So $40k puts you in stingrays. I don't think waiting till December will make any meaningful impact in terms of depreciation of the C7. Honestly dude you might be hard pressed to find a 18-19 Stingray with the A8 for $40k. I have seen the 2014s in the upper $30k range. I would save about $10k more to make search easier. What mileage are you comfortable with?
Also, are you trying to buy private party or from a dealer? That will have somewhat of an impact

I would NOT suggest that. I would suggest YOU get it done first. I suggest you make the sale contingent on a PDI. You make the arrangements with a nearby dealership that has a Corvette certified tech. I wouldn't trust you to get a PDI done and present it to me as proof your car is good.
