Corvette World WEIGHS in on "FALLING" C8 Values. Plus New C7's & C8's!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Ladies and gentlemen, today Corvette World weighs in on "Falling" C8 Values, and Robert and I show you their newest C7 & C8 inventory. PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL WITH BOS MERCH: daggercustomapparel.com/brink_of_speed_gear/shop/home

[@mjareacts2731]

Brink of Speed although I can afford to purchase a C8 at one of those ridiculous prices, I don't want to contribute to what's causing these markups in the first place. If everyone stopped buying these vehicles with crazy markups, dealerships new and used would have to change their practices in order to make money. As much as I would love to own a new C8, I just can't justify giving away extra money for the privilege of owning something that I'm already paying for in the first place.

[@kerrylittle3900]

And as far as the Z06 goes, I can't see a 12:5 to 1 compression engine running properly on 91or 93 octane gas. Gas for Z06 will be $15 - $20 a gallon if you can even get it. YIKES!!

I've been in the market for a 458, but seriously considering a new C8 Zo6, because let's be honest, it's essentially a 10 year old naturally aspirated ferrari with much better interior tech for a fraction of the price, if you can get it at MSRP...the issues I have are dealer mark up, but more importantly the fact that this is a car that many people can finance/purchase and resale to make a few bucks, which brings human behavior into the equation, ultimately bringing the purchase price to the point where I'd rather buy the older exotic. I only buy historically depreciating assets such as cars with cash, and have never bought a third "toy" car, but I'd be damned if I'm going to do it during artificial mark up (due to optimism of future pricing) in addition to high inflation...I think I'll wait, as I know the difference between a want and a need. It does meet my "wants" in a car, so I do hope it follows normal depreciation curves and I can custom order mine in time

[@steinb6271]

Don't forget about maintenance costs, reliability, and insurance. C8 insurance is laughably cheap (mine's cheaper than my Camry). Everyone (including me) would love a Ferrari, but getting a brand new car under warranty with butt warmers, XM, and all the other goodies at the price of a 10yr old stallion is pretty much unbeatable. You can find them at MSRP, but it takes some work and some wait.

[@kalvin9861]

More like a better faster reborn version of the 458 to be honest not a 10 year old Ferrari in my opinion. The Ferrari your comparing it to is 100 hp less with 10 year old tech vs 100 more hp with new tech so that’s gonna be way better not like a 10 year old Ferrari.

[@jaquevius]

@@kalvin9861 Yes, I agree. They improved on the now 10 year old version, and made it affordable, which is why I'm heavily considering purchasing a Z06. Yes, Ferrari moved on a decade ago from this technology, and is at the cutting edge for consumers, just a few years behind F1, but this car has all of the elements of the beloved 458 (plus the fact that it's new and not 10 years old), and can be purchased for 1/4 the price of a loaded F8 with (IMO) better interior equipment. That's why I think this is a great car, but also I'm an older American so I may be biased. I've priced a new loaded F8 with the same tech as a fully loaded Z06 z07 with all the goodies, and we're talking 450-500K+ vs ~150? for the carbon ceramic brakes/wheels etc? Considering many of my friends want the nostalgia of the NA 458, wtf wouldn't I buy a much cheaper and newer z06 with a warranty? I don't care about status and exclusivity, but I do care about the sounds and feel....so the z06 with the z07 fully loaded convertible has my attention in a big way....when prices correct in a few years of course

[@kalvin9861]

@@jaquevius Ferrari also improved on now 10 plus year old versions of a V engines but they make them un affordable for most people. So your point is?? Ferrari only produces a v12 flat plan engine all others are straight or v engines. So then your saying Ferrari is also using old versions of a v engine and just improving on them. Same concept your using for the C8. Now it just got flipped back on your precious Ferraris lol NEXT!!

[@jaquevius]

@@kalvin9861 I think you misinterpreted me. I was actually making a case for the new Z06 over Ferrari. Fully loaded ~150K vs 400K+ for a car that is honestly too fast for the road, with F1 technology, and doesn't have the sound/soul it had since the ~10 year old version in the 458. I personally feel they muted the sound too much in efforts to gain irrational speed (unless you're a professional driver in a competition). The new Z06 has all the elements of the beloved 458 is my point. The NA sound most importantly, as well as the fact that it is usable for skilled normal humans.

