This ^ If you don't need back seats, and you can daily a Corvette, then get the Corvette. |

If its a tie between Gen6 and C7 then go with C7.

I do agree buying slightly used is the way to go however as that's what I did with my current camaro ss.

also something to think about. A used Corvette probably sees a less hard life than a used camaro. i base this entirely on my own stereotype of a corvette owner, who is old and has the car for looks rather than taking advantage of the performance.
Then again, a 2ss new is probably beyond the financial ability of almost all young people too, so might luck out there too unless you're considering an ex-rental. |

this whole thread is about making a "bad financial decision". resale value is not extremely important. its just nice to have. I am daily driving a 2010 corvette right now. I don't think that thing is holding up its value! just want to sell it before it starts to show its age. |

but I currently daily drive a 2010 corvette, and I drive it just as hard as my previous 2010 camaro. I think it all depends on the previous owners. the corvette has been MUCH more reliable though. my old camaro had the transmission rebuilt 3 times maybe. |

You can get a 2SS for mid to upper 30s. That's the car for me just waiting for it. If Miami wasn't so damn far away I'd get that gray one this weekend.

What's the hurry for "bad financial decision "
It's a new job, sleep on all the ideas for couple of months before pulling any trigger? |

Got my 2SS out of a high-volume dealer in Kentucky for 37k as well. Had to expand my search on cars.com to a 250 mile range. Then their inventory popped up. I was looking at a used '16 with 1400 miles for 1k less and another used 16 for 35k with 14k miles on it. Said hell with it and drove 3 hours and bought the '17 with 10 miles on it.

I own both cars, and they're both fun and well made cars! Its going to be more about function, so I think only you can decide! The c7 is a razor blade on the road, sharp, precise and fast. The ss is 7/10ths of all that the C7 is (and the same or better in some areas like interior, DIC..), with added practicality.
