Buying a new '19 Z06
Wow after reading some of these posts on how these cars drop in value big time, has me thinking twice. I’m just afraid of buying new because u never know how the drove it in the first 500 Miles without passing 4,000 rpm. And I don’t see any used ones the exact way I want it. This sucks

It is without doubt a car and not an investment. I bought my 2019 Z06 with no thoughts about depreciation, or tried in my mind to justify the need. It is nothing more than one hell of a thrilling adult toy.
No need to analyze it, you have the funds, you have the desire, than do it.
ENJOY!

If this is your first one buy something with low miles and experience the car first. I just got my first one and love it but there is a lot of things to know when buying. FYI, side skirts, brake dust, paint protection, clear roof (sucks in Florida) vs painted or carbon fiber. The list goes on and on so if your buying new be well aware of all the options.

My only regret would being spending Z06 money and not getting exactly what I want. Buy it for you and not the next guy. Drive it, enjoy it, and you will never regret it and when it comes time to sell/trade, it will all work out. In the meantime, you will have a lot of fun.

I bought a used 2016 Z06, the condition was as new.
Why not save thousands and buy used? There are many for sale, with full factory warranty.
Don't worry about the first 500 miles break in, you still have a full factory warranty.

I paid 96k for mine in 2015, It is now worth 60k. Basically $1000. month for the 3 years I owned it. Cheaper than a lease, which is what I wanted to do. Of course tax, license and insurance is an added expense

Right now new ones can be has for low 70's. I want to spring but it makes sense to wait a bit for the right deal. 2019 M7 is sweet one to have and to hold.

Buying new
The advantage to buying new is you can get exactly what you want. Used you can shop around and find one similar. With vettes, they're usually low mileage and probably well cared for. This is my 5th new one.
