Default Sold my C8 - should I include welcome gift

Selling my 2020 C-8 tomorrow to a private buyer (getting a new Z06) & was wondering if it is expected to include the C8 welcome gift/cast car to the new owner? My wife says keep it, looking for thoughts or what others have kept or included in the sale?

If it were you buying would you want it? I would. There is obviously no obligation but it sure would be a nice gesture to a fellow corvette enthusiasts.

You don’t need the clutter.

when we sold our 69 z28 race/show car, we included all the trophies and most of the magazines it was in.

we didn’t need the clutter.

Let it go with the car. Especially, since you're getting a ZO6.....

If it didn't have the VIN, I would say keep it.

I received my cast model a month ago. Honestly, it’s not a big deal to me. When I sell my 24 stingray, the model goes with it.

Default Absolutely include it!!!

When I recently bought my 2021 the guy gave it to me and it made me so happy...when I sell mine in a few years for a z06 I will absolutely give it to the next buyer.

Such a cool thing to do and a great way to pass the good vibes from the car on..

Keep it. You paid full freight, the next owner did not.

I always give buyers everything (window stickers, build sheets, maintenance records speed models, dealer brochures, etc) associated with the car as I feel it's the right thing to do and they always appreciate it.
What would you want with the speed model for a C8 you no longer own? Besides you will be getting another with your Z06.

I would do the same. I see them for sale for $400 and wonder who is buying them.

If I’m trading it in at a dealership, then probably no. If I’m selling it to a private buyer, then I would probably include it.

Listing for Speed models on eBay are that and only that. A listed price, but no offers. So no buyers. 30K a year for the last 5 years, they aren't rare. Ours goes with the car. If I can find it.

I would pass it along with the car. It doesn’t mean anything to me if I don’t have the car.

What would you want with the speed model for a C8 you no longer own? Besides you will be getting another with your Z06.
When we bought a 1992 Ford Taurus station wagon, the dealer sent us a small tree which is now a large tree. If we still had the car and were selling it, I would not include the agriculture...

I don't even know where mine is exactly.... don't care. I would look for it and give it to the buyer if it were me. They are the stupidest looking thing related to a C8 IMO.

Good call on letting the welcome gift go to the next Corvette owner.
