C7.R value
Looking for opinions as to whether or not a C7R will appreciate in value over time or not. I'm just curious to see what the overall inclination is for this limited run.

10-15% loss each year for the first 4 years. After that, the depreciation curve flattens out slightly.

Doubtful it will appreciate anytime soon. It's possible it won't depreciate as fast as other C7s, but only time will prove that true or false.

Typically cars that hold value or appreciate are rare and special "performance" models, not just marketing pieces.

My memory could be faulty and that would make me wrong, but I swear about 3-4 weeks ago, someone posted that they received about 20k (give or take) off their C7.R.
I do not recall if it was new, but I believe it was.
