Darn. I was just about to drive over to my local Chevy dealer on a whim and buy one. I was hoping to test drive a few and maybe bring one home today to surprise the wife.

There's always someone bashing those who decide to sell. The market was down most of 2020...but what gets lost at times is a lot of folks lost their jobs and had to dip into finances they had not planned to touch.
So I say...if you find equity in your vehicle....sell it if it helps or if you just want to.....even if it's just for a few thousand in your pocket. You don't owe anyone an explanation for doing what makes sense for you. |

Depends where you live. No gas shortage in CA but premium is selling for $4.40-4.50 in the SF Bay Area but gas prices are always higher here. The only places usually more expensive than CA are Hawaii and Alaska.
It wouldn't surprise me for premium prices to push up to or over $5 after the CA refineries switch to their "summer blend" which supposedly reduces carbon emissions but all I know is that it raises gas prices further during the summer. BTW, I lived in Boston during the gas "crisis" in the 1973 and in DC in 1979 and those gas shortages lasted MONTHS, not just a week.

You don't owe anyone an explanation for doing what makes sense for you. I think those of us that have posted are simply wondering if the prospect of making (or more accurately, not losing) what amounts to a few thousand bucks is worth giving up a vehicle that brings miles of smiles. It's more of an "are you sure?" type of post so that fellow Vette owners aren't filled with seller's remorse later. Nobody here is trying to put anyone else down or bash them, and especially not if financial situations necessitate a sale. It's a discussion forum afterall. Let's not be afraid to have discussions. |
