I bought my 2016 C7 Z07 in 2018 with 6,450 miles for $68,500. The car stickered for over $112,000 & was still in warranty till 2020. Same story with my 2016 BMW 750 X drive, stickered for over $108,000 and I bought it for $42,000 with less than 20,000 miles. Not that I can't afford it just seems less than bright to pay the get in price.
I'll either be a very rich man or find a car that I'm very confident will never significantly depreciate before I buy a car brand new (M2CS I'm looking at you, just don't have the extra coin at this time). The deals you can get on a car even a few months old with 3-7k on it means that it makes no sense to me to go pay MSRP (or slightly under--or even over if you're in the market for a C8 today).
