I tried the Carvana route just to see. I had the opposite results on the low side. Maybe its due to being in northeast PA but I thought it was low. On the other hand, I thought about trading it in for a new ZL1 and a local dealer offered 42.5. I have a 17 stingray with nice options low miles and an M7.

Just did mine for curiosity purposes. Paid $40.5K for the car in Nov 18 and Carvana offer today is $43,517. Not bad, but not ready to sell at this point - still enjoying my C7.

A month or so ago I got a preliminary estimate from a dealer via the web, but when I went in the sales manager said that he would not be able to go that high as my car would sit on the lot until Spring.
I am thinking I may wait until then before investigating a sale again as I suspect values will go up with warmer weather and it's costing me very little to leave the C7 parked in my garage..

I just did a Carvana estimate of my 2017 GS with 11,440 miles on it in excellent condition.....Carvana Trade In Value was $47,720....far below what KBB estimate is....KBB trade in value is $50,620-$54,835 and Private Sale value is $53,164 - $57,603....now I realize KBB isn't terribly accurate but the spread between them and Carvana is ridiculous...and Carvana uses KBB for their estimates....
PS...Carava does calculate Grand Sport models by the way....

What is a Carvana estimate? I thought you sell them your car at a price they give you from your vin. I have never seen this KBB stuff on Carvana. And I don't know anybody that put in a C7 GS and got a reply, my self included. It is always "you have stumped our algorithm"

I did an estimate using no vin or license and it came back with $44,000. Then I plugged in my vin# and model designation of Grand Sport with all the details on options and it came back with the prices I quoted above. It does in fact calculate prices for grand sport models and it even shows a KBB logo on the results page. Not sure what people are doing wrong but it worked for me.

Prices are starting to plateau just a bit. More and more C8’s are being produced and with that more and more C7’s will come onto the market. Prices are still way up but if you’re on the fence about selling I’d do it now.
