Market flooded
I don't know where you're located, but it sure seems like everyone is dumping Vettes. Facebook is just flooded with them. All years. Is it the economy, or just that time of year. With so many available it looks to me that there are bargains to be had!!

Always bargains to be had
Seen plenty of Z06s in the low 50s with low mileage and clean titles. Seen the “hopefuls” trying to sell Stingrays tor $70K as well. Be patient and find the deal that works for you
I went thru Carvana personally

I believe the market is adjusting but there is also time to dump Vettes for the winter for some.
I've been watching CarMax prices and an identical 2015 Z51 with the same miles as mine that I bought exactly a year ago from them is now about $5k cheaper.
Oh well. No plans to sell mine.
Vette prices always dip this time of year and bounce back a little bit in the spring.

Going into cooler weather usually results in price drops for cars like the Corvette. And owners do put them up for sale as the driving season comes to an end.

CarMax had a 2016 Z with 83k miles ( not low miles) 2LZ a few days ago that looked pretty nice for around $52k.
Not going to find a low mileage queen Z in the 50's.

The ones in my area on Facebook Marketplace seem to sit for months and months, even fairly priced ones. There are a LOT of them. You have to price a driven car very low to sell since the market is full of low mileage examples. Driven cars have to be priced right to attract buyers who are just getting into the C7 scene and might not have the funds for a garage queen.

During the cold weather months is the best time to buy a sportscar, when there's typically lower demand & prices. I got a great deal on my Z06 when I bought it in November of 2021.
The worst time to buy is in the Spring, when everyone is itching to pick up a new sportscar. Prices seem to be highest then.
The only thing that I've noticed recently is that there are A LOT of low mileage C8 corvettes being sold; and the prices on them have been going down due to the high number of cars available. I just checked....there are 6,771 C8 Corvettes for sale (nationwide) on AutoTrader alone right now. There are "only" 2,241 C7 Corvettes for sale on AutoTrader.
