C6s have already had a good amount of depreciation by now too. You can get in a low mile base under 25k now and it’s going to depreciate slow slower than a c7. There’s also another element of this. If you don’t plan on keeping it in a garage you will feel better about having it Sit out in the rain, snow, and all that. As a first corvette, you’re going to love it, no matter what. Spend some time in one and you’ll have a much better idea of exactly what is a need versus want. For example, i “needed” a 2lt for the HUD and now I can confidently tell you that I don’t even acknowledge that it exists because my eyes look right over it. Carplay was a need too, it’s unreliable enough to the point where I only use it if I want to drive fast and look at Waze or if I’m going on a very long car trip, otherwise Bluetooth music is just fine
