been thinking

I’ve been thinking of analogies to soften the blow of the depreciation of a vehicle. So, you meet someone. You think they’re worth more than a million bucks. Then, you find their upkeep and maintenance begins wearing your wallet. Soon, your wallet has holes and it’s close to empty, so you make the decision to unload. There you go. It hurts but you’ll find another. Time for a trade

Are you thinking of opening a used-men dealership?
Men and women. I’d like to cover the market
A professional matchmaker so.

There's a big matchmaking festival here in September. Maybe you could set up a stall there.
Honestly, financially, a new car is one of the worst investments one can make.
I can't think of anything else that depreciates, so much, so quickly.
It's a topic best deflected from.
I guess the sell, is to older folks who don't want to do repairs and/or have a surplus of money to burn.
Otherwise, they would buy a used vehicle.
With Corvettes, any of the anniversary editions have the potential to retain somewhat more of the value.
Thus, point out that to them.
The sale is not getting over depreciation. The more you discuss it, the more you will lose that battle.
New cars are a symbol of freedom, independence, status, and luxury.
Those and new features are your sale points. "Imagine the thrill of ..." "You only live once, why settle..." Or as a friend once told me...."Tell me, when will you finally own a Corvette ?"
Jim, I have lost far more money on people. I will get a vette when I can pay for the care of my pets. A Camaro is more practical. I really want a Silverado truck.
I wasn't suggesting that YOU should get a Vette. I was trying to help you sell Corvettes at the dealership.
Jim, I wouldn’t mind a vette. The new Stingray is hot. So glad they brought the curves back. Now I need to learn the manual transmission :/
There is no financial investment case for buying a standard Corvette. It's primarily a psychic value benefit... less so a transportation comfort benefit.

So I wouldn't bother talking about what a great financial investment it is, that's a dead end. My marketing strategy would be trying to get them to picture themselves as really cool people driving a really cool car. That's psychic reward. That's what a Vette is about. And that is where the value for them is. If you can get them to see it, you got a sale. That's your challenge as I see it.
I could teach you to drive stick shift in 15 minutes without leaving the driveway.
Learning to drive a stick is easier than the hokey- pokey.

I learned at 13 by just watching my parents drive the family VW.

Hi, Yo...Silverado [ my fave Amerikan vehicle.
