I don't have a newer Vette, just a C2. It's supposedly worth what I paid for it 7 years ago.

Plus or minus $10k that is...

It is a 15 year old car with a major redesign in the last year. It's to be expected IMO.

As soon as they gave a date for the Chevy SS I unloaded my G8. I probably would have unloaded my Mustang by now too but i'm waiting to see what happens with my job search as most companies give car allowances or company cars for my role.

It's only lost value if you sell it.

Don't feel bad, I have a C4. If I sold it I'd get back what I put into it. In gasoline.

Depreciation. I get bored with cars quickly too. That's why i always look for a deal too even if it requires travel. I bought my mustang in Houston and drove it back. 3 years is my max with any given car (beaters/dd's excluded)

For example I sold the G8 for within $500 of what I paid for it, and put 20k miles on it. Once the new SS came out G8 values took a hit. That's why I sold when I did. To minimize my exposure.

Notwithstanding the fact that it's dead that the moment. :lol:

My C4 had kind of flat lined on value at 20 years old, not sure what it would have brought in a few more years, but I'm happy with what it brought

When I sold my 1996 C4 coupe, I got only $6k for it, but it had 106,000 miles on the clock. I paid $12k for it 5 years earlier, but it was a fun car to drive until I sold it.

Hell the engine in my C5 cost more than the entire car is currently worth.

Don't care, it is retarded fast and fun to drive.
