I was thinking Z51 as that was my previous C7!

Download Corvette DNA on your phone and you can look up prices by year and every option available for current value... Then you can ballpark where the value will go in 1 year...

After searching for my vert for over a year I can say the pricing estimates given here are very accurate. 14 -15' drop top cars (non GS/Z06), unless they have high miles or condition issues are all going to be in the $40 - 50K range. Not saying that rare buy in the $30K range will never exist I would just be extra cautious of that car as I looked at one of those myself but quickly walked away. Of course in any used item there can be that owner with any of a long list of their own problems necessitating a quick sale - drug habit, divorce, bail, kid that won't leave home, kid that needs bail, etc...... 
Good luck with your search and just allow yourself to enjoy that part of the experience as well that way you improve your odds of success.

$39,000 to $46,000. I have been looking at Z-06's however I see lots of C-7's out there in this price range. I did notice a lot of them will sit on a car lot for quite a long time before they sell and the cars for $39,000 are gone quickly. What I have realized is some of them are actually sold before they hit the car lot. People tell a salesman they are looking for a certain kind of Corvette and one comes in and it's sold immediately before it is even posted online. In order to get the really good deals you almost have to wait until these cars get to be at least 5 years old which the 2014 is at right now. Since a 2015 is the same body style it seems there is not really that much of a difference in price. One thing is guaranteed and that is the fact they will depreciate down even if they have low miles. I seen a 2005 Corvette yesterday with only 4,000 miles and it had the original tires on it!
