Thanks. I'll have it in late April and the comparison to my C6 should be interesting. The 2013 change was a huge upgrade to the car, so this will be fun.

:cheers:

I think the C6 Z06 will be somewhat of an oddity after the release of the C7. With its notorious valve issues GM might offer the C7 ZR1 as the only "King of the Hill," and drop the middle brand to increase sales for the base C7. :cheers:

:iagree:

I'm looking for a 2008 or 2009 coupe and so far in my area they are still asking average of mid 30's! Hopefully once the C7 hits more C6's will be priced in the 20's.....that's when I plan to buy.
C7 is just going to be out of my price range but I'd love to own one in 3 years.

what notorious valve issues..how many have blown?

on topic: C6 prices will drop and the C7 is going to be a Beast of a Vette...Can hardly wait until the high performance version hits the street

^^it will be, there hasn't been a downgrade in corvette quality, hp, style and features since the C2-3 transition (save for '68-'71 engines). They just keep getting better.

Lots of threads and mad owners in Z06 section:

On Topic:

With known head issues and a new gen corvette out, prices for a C6 Z06 could drop.

I don't know if Chev. is using the same set up that Dodge is using for it's V8 Challenger R/T and SRT with the MDS but I am on the sidelines on that feature as they are having problems with blowing off their timing chains on the V8 engines that come with the automatic trans that come with the Multiple Displacement System or DOD displacement on demand.
This Corvette will have a V-8 engine that will run on 4 cyclinders then 8 when needed. If this is so our cars will be worth more.:thumbs::

:iagree:
I think there will be only one high hp car--whatever its name

NOT going to happen.
Corvette production is WAY DOWN and will stay that way. Fewer cars on the market--the higher used car prices stay.

GM learned it's lessen--they are not headed back to massive 30-40k unit production runs and huge rebate give backs. The price of the C7 is going up--GM used the Grand Sport to raise price expections. In 06 you could buy a Z06 for $65k..now a loaded Grand Sport goes for that (MSRP).

The new C7 will start at about 57k, figure 59-60k if they bring back the Z51 option, 2 lt type option (HUD) etc (and at that I may very well be 'low' in my price expectations-I'm certainly not high). The Camaro is SS form runs about $40k, the LZ1 runs in the low $50's...GM wants the Vette into the $60-70k range and they will keep production low to get that.

Yes some "gotta have its" will dump C6's but that number will be few...I wish all of you luck in the "huge price drop" but sorry-it just isn't going to happen.

As of December 4th, GM had a quarter million full size trucks on dealer lots.

They didn't learn much.

:iagree:All generations have their turn in the downslide and then they eventually start to increase. For example: C1's are out of sight, C2's can be had - but they're getting up there, chrome bumper C3's are going up and big block rubber bumper C3's while affordable - will start to rise. C4, C5 and C6's will eventually see appreciation - if taken care of.

The price of any mint C6Z.

:ack: Your 13 will be cheaper no matter what, now vs October

13s are going to look like a bargain compared to the 14. I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer jacks up the actual sales price of the C6 since the C7 will cost 10% more to start just in MSRP alone.

I was going to get a C5 for my beater til I saw some of the prices. Based on that, I'm convinced the C6 will hold its value very well throughout the next C7 generation of cars.

i think our values may remain steady for awhile...when you look at the c7..many are gonna go for $70k out the door...
i think mine at even $38k would appear to be a bargain for a younger guy on a budget.

i'll throw the stripes in for free...:):)

Any new car is going to go down in price. Even your Corvette ZR-1.
Its the 68-72 and 63-67 Corvettes that will hold their values.

All C6's just dropped in value.

New cars have got to be too expensive unless you want a smart car or Fiat 500 or any of those tiny golf cart cars. Many people are getting priced out of new car market.:lurk:

C7 affect on C6 prices?
 

Now that the C7 has been shown, what mightl happen to used C6 prices? I guess that common "run of the mill" Corvette guys like me, will have a long wait before we can afford a used C7. Darn it!:cheers:
