Mine is bought...base.....$61,190.....I think it is a screaming bargain ….if you want a C7 get one….but the C8 is not a evolution ...it is a revolution......so it may have a greater effect on the value of the previous years....

I can't help but think it is sad that our society has become so cynical that a sizable number of people think everyone is a crook and a liar …. Yes the idea that a car like this can be bought for 60k is unbelievable....but the fact is..... that it can..... so get over it....
I would not be surprised that there is a increase in prices for options in 2020....but since GM has made the 59.9 the headline in their marketing...... they will stick with it come hell or high water..

Really??? I was/am referring to the Convertible model and that Sir cannot be bought for $59,999 or $60K as the base price is almost $10K more than the coupe. I was not being cynical or doubting of Chevy's intentions...again read the post correctly--CONVERTIBLE then you can compare apples to apples

OK getting WAY off the subject . I ask if the price as GM says $60,000 Base price, how will this effect the price of older Corvettes well C-6 C-7s . I see some going $60-$70- even $80,000 for a Hennessey 700 HP Corvette .. Can you buy one for the $60,000 probably not but still would a person buy a used Corvette for more that a new Mid Eng . Corvette ????? I am thinking about this deal myself looking to buy something a used Corvette for more that a new one ? , some of them are very nice and worth the money buy still used and in a year I think the price on these used Corvette will drop so bad investment I'm thinking ???

Yes it will affect the C7, question is, how many are left? Barring the big dealers, most Chevy stores don't have 20 units laying around and they have another 3-4 months to unload them before ANY C8's show up. Even when C8s do hit the streets, most are sold units and the ones that will be avail will be 2-3lts with hefty stickers and selling at MSRP and subject to ADM..... a C7 with a fat discount could be really appealing at that point. If you really want a C7, it would be a great time to buy one.

As to “impact” of C8 on used C7 prices? I’ve been following them for a year or so. Prices continue to depreciate, but surprisingly not a step-change vs. the pre-release curve. The car I paid $ 41K for a year ago probably would go for $36K today — but that’s with 9K add’l fun miles on it! Expect that to continue.

Autos are faster on the street or the track, but regardless there is a bigger demand for auto's just because that is what the market is dictating.
