My 2019 ZO6 convertible is the most beautiful enjoyable car I've ever owned. I did an R8C delivery on February of 2018, the first "19 Delivered at that time. It sits in an air conditioned garage most of the time, only getting wet when washed. Over the weekend with the news of the C7 coming to an end this summer, I thought I would look into possibly trading for what appears to be a 1year ZR1 production. I reached out to two Florida dealers to look at the numbers........ Purchasing a 19 ZR1 is not the issue. Getting a reasonable offer for my relatively brand new ZO6 Vert was! My car stickered for $100k. I was fortunate to have employee pricing available, so I paid slightly less. Today I was offered a high of $65k and a low of $62K. I was in the retail car business for a good portion of my life and no expectations that the purchase of this beautiful car would be anything but a cost of doing business for such a wonderful exotic toy. A roughly 40% depreciation within 1 year of ownership is laughable. Fortunately I have no problem enjoying this stunning piece of work for many years to come, but thought I'd share this for those might not.....
i would have expected to pay 75k to maybe 80k for this car brand new. And a 10 to 15k Hit from there is reasonable
Lol, no way in hell the entry level vette is going to have 750hp. Maybe when the c10 or c11 comes. If anything the c8 will prob have 550hp.
GM made too many z06s and buying one new or ordering one is insane considering you can buy a used under 4k miles for around 60k.
EDIT: OP's Z06 is ******* nice btw. Damn I would love to own that in A8 as a daily driver. Viper for the weekends!
Who said anything about entry level? You need to slow down and rear people's posts, I said a couple of years... (when Z06 arrives). Base willl have 500hp, not 550.

Yes I did, it's not unrealistic to imagine these cars will have hybrid drivetrains. Putting down a ton of power when combining electric and gas. After the c8 will be the c9, then the c10 and so on. I mean they could change the chassis code.

I think your car looks really nice and as you've probably also concluded, you likely should just keep it. But as a comment, I do believe your math is a little out of kilter. Your car stickered at $100K, but you bought it at a negotiated price with a GM discount, someplace (I would bet) in the low $90K range. You are talking to a dealer who really makes his money on the used car market, not the new ones, so the very best you could hope for is auction pricing or maybe a tad more when you get rid of it now....maybe. He'll want to make at least $5-7000 on the deal when he sells it, "USED", so what would you expect? You can sell it on your own and then have to pay the sales tax on 100% of the new car you'd buy unless you can get the dealer to do a courtesy trade for you, but that's a logistical nightmare between you, your buyer and the dealer. It's a mess....the only possible alternative is to offer the ZR-1 dealer a dog **** number for the new car commensurate with the dog **** number he offered you for your beauty. Sometimes, not often, that works....but I'd keep your car, she's a honey!
New z06's in my area usually sticker around 100k as you say yours was. On the flip side I see a lot of clean low mileage z06's being listed for sale in the ball park of 70-80k and what they are actually selling for is unknown to me. I kinda think the market doesn't know where it wasn't to be with these. Crazy to me that the dealer wouldn't want to work it more if you're about to jump into a new ZR1.
The prices of ADM's are coming down here in SC. One of the local dealerships had 12 HTC on the lot, 4 weeks ago at $21K ADM. Today they have 4 remaining and now I see they lowered the ADM to $17K. Looks like some locations are getting saturated and will have a hard time getting the big ADM anymore.
