Probably not as much as last May. I saw a collection of usd C8's & C7Z in FWB still parked for over a month at a GMC/Buick dlr in FWB FL. Step-One Automotive. No show on their website. Looked like a car show. All bought at auction it appears. Their timing is off.

2022 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Dealer who I bought my new car from has 4 2021/22 slightly used Vettes sitting. When I ordered mine in October , there was nothing to look at on their lot.
More have been built now so it makes sense that there will be a slight cooling down on pricing for used although still not MSRP for those not willing to wait.

As better weather comes along, typically prices go up. Will that happen this year - hard to say with inflation running rampant and budgets being squeezed.

If I could see the future, I could answer that question. But if I could see the future, I would be too busy playing the ponys, sports books and stock market to be reading this thread

On the plus side:
Spring is high season for purchases.
Could be a substantial price increase on '23 models
A strike could tighten the market
Inflation fears could cause people to want to have money tied up in goods rather than cash
The negative:
No strike, availability continues to grow
New model year being produced means yours is a 'year older'
Inflation and possible recession cause discretionary spending to fall, hence fewer buyers.

I don't think it's that odd of a question. It may not occur in AZ. or FL., but where it gets snow and cold spring fever is a real thing. When you're ******* deep in snow, the last thing you think about is a Corvette or a motorcycle. When warm weather arrives LOTS of people go to bike shops and look at sports cars (in these areas). In NORMAL times this is a valid thing, but today with all the shortages and waiting, it probably won't make much of a difference.

I would say a bunch more people for the first time ever, can sell a vehicle for a big profit. There are so many jumping on the sell my C8 for big money band wagon there are quite a few cars available, pulling down the overall prices. I remember when I saw the car at the reveal I told my wife "if I drive it for a year, the most we will probably lose is $10k". $53k for mine is still a ways off it appears.
