Nobody said the resale value was less. I said they depreciate more than base model. You pay a lot more for a Z51, than the difference when you sell it.
And Even MORE on a Z06, which depreciates $25k in its first year!
Generally you will never recoup your costs for add-on options. They will make it easier to sell your car, but you won't get much more $$ for it b/c of them.
Buy what you want, not what you think some future buyer might want
Hi all
I'm ready to buy my first C7 and would like opinions on getting the
Z51 pkg. Does it make the car more appealing down the road when its
time to trade. Any opinions are appreciated
thanks
Ike
No. Not to me it wouldn't be necessarily more appealing.
FWIW, if I were into real performance, the ZO6 is definitely the way to go. Now that, would be more appealing to buyers.
NO
NO
Unless you find somebody who is going to track the car, your Z51 package will not help you sell your car; nor, will you re-coupe your money for it.
I drove the Base and the Z51....both nice. Then I drove the Z06.
This is not a dress rehearsal...it's only money!
Love the look of the car and the performance. I could care less about depreciation....just drive it like you stole it.
is there a way to tell a stingray is a z51 from just looking at it.. what are telltale signs?
Z51 front air dam (underneath) is just a 12" (approx.) section on each side; all of the space between them is empty. Non-Z51 front air dam spans the entire width.
what? If you look at Black Book, there's a 1.5k add for cars with Z51, all things being equal, a car with Z51 is more desirable and worth more than a car without.
Thanks for all the input. I am looking at a shark gray Z51, LT2, 7M

Anyone in this position, if so I want talk to you..
Did you buy a new 2017 1LT Base Corvette in October/November of 2018 for 25% off ($43,000)?
And kept it in super condition.
P.M. me, I'm looking to pay $35-38,000 for one.
Or, I'll roll the dice and wait for a stripped 2019 in 6-8 weeks.
Worst that can heppen is I will be forced to get a Base 2020 for $61,200.
