I feel your pain Jimmy. I was being somewhat sarcastic....LOL. Not sure where the guy that said his is going up in value has been for the last 30 years. Oh back in the day the Vette was one of the very few that did go up in value after about 2-3 years, but those days are long gone.

Purchased my 2012 grand sport last year. I know what the value is. Do not go by what the dealers and car max are offering. I'm not selling them my car. It's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Had an offer for more then I paid and Kelly blue book lists it higher. Look at the production numbers for the c7. A lot more then the grand sport, that is what will depreciate. I see mint grand sports selling for more then used c7's. Only my opinion. I'm happy with my 7th vette. Never lost money on any one.

Really?

The roll-out of each generation of Corvette (At least the most recent generations) follows a similar pattern. In the first year, you can only get the base car, and Z51 if you want it. In the next year, the Z06 is introduced. I suspect that in light of the fact that the 2015 is going to be pushing up toward the $100,000 mark, GM will make a Grand Sport available in the 2016 or 17 model year.

I'm hoping that there is a Grand Sport model down the road. I guess I'll be looking for a good used one around 2017 or 18 if the price is right.

C7... great looking car.

I still love my C6 GS. I also think it is a great car.

I don't see anyone considering inflation. Maybe that is because we haven't had run away government spending since the Carter years. In 1976 MSRP on a new Corvette was $7,600. 5 years later in 1981 it was a little over $15,000. So a few years from now when a new stripped base C7 is selling for $106K, you really think you will be able to get a used one for less than $40K? When the economy starts recovering and there aren't 1,000 people lining up every time a job fair opens looking for 50 people to hire, expect the cost of everything to start soaring.

LOVE my C6, like the C7 but right now they are out of my budget.

Maybe one day but no time soon

We toured the Bowling Green factory Tuesday morning and at the end my wife said the same thing. Sooooo glad we found our supersonic blue 3LT 2011 GS Vert....I love watching things get built in factories

I was going to actually pull the trigger and do it, but the my boat engines blew and I had to repower the boat!!! Bye bye c7 idea!!

I keep thinking the more I look at them, the more I'll like them, and the more I'd have to have one..................



But I don't.

Especially in the coupe form!
But I bought my 2013 427 convertible last year (will be one year in a couple of days) and absolutely love it.
I love the lines, the wide body, and yes the LS7! I plan on enjoying my C6 for many years to come, if the good Lord is willing and the Creek don't rise.
I am content.

Everytime I think about getting a C7, I just look at my C6 coupe and the desire goes away; especially when I start considering the cost of a Z51 with a couple of options...

As long as there is testosterone there will be men....and some boys.....that think their cars are better and worth more than anyone else's just cause they own them. We've all seen the type....."I'm selling my car and I want 30% over blue book cause I know its the greatest car ever cause its mine and its in excellent condition". Only about 5% of cars over 3 years old fall into that category, with most of those being hobby cars....Vettes....etc... that are not daily drivers. Vehicle condition is a subjective matter. Not sure how anyone can get into these forums these days and say that their late model car is going up in value. May be a few rare exceptions.....limited production...etc.....but don't think any Grande Sport Corvette fits into the "value rising" category.

Al, I remember those days well. I think that my 75 MSRP'd around 7+-K and my 79 MSRP'd over 13K. My fully loaded (27 options) 77 Coupe DeVille MSRP'd for 11K...those were the days.

My wife & I took the tour 2 years ago. Gave me a whole new appreciation for Corvette quality control.

Those weren't really the days. Sure, the cars sound now like they were cheaper. But by the late 70s I had been a degreed engineer for for about 8 years and was only making about $25K. Inflation has increased the numbers for both our salaries and the price of cars, but the buying power is about the same as it was then.
