Someone is getting a really good deal. Best of luck with the sale Ken.
Also having seen the car in person a few years ago, I can vouch for the excellent condition of it.

Seems like a great buy for someone, assuming the car is as good as it looks. No reason to think it isn't.
The "discouraging" issue to me is not the car itself, but the realization of how quickly Corvettes seem to depreciate. 50K miles notwithstanding.
I have- or was - considering a new C7 for some time. Then I found out what my 33K mile C6 coupe was "worth". I guess there are a great many cars that depreciate to a greater extent, But the difference between my C6 and a new C7 was far beyond my marginal propensity to consume. Yikes. It would appear if I was trading in my C6 for, say, a new C7. In a very few years the combined depreciation between the two cars would have been more than what I paid for my house.
Now, please understand I am not being critical. The market is what the market does. At the risk of setting myself up here, let me set the stage by saying after owning a number of other "enthusiast" cars over the last 50 or so years I have never seen depreciation like this. I have never lost this kind of money on my Porsches, Alfas and even a BMW. (please don't tell me to go buy another one of those marques, I know I know..) If I wanted one I'd have bought another one, but that's not the issue here. I love my Corvette - my second BTW since 1966.
I guess my point is that I really love my Corvette, but the chances of buying another new one are well beyond my means.
Seems to me that the current "entry level" Corvette might be a nice used one, like this...
Am I the only one on the forum who feels that way?
No argument intended, just my personal story of my first brand new Corvette and the likliehood of buying another.
It is what it is, I guess.
Just sayin

Part of my decision to buy a new GS is based on the fact that I paid $3K off MSRP when I bought my 2014 and I'm getting 13% off the new Grand Sport. This puts the price of the new 2019 within $1,200 of what I paid for my 2014. All things considered, life is too short

I can see your point but I'm not one to buy a car as an investment

Perhaps being a retired old fogey, on a fixed income, may influence my point of view. I can't rationalize accepting a higher price (read monthly payment) with the assurance I'm likely to get a raise or a bonus in 6 months.
But, yes, if you want the Corvette, are in a position to afford it then, by all means, go for it.
Makes sense to me
