So how many of you original '14 buyers still have the car?
Wow it's been a little over 5 years since I flew to New Hampshire to drive my bumblebee vette back to texas. Wow that was a fun trip saw New York City, the bowling green plant and checked out elvis's pad. Well since it's been 5 years most of them are paid off now unless you went 6 years. So do you still have it and what are your plans to do with it? And just for fun how many miles. Mine has 28k. Think I am going to keep mine for a while I still like it.

31,219 and still going to stay as my daily driver. Of course, I'm retired but when I do drive, I take the Vette!
My car was built 5/2/2014 Delivered 5/9/2014 Looks like I need to plan a birthday party in May!

Not precisely what you asked, but I still have my 2015 - with 6,000 miles and it's only been washed once (dusted lots though). Not saving it for the next guy, but I only drive it on nice days! I do, however, drive it EVERY nice day.

I sold my car several months ago. I drove it over 70,000 miles which were mostly trouble free. However, I wanted something different after five years. I picked up a new Lexus RC 350 F-Sport. I really like the car, but I do miss the Corvette occasionally. I am only 36 years old so I am hoping there will be another model that I want in my lifetime as much as the C7 - granted I live a long life of course

Funny that you would post this thread, today, because I bought my LRG Premier Edition Convertible 5 years ago, TODAY.
103,000 miles. I probably will keep it for awhile.

Took delivery of my '14 Z51 end of February 2014 (ordered November 2013). Sold it last August with 52K miles on the clock.
Currently have 2,300 miles on my '19 GS (took delivery Nov of last year) and no looking back!

I still have my original 2014 Z51, picked it up 10/4/2013, it's a DD, been on several trips (going from Houston to Chicago in 10 days or so), has 126K miles now. Still working on my goal of whoever picks it up after me has to put it back together!

I took delivery of my crystal red 14 vert (delivered by Montway from Kerbeck, Atlantic City to La Crescenta, CA) on February 13, 2014. 68K and still going strong as my daily driver.

I have an early 2015 does that count? It will be 5 years old in September. 39K miles and only one minor CEL for that crappy AFM that I cleared with OBD and it never returned (plus I got a Range that works great). Other than that, it's been bullet proof and runs great. I have noticed the AS3+'s with about 26K on them are not as grippy as when new but aren't showing any substantial wear and should be good for at least another 20K.

Bought my 2014 in november 2018. I still have it and plan to keep it. lol.
We will see what the C8 does for a possible trade. But I will get a used one so I suspect it will be another 5 years at least.

So you plan on keeping it a while or looking at a c8? For some reason I don't trust the first year of the c8 even if I love it.
