Chevrolet Corvette Depreciation & Resale Value

Chevrolet Corvette keeps an estimated 83% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #8 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Chevrolet Corvette retains an estimated 83% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #8 of 530 cars we track. That is 20 points above the 63% five-year average for Sports in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Chevrolet Corvette sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $70,000 it falls to around $57,960 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,040, about $6.60 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Chevrolet Corvette bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
