The one thing that will have an affect more than anything I believe is production numbers. They are going to attempt to basically double yearly production. That's going to drop the c7 a lot more than expected in a couple years. It will also affect the c8 holding its value. 120,000 c8's in enthusiasts hands in the next three years. even with a base price of 60k I really don't see GM being able to push those numbers without some steep discounts at some point down the road. Discounts on current models plus 1 and 2 year old models for sale on every street corner will ultimately hurt corvettes value in general. Should also be interesting to see how things pan out in a few years if/when the economy isn't doing as well.

I like the C8 but not to sure on the rear, like most others said we need to see it in person. With it being a huge departure from the FE I think all previous generations will see some bump value based on Generation and equipment. You can’t compare the two cars, they are completely different thus value impact will be limited to those that want a C8 now, the dealers will know this and low ball their trades. Simple supply and demand. I don’t see a manual option coming out, most other ME manufactures don’t offer manuals. From a simplicity and cost perspective I see why. So prior generations that sport a manual will most likely fetch a bit more from those seeking them out.

The C7’s amazing performance, handing and styling aren’t the least bit diminished just because there is a dazzling new Corvette coming out. If you like the C7, now’s the time to buy. There are probably a lot of 2019s out there for less than people paid for the equivalent 2014 new.

C7 is the new C4!

The C7 becomes worth significantly less than the 2006MY (and before) C6 or C6Z. Those are the cars that won't have "tattle tale tech" built into every single one of 'em. Sorry, ALL the C7's have "TTT."

This feels just like the ZR1 guys telling the Z06 guys they don't like it because they can't afford it.

I would have loved a C7 Z06 if I could fit in it, but I am happy I bought my 2010 ZR1 now. like to row gears. But I still plan to get a C8 at some point if the wife would go for it. I'd keep both. Something tells me that she won't allow two Vettes in the garage, however. We shall see. I suspect she'd want me to sell the ZR1 first.

I drive a '16 Z06, pretty obvious from my avatar pic. never said I have a Lambo, you inferred that, I just don't care for ferraris. now, with the C8, I can have a ME without dealing with the exotic car world...

this happens with every new Gen. everyone acts like the old one is trash, yet the capabilities of that car did not change. the values might dip, but they don't "torpedo" and the cars hold their value pretty well for a Chevy.

I'll have a C8 for sure.

Agree, those dealers see you coming.

This is the kind of douchebaggery that makes the C8 section such a joke.

These cars are like art. They are analogous to ugly Picasso’s.

That's probably very accurate. Some are going to wait until there is a manual or vert before making the switch. It will also depend on availability of the C8. If orders take 6+ months then they will hang onto the C7 for the time being. Probably wont see too many C7s start flooding the market until late next year. These cars hold value and no reason to get rid of one too early in the game.
