Default Would you sell your C7 if offered a premium?

With such high demand for these cars, if offered a premium I wonder how many people would sell.

I guess you can always order another one, but the wait would be hard.

Everything has a price. Not a fan of the "I'd never sell in a million years" quotes.

I love my new C7, but would let it go for the right price.

I'm first in line at my dealer for whatever hipo version comes out, but I'd like to hang on to my current one until next year.

Not sure, but it would have to be at least $15k over what I paid.

"Would you sell your new C7?""
"Sorry, not for sale."
"Everything has a price. Certainly you would sell for a million dollars, right?"
"Yeah, of course ..."
"Well now that we have established you are a *****, the rest is just dickering over the price!"

Since it;s been nothing but arguing with the wife since I got it, I would. I love my new car, it's been my dream to own a corvette this sharp since 12 years of age, and I would hate to see it go, but would let it go for what I put into it.

Sounds like a no win situation. Keep it she's unhappy, sell it you will be bitter. Hope you are able to work it out somehow.

Two words. New Zealand. If you want to sell your c7 for a huge premium. Google a few dealers there that deal in importing American sports cars. They sell 13/14 mustang gt500s over there for $100k and more.

Never, I waited a long time for this car. Money is not that important to me in this phase of life. You haven't lived until you ran thru the 7 Speed on this performance machine!

Now that's a real shame and I'm sorry that your are having this problem. No one needs that...was your spouse not 'on board' when you ordered it.

PS...where are you located?

At my dealer this morning picking up my cargo mat (floor mats still AWOL) and they had a customer their looking for a white C7. He and his wife were drooling of mine so I told the sales manager sell it for $80K and I'll split the profits. Needless to say I haven't heard from them.

BTW my MSRP was $59K.

At this point in my life, this car and the enjoyment it gives me are worth much more to me than any amount of money over what I paid that most anyone could afford to give me.
