When it comes to the Corvette, history has often proved two things: 1.) When a new-generation is announced and later, made available to consumers, an influx of used Corvettes from the earlier generations become available in the used car market. 2.) Those used Corvettes regularly depreciate rapidly in value, affording second-hand consumers the opportunity to purchase an older Corvette well below its former market value. This combination 1-2 punch of market saturation driving rapid depreciation has caused many naysayers to argue that Corvettes simply do not hold their value, and/or, they were never worth the premium, new car prices charged by Chevrolet in the first place.
