold his 14 and bought a GMC Truck.....Then he traded that in later on for another Vette. He also stated that he put 20,000 miles on a ONE YEAR OLD C7...dare say he USED and ENJOYED it. I follow the logic....why can't you?? And to the OP....Welcome back!!!!

Hey Red good morning. I was replying to the post above mine. The whole point was to rebut the logic. I agree with you.

Logic has nothing to do with buying Car or truck. For me, it was simply money lost and time wasted. NO logic there, but a lesson learned no replacement for the Vette. Just happy to be back in a Vette
