Corvettes always have good resale value, not a surprise the C8 continues this trend.

"These projections assume a five-year ownership period and approximately 75,000 miles on the odometer." .
Would any of you seriously consider paying 54% of new price for a 5 year old C8 with 75,000 miles? I think the folks at KBB are either smoking the funny stuff or perhaps neglecting the enormous accumulated inflation in the last few years.

Yes, i don't disagree…but on the other hand I have not bought a used car in the past 30 years and trade in all my cars vs sell them privately so I can’t speak for their accuracy. I do use them to baseline my trade-in value but argument that with research...
