Default Dealer asking OVER original 2017 MSRP for GSCE

Yikes, this is crazy. I know prices are up on C7's and this is a very well optioned GSCE that is essentially brand new with 179 miles on it. Dealer is asking 2% OVER original 2017 MSRP. I'd love to know what this actually sells for, if it does....

Looks like it might already be gone? The page is blank and the price is listed at $99,991.

There were only a few GSCE's that MSRP'd over 100k. This one was right on the cusp.

Well, values are up . . . .

Of course, it's a free market; don't like the price, don't buy. I doubt that they will stay so high forever.

How's that saying go...something is only worth what someone is willing to pay?

I guess someone out there will think a 1 in 151 collectors edition makes the car more valuable. Only time will tell if it is. When the GR Supra came out, some people were paying +$10k over MSRP. We all know what some people are paying for C8s right now. Maybe selling 3 or 4 year old cars over the original MSRP will be what happens there too, but I know I wouldn't place my money on that bet.

Yikes is right! I paid $72,620 for a brand spanking new 2019 2LZ Z06 on 1-2-2020. Great time to sell if you have to, or want to.

Last week a Porsche 2020 911 "Lemon Law" sold for over original MSRP. at Manheim Auction. There is some kind of rare fever out there.

People are asking over MSRP on 6 yr old C7s , it’s crazy . I was looking at selling the C5 and moving to C7 but I’m not paying over MSRP or even close to it on a used car .

Crazy that most domestic and foreign car dealerships are basically vacant around here. They don't even have that many new cars to sell, let along used ones.

You answered your question/s, by stating that it has"179 miles" on it's clock. That alone, is very valuable to some buyers. 👍🥂

I wasn't asking a question :-). Just posted the info. I track all the GSCEs and have seen the resale prices going up. Was quite surprised to see the asking price on this one. And of course it is just an asking price. Hopefully the new buyer, whenever that happens, checks in with me to register their car and I can find out what it sells for.

I'd be surprised if he didn't get asking price. That's a very valuable C7.❤ And priced accordingly.

Prices are definitely up, but asking over MSRP on a 2017, even with 179 miles,seems rather unusual.

True enough........but many ppl are at or near retirement age, two income households, and one chooses to collect the unemployment $$$. I have a close family couple that chose that route. Millionaires, but collecting massive amounts of unemployment. They're out there. A new Corvette won't put a dent in their $$$...
