Default Won't Sell

I know cars are depreciating assets and now is the time to sell your C7. Mine is impeccable, a 2015 Z51 Manual 2LT with 7,800 miles on it.

Even though there are other toys I want to buy I just can't pull the trigger on selling.

I get too much joy out of the car whenever I drive it. If I ever do consider selling I jump in and drive it for 30 minutes and say, nope, not gonna sell it.

Does anyone else feel this way? I'm all about capitalizing on opportunities but I'm not gonna cash out on this one.

I agree that it is tempting, but I enjoy my GS too much to let it go. I would only sell if I knew I was getting a C8 soon. I'm watching for the new Z06s, but doubt I will take that plunge. I may let my C3 go, but every time I think it's time, I look at all the time, money, sweat and BLOOD that I put into it, then decide to keep it.

I don't even think the performance of the C8 outweighs the C7 GS enough to justify buying it.

I'd have no problem selling it if it came to it, but nothing out there interests me over it currently. I plan on adding a porsche for something else to drive that offers difference experience, but I'm just going to add, not replace the C7

I gave it a lot of thought consideration before deciding on buying a new C7 starting in 2014. For tge first few months. I was negative toward buying another new Corvette. But by May 2015. I was bought in to purchasing one. Now came the how I wanted it equipped. M7 was a must, convertible became a must, base non Z51 became a must, FE2 and black 19"/20" wheels became a must, MSRC became a must, buying @ a discount, a must. The must have C7 is in my garage less -20% MSRP since November 2017. I must not sell that which I love.🙂
