Simple supply and demand at play here. I bought a 427 new collectors edition in early march with an msrp of 92k for 80700. There were plenty around and soft demand. I waited a year for the inevitable. There is no dealer colusion here.

I disagree this is not a Dodge Ram or Ford Pinto..
this was promoted as a limited edition specialty corvette. If I went out and bought a Shelby GT 500 Supersnake for 110k right now and went to sell it 6 months from now I bet I get 110k or more for it. My point is any specialty limited edition car that any dealer is selling should hold its value more than the same type model without the limited edition specialty tag.

Corvettes are not an investment unless you have 50 years to hold onto one. Sure they may depreciate a little less than a Cruze but they are not rare. The C7 will depreciate just as fast as the C6. Nothing new about that.

At the time I bought this one you were not getting any discounts here in Florida not to mention but this 60th Anniversary was hard to find. To be honest here in Florida they were charging market adjustments which I didnt have to pay because I know the GM of the dealership. I know he mentioned to me they got 8k more for the last one they sold similar to mine.
As for what I would be trading it for isnt very expensive but still 77k.

Furthermore...If you believe the Ford Dealer called the Chevy Dealer for a price on your 427 Vert...I have a bridge I would l like to sell you. The Simple fact is....Dealers DON'T call other dealers for prices. There are prices posted on the internet Auction sites and NADA books. And, OF COURSE THE DEALER BUYS WHOLESALE AND SELLS RETAIL......GEEEESH thats what he does and how he stays in business. You take on a multimillion dollar buisness and buy wholesale and sell BELOW wholesale like some of you what him to do and see how long he sticks around.
