Sell-or-hold analysis
The 2023 C8 Stingray has settled into a more predictable residual rhythm after the early-C8 over-MSRP frenzy fully unwound through 2024-2025. The 60-day band below shows whether that stability is holding or whether the new Z06 / ZR1 generation is starting to compress Stingray values.
C8 Stingrays at sub-15,000-mile milage trade in a tight band — typically within $5,000 across regions for like-equipped cars. Above 30,000 miles the dispersion widens. The Z51 package adds roughly $3,000-$5,000 in residual versus base Stingrays.

Z06 and ZR1 sit at different price tiers and pull from different buyer pools. Their main residual impact on Stingrays has been to validate the C8 platform's collectibility, which has been a net positive for Stingray residual stability.
Coupes have held roughly 3-5% better residual than convertibles over the trailing 12 months. Convertibles have a thinner buyer pool that's more weather-region-dependent.
If you're looking for the value-retention sweet spot, 30,000-mile cars under $60,000 in the South or Mountain West have been the strongest combination over the past two quarters. Avoid heavily modified examples — they trade at a 10-15% discount even when the mods are quality.
The next step is a 30–60 day market-risk review of five vehicles, read alongside the valuation tools you already use.
