so m-y '18s are to be produced for a total of less than six months (incl. production before the current plant shutdown) ? strange...

Dates corrected

Interesting. I thought maybe they'd bump up the horsepower a little. :cheers:

With all the rumors and speculation I thought we'd see some significant changes in 2019......

same shit different year :)

25 years from now, your 2018 will be worth more. (less made)

Hello Ken, so we are running out of 2018 if the change over is in Jan for my ZR1, when are they going to build them?????????

Honestly, the car hasn't even been announced and you want Ken to answer that?

Ken knows I want Ken to answer that. :eek: Just busting, have know Ken and done business with him since the late 90's

Ohhhhhh.

That did not work for the 1970 Corvettes. 1969's are worth the same or more and they made twice as many.

You got off easy. I got my brand new '16 in April 2016, a few months after they were available...and in under two years, the 2019, 4-model years ahead, will be out. Fucking GM. Now wonder these cars are sold at +20% off and are worth nothing in the used market. They hold value as well as a Prius. Great cars, but definitely NOT worth buying at the onset of a new model year. Great bang for the buck, if you buy at the END of the model year...

clarification: I was asking the question about production of model year ('m-y') '18s, not my '18 (I don't have one).
Sorry if I created confusion, and thanks to all that responded !

Depends on how you look at it!
Actually they made about half the numbers in 2017 Z06'sof the 2016's and even less for 2018's which helps your car price. :D 2015 Z06 has two awards by KBB
resale car of the year. Also used car of the year! 2015's are holding value very well!
:cheers:

Generally speaking, don't worry about a couple grand, give or take in resale. It's only taking away from the greatness of ownership. Generally speaking.

NO Vette comes close to the bath I took when I sold my XLR in 2012.
2005, like new, 12,000 miles.
Bought at $77k, sold at $27k.

hcvone,


You know that as soon as I know something firm I will announce it here!!


Thanks for the post and looking forward to doing more business with you.


Ken

The only time I made money on a new car was when I bought a 2008 Viper $92,000 MSRP bought it for $61,000 Sold it for $66,000 a year later. That rarely happens !!!!!

A very fortunate deal.:thumbs:
