What Chevrolet Corvette do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Corvette years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. When more listings are on the market, you usually have more room to compare condition, mileage, and equipment before you buy.

What is the Chevrolet Corvette's resale value?

Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. A few years are holding close to flat or ticking upward, so pricing is not moving in one straight direction across the lineup. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer model years, which can create stronger opportunities if you want a recent Corvette at a lower price than before.

The 2014, 2016, and 2019 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2017, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

The 2LT trim adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and GM’s rear camera mirror.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used Chevrolet Corvette now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model pairs a 6.2-liter V8 with 490 horsepower, 465 pound-feet of torque, and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
• Tech: It adds wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a fully digital instrument panel with drive-mode themes.
• Safety: The latest model adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and GM’s rear camera mirror.
