I Ordered the car and purchased the car in July of 2016, even though it is a 2017, so I Have owned it for about 52 months.
i am still waiting on an offer from Carvana. They said it may take 24-48 hours.
if I sell the car at $50k it will have cost me about an average of $5300/yr in depreciation.
if I sell it myself and get $55k, it works out to about $4100/yr ave depreciation.
best bet might be to keep it for another 5 years until I can no longer get in and out of it easily. That will make me 78 years old then.
i am worried that if I sell it I might be tempted to buy a used Z06. I guess that is not all bad.

You've already shown your hand, but why don't you take some good pics of it and post it for sale here for $55k firm and see what happens?

Just drive it to a dealership and see if they'll buy it.

Or if you're okay with a lot of money, but not the most, then CarMax, Vroom, Carvana, etc.