Lets face it production has been finally caught up with demand. Like the real Estate market people paying thousands of dollars over asking or appraisal price. My sister recently purchased a home and the asking price was $ 600,000. House went on the market and on the first day they had 6 offers for over asking price. She ended up paying $10,000 more but she got it. She wanted it and paid the price & then some. Same goes for the C8's. It used to be used C8's were $100,00 - $110,000 used from Carmax. I for one wouldn't pay $ 10,000 - $20,00 over MSRP, especially for a used one, but then again some will & do.

People don't understand that any dealership buys cars new or used at wholesale price period. Like he stated if someone paid way over list you can't sell it to dealership at retail price.

Has the novelty worn off on the C8, They are cool, but I'm buying a C7 when my riding days are over.

Am I the only one that drive the shit out of there C8? 2021 2LT red mist with 11k miles in 8 months... :)

@@ParissaKhoury I would argue 15% daily drive them based on what I've seen in the last 5 years.

Can’t wait to watch these in 2035. If VeChain hits $10. I’m buying and giving away the C9 z06! I guarantee if you reach for your goals, you’ll achieve them!

Any pricing news on the 2022 5.5 liter equipped C8?

[@Gargamoth]

I heard the 2023 will be a different model. Maybe a refresh on the front end idk.

[@thecarpergarage916]

I have mix feelings! I’m familiar with both Corvette Worlds in Houston and Dallas. I know Russell, Matt, and have met Robert before. I purchased my C7 ZO6 and 427 Convertible from them. I also sold my C5 ZO6, 2015 Mustang GT, and 427 Convertible to them as well. I use to go to the Houston location all the time and have been by the Dallas location as well, probably since buying my C5 ZO6 back in 2003. I also purchased a bunch of accessories from them as well. I don’t think I would buy anything from them now for a couple of reasons. 1) No test drives on C8 even for an established customer, 2) They low ball the hell out of my C7 ZO6 ZO7 Seven Speed with 4300 miles on it at 70K, when they are selling them with more miles at 79K-83K, and lastly I tried to buy my C5 ZO6 back after two weeks of regret for 3K over what they paid me, 3K wasn’t enough profit and they sold it to someone else. I had the car for 15 years. So that’s a past for me on a purchasing a C8 from them. Nothing personal to the sales team, but right is right!

[@jml9550]

Well he did force you to sell or buy right? If I sold my house at $1.5M and a month later someone is willing to buy that same house for $1.8M. The new owner has every right to sell it at market value. He took the risk to buy the car or house. any gain or loss is on him.

[@thecarpergarage916]

@@jml9550 no they didn’t force me to sell my car to them. However, having a relationship as a repeat customer definitely is a lot different than some stranger buying a house that went up in a value one month as you put it. I’m not burning with money, but a $3000 profit in two weeks with no overhead and retaining a repeat customer is more important to me than making $4000 from a new customer. I’m still in business long term and making money or as CW did (make a quick 4000 or whatever amount) and lose a customer forever. If that doesn’t work, try number 1 and 2 reasons.

[@jml9550]

@@thecarpergarage916 well I hear and feel you. But the matter of fact is if they are willing to lose you as a long time customer for chump change means your biz means nothing based on your story. Maybe he already took the deposit from the new customer and by contract he cannot void it without paying penalty?. I am in my late 40s and life happens. I live and learn on decisions I made and have to face the consequences. Sometimes things go my way, so be it.

Trying to sell a 2020. A USED 2020 with 5k miles on it for "under 100k" as if that's a deal. Get fucked. Everyone is still gouging the shit out of cars and C8's are really bad with scalpers and 'dealers' (Aka scalpers). Get fucked I'm not getting rid of my C7 to buy a c8 30k over sticker for a USED car.

[@motorhead281]

Why would anyone need to sell a C8 to these guys at a bargain, when you could put a "for sale" sign in the window and sell for the same price they'd turn around and sell it for pretty easily?

[@blazenamber9176]

It's nice we don't have to deal with Dealer Mark ups in Canada, shouldn't be allowed period!

[@theponycargarage1453]

As long as there people willing to pay those high prices, dealers will be happy to sell them at max price. Those are not “good prices”. They just better than others.

[@MarinoMotorsports]

The owner should bless this guy with a company Corvette! It only makes sense!
