I think everything has depreciated because everything was over appreciated. A used car should not cost more or the same as a new car. I think the C8 is coming back in line with that. It’s a corvette after all and not some special limited edition collector car.
I owned a C7 and I liked it. I would consider owning a C8 if it came with a manual. My friend has one and I drove it through some winding roads and honestly I have no complaints other than it’s automatic. Certain angles it looks weird and certain angles it looks good... I think the C7 looks better. I found the interior to be very nice, nicer than the C7. |

Yes, a base Stingray LT1 trim.

Honestly the current car market really makes me not want to buy anything. At least for me… all my cars have dropped in trade in value by a LOT meanwhile the used car prices are still high IMO (although they have come down some VERY slowly). |

Whatever happened to the 60k C8 we were promised?

I had a 21 C8 and got rid of it before the values started to normalize just for this reason. It was fun while it lasted to own a car worth more or the same that I paid for for sure, but I love my M240 .

Nothing new in the market interests me. The car has a camera watching me watching it drive the road I'm on. Seriously, how stupid is that? |

Just less and less free time these days, and I'd rather put the effort into a few cars than having to maintain a fleet of ageing BMWs.

A Corvette doesn’t need to be the fastest or best handling car. It needs to be an experience. Something you have an emotional connection to. Every manufacturer is about lap times and numbers these days. Boo.
I’ll take one of these thanks. What a piece of art. |

I agree and it's why I have my AM Vantage, I decided on it based on the engine characteristics and how it looks. If I line up for a race I will possibly lose by a fraction of a second. 1st - never happens, 2nd - I don't care.
