  • Here is Why C7 Inventories are Diminishing Even Though C8 Is Coming Next Month

    It wasn’t long ago that I read the C7 Corvette sales were struggling due to incoming C8. Just 2 months ago GMauthority.com reported that there were 9,000 unsold Chevrolet Corvettes crowding dealer lots and then as of 3 days ago they are now reporting that number has dropped by over 2,000 cars. The C7 is a hot Corvette and even with the C8 on the horizon people are still inclined to buy one.

    Torque News reports: The C7 Corvette Inventory Is Diminishing Regardless of Upcoming C8 Reveal

    There is a lot of unknowns with the C8 Corvette, many of which won’t be answered until the July 18th reveal, and that is one of the biggest reasons the C7 Corvette is still very appetizing to some.

    The 7th generation Corvette stands to possibly be the last of the front engine Corvette and because of this could also act as a collectible to some. There are more than a few proud Corvette owners out there that still don’t want to see the mid-engine layout of the C8 as a “pure” Corvette and because of this, will continue along with their C7 Corvettes or even possibly jump up a model or 2 in order to maintain the “best” possible 7th generation Corvette experience.

    Thanks midenginenc. The C7 is a kick *** sports car. It was in 2013 when revealed. It is right now.

      Recently test drove a c7 Z06 and hot dam it was quick...

      yes the c7 is a supercar!

      3 and a half months of inventory at current rate sound about right?

        Thank You Midengine. I have been saying this for months. As excited as we are about the C8 those of us that have a C7 are probably struggling with getting rid of our C7s to get a C8, I know I am. I am seriously considering keeping my C7 in the garage next to my C8, well at least for a while. I do feel that the interest in the C7 will revive once the dealers no longer have them and 2019s with low milage will creep up from current market lows that the announcement of the C8 has created. The old die hards will be looking for a FE car at a substantial savings to new C8s pricing due to having to pay sticker and them some at smaller dealerships.

          Great idea to keep a C7 and get a C8 — for those who can.

            In MHO it is the C7 Z06 that is far and away is the top Corvette ever produced then it supported by the greatest aftermarket. The C8 will have a ways to catch up in performance and then not till the C8 Z06
            then likely will never have as strong of aftermarket

              I bought a '19 Z06 2 months ago, and all I can say is that it is "stupid stupid stupid" fast. Did I mention that it's fast? Because it's FAST

              The traction control light flashed at me in 5th gear today (M7), not that I was pushing it at all or anyting lol

                  Yep I had a 2014 C7 had it Supercharged. Then went to the 2015 Z06. The Z06's are a superior car over the C7. Then the I have a 2017 Z06 and then I bought the last 2018
                  or early 2019 as it has the 2019 updates. The 2017 Z06 is improved over the 2015-2016 Then the 2019 C7 Z06 is the finest Corvette ever made. I would buy a C8 but I have been that path with the C6 and C7. Should have waited neither purchase was owned very long been better to wait for the upper model Z06. The Base C8 will not be as fast or out pace the 2017- 2019 C7 Z06's. I'll wait with no set plan on a purchase.

                  I very much like the C7 Z06 set up with the 2300 Heartbeat less heat than the GM blowers. Rather Click image for larger version

                      Since my newest Z06 has just 1500 miles and 29 payments 0 interest payments left. I'm good for another 2 to 3 years.
                      Plus I'm in the home business now and everything is working towards getting the first one finished, It takes all your time.
                      Love to drive and see the C8 perform!

                        I would have never bought a C7 this past March and would have held out for a C8, but my wife absolutely loves the car. Needless to say, I'm not a fan and rarely if ever drive it.

                          There are, and are going to be, plenty of Corvette owners that don't like, or want nothing to do with, a Corvette that isn't front-engined with a long hood and short deck. I'm sure a fair number of them are purchasing the last "real" Corvette.
