I never remember seeing a top quality forum vendor selling C7’s for $10,000 over sticker.

Agreed. Do not dip into your 401k. You'd be going down a financial rabbit hole of wreckening. Would set you back years!

Traded in my 2018 Signal Green Audi RS3. I had plans to keep it for a long time but when the C8 was unveiled, it was a game changer.

C7 values continuing to go down, based on what's being posted here in the forum. Some folks saying they're selling to get a C8, which is telling. The C8 is going to be a heck of a success for GM, not just via buyers who are existing Vette owners but from crossover sports car owners too.

Those who are stubbornly not moving on their C7 price are likely going to have a rude awakening in the coming months.

Not bad idea at all, I made all my money in the stock market, I can buy anything cash except a private jet and I can move any where in the USA buy a house cash or where ever in the world and live very comfortable. Retired IT system computer and network security engineer from Silicon valley. All my vehicles are paid off Harleys, Indian scout, Hayabusa, Tundra 4x4, RX7, man toys, drones, surfing gear what ever. Trust me I can buy almost anything.

You just worry about your own payment plan for your C8,

the 401K and the SUP foil surfboard and Honda grom was a joke for the people on here that judge other people.

I grew up poor in Hawaii and moved up here in Calif after I got out of the Navy 6 yrs active and worked in silicon valley and made my $$$ and is part of the 3M club

Like we say in Hawaii

Either my first child or wife. Haven’t decided yet. Depending on sticker price they both may have to go!

Nothing. The current C8 isn't worth my R. I'll wait for the Z06 and re-assess.

Not trading or selling anything. Too many emotional attachments.
