What Chevrolet Corvette do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, trim, and price. They also sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability overlap.

What is the Chevrolet Corvette's resale value?

Most model years in the table are moving down year over year, which creates better opportunities for used buyers shopping recent Corvettes. A smaller group of older years is holding steady or ticking upward, so pricing is not moving in one direction across the whole lineup.

The 2016 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2019, 2015, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.
