Hi all.
I previously owned a C4 convertible which I sold a couple of years ago after many years of ownership. It lived in my heated garage and only ventured out on sunny days. I liked to fuss over it.
Several years ago I visited the factory in Bowling Green and got to watch the C7 being built on the assembly line. I haven’t been able to get that car out of my head since.
So….. now I’m starting my search for a 2016 (or newer) stingray coupe with a manual transmission, and Z51 package. It needs to be a 2LT or 3LT.
I want a car that is in very nice condition, no accidents and fewer than 60,000 kms (40,000 miles).
What would be a fair price for a 2016 model? I want a 2016 because I like the flat bottom steering wheel and I want Apple CarPlay. Thanks.

Welcome and best of luck with your search for a 2016+ C7.
To get an idea of pricing, take a look at the C7 Corvettes for Sale section as well as online sources like Carvava, Craigslist, EBay, etc.

Welcome to the forum, you have come to the right place to ask all questions Corvette related. A nationwide search on Autotrader reveals 1,477 C7's 2016 or newer... use those cars as a basis for pricing

Try searching here: https://www.autotempest.com/. Good luck with the search. And if you are just starting your search, it's okay to throw the first one back. Big sea, LOTS of fish.

The 2LT checked all of my boxes-Thought I needed a GS or Z06 -but I'm extremely satisfied-bought my 2016 Z51 in June-8100 miles M7-convertible-$41K won't touch one like it-but , they're priced all over the board-I'm sure you'll find one to suit you !!!!! M7 with active rev matching is neat-
