Predicted Resale Value After 5 Years of Ownership: 49.5%
America’s supercar, the first mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette, has outstanding resale value. Get this: After 60 months of ownership, the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette is expected to retain 49.5 percent of its value, which means this 2-seater has once again claimed the title of top Sports Car in KBB’s annual Best Resale Value Awards.
What’s behind this success? Well, the C8 Corvette is a great-looking car with a fantastic lineage dating back to 1953. What’s more, with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) still less than $60,000, the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the best values in today’s market. With its 490-horsepower pushrod V8 engine, it offers true supercar performance at a price that’s less than half of what you might pay for a Porsche 911.
From our Expert Review: “Placing the engine in the middle puts more weight over the rear wheels, enhancing grip, traction, and overall balance. This new Corvette definitely feels more neutral than its predecessor when thrown into turns. Yet it still manages to be completely bearable and actually quite comfortable for daily commutes.
“Then there’s the striking design. As either a coupe with a removable roof panel or a convertible, the 2021 Corvette could easily be mistaken for an Italian exotic. But now the Corvette can run wheel-to-wheel with exactly that kind of machine.”
For 2021, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been made standard. Also available: adaptive MagneRide shock absorbers and racing stripes.
