I think I said something like that back in '76 and that was 20 Vettes ago! Oh, well. Never say never!

I made the big mistake of announcing to my wife that my C7 purchase of 2 yrs ago would be my last Corvette.

I guess it all depends on how the C8 looks (at 68 I doubt I will be getting a C9) and more importantly how my retirement funds look.

The C7 is my 16th and last, unless a C8 comes out while I'm still upright.

The BEST Corvette I will own will be my [B][I]NEXT one!

82 years old, she wanted the C6 in 2006. She wanted the C7 in 2014. She is expecting a C8 as an early adopter. Mid engine or not.

No sir, I can not.

My Unless:
1. I get an itch to go back to manual from an A8
2. I see a new color I have to have.
3. I get bored and want to try a different model...

#1 may be the only scenario that drives me into another c7...cylinder deactivation is getting annoying. The A8 is fantastic, but I do miss rowing through the gears.

Never say never!!
When the mid engine C8 comes out I may have to spend my kids inheritance!!

Last one till the next one!

Well I'd love to be able to get another one. Maybe a C8...but, and there's always a "but". However since I'm retired now and 1.) my only income is S.S. and 2.) I have spinal stenosis which affects my right leg on long trips so most likely this C7's my last one. This really sucks big time.

My 2014 c7 is my third and probably last because I do want to have plenty cash in the bank for retirement and rising medical costs when I retire. I am predicting that health insurance in 10 years will be $4K per month for me and the wife. Thanks to ADA that is a disaster and all the medicare frauds.

Wellllll, I'm 72 and on my 7th Vette........

My 2015 is definitely my last Corvette, but I've also got a 67 Corvette convertible.

I bought the C7 to have a convertible I could drive on my daily commute on nice sunny days. Also did the museum delivery which is something I wanted to do.

I'm 56 now and when I retire in 3 years the C7 will be sold because when I'm retired I can drive my 67 anytime I want to top down cruise. And 3 sports cars now (the c7, 2006 PCA Club Coupe 2 of 50, and the C2) plus my daily/bad weather driver, is probably one car too many because the all black c7 gets to sit outside 24/7, 365 days a year--two car garage is occupied by the 67 and the Porsche.

Recently turned 74 and loving driving my 2014 Laguna Blue 3LT. It is my second Corvette, had a 58 when I was twenty but totaled it. I saw a car collector interviewed recently and loved his quote, "I'm one car away from Complete Satisfaction". Sounds like a lot of Vette drivers I know.

lol.

This is my first. My next car will probably be a Mclaren.

I have had four, 96,04,12 and 16.
The C7 by far the best styling, performance and technology.
As I will soon be 74, this may be the last.
My concerns rest with GM:
They choose to market the car thru a small number of dealers with prices the local dealer cannot compete with.
Those high volume dealers usually are not interested in a trade so they low ball your trade.
The other part is moving the car from one of the high volume dealers is the transportation costs, or negotiating a drop ship. Not all dealers will accept a courtesy delivery.
Even if you purchase from a high volume dealer, I have purchased two,now your faced with a dealer that cannot service the car. We have all read about problems with simple oil changes.
Then you read about, cracked windshields, torque tubes, paint issues, panel gap issues. I expect better of GM.
That said, I love my 2016, TR Coupe, Z51, Manual.
One of the reasons I read the Forum is to continue learning from others.

I hear you! My best friend has a 650s and I absolutely love driving that car! He has ordered a new 720 and has been tempting me to buy his 650s, but at this economic point in my life I still like to eat and have a roof over my head.

Same. 58 now so the c8 is too late on my timeline.

Lots of potential with the c7 z06 that I have yet to explore and that should happily fill my needs for a long time to come.

my family knows I've spouted that "assurance" more than once (as I have done on this site numerous times)......and throw in all the money I've spent "individualizing" my (six) Vettes.

BUT; this is it! I'm within a year of retiring on a very fixed income. It is a school teacher's retirement and therefore it is not only fixed but basic.

Therefore, the Vette I bought a year ago; 2014 Torch Red Z51 1lt 7MT convertible (now with 10K miles) along with about 3K in "improvements" including a Corsa sport exhaust and an aFe CAI PLUS it will be paid off in alittle less than a year. The numbers are clear, the road ahead is clear and I have entered my second longest monogamous relationship
