My Boss told me to be happy that I won as a NV resident. He said CA would take 17%.

Corvette forum is the wrong place to see how much it is worth, now is the wrong time to sell it, Jr. is still on the track racing. As I said before, you really need to sit on it for at least a year until the retirement is sunk in and people realize Jr. is not taking the track again.

If it were me, I would not even consider selling until after Daytona next February.

Spot on with the value of the USED 2017 Vette with nothing ?special.? Value is who the first owner is and the autograph on the car. How much that makes it special depends on the buyer. Ultimately it is worth whatever price you are willing to sell it to a buyer willing to pay said price.

You own the ultimate piece of Jr. Memorabilia, it will not go down in value. I would beg, borrow or steal every single dollar I could to hold on to that car for a while, you are one of the few and the lucky to have a car that will go up in value and won't depreciate. Jr has been the most popular driver in Nascar for how many years now?

As my great grand daddy used to say, don't let buck fever bite you in the arse..

Try the local tracks, Speed Vegas, etc., to see if they would be interested in buying the Vette, worth a shot. The Lamborghini Aventador that crashed there last spring was a used car, so they may only buy "bargain" exotic cars....

Agree with the others, Jr. owning/signing it is a HUGE bonus. Depends if you want to hold out to find the right buyer.

And putting on a few miles isn't going to hurt that value......:D

After next Sunday when the vote closes it will be 15. Bill Elliott has won 16 times, but not consecutively like Junior.

You met JR. Sam, doesn't he deserve it? :D Kaching!

He is a great person! The conversation we had just sitting in the car proved to me how humble he is.

Aprecia88ition is on the passenger visor penned by a left handed dude. I'm listening to MT and letting it sit there awhile.

He is kinda right..yes it would cost whatever tax bracket you are in but unless you make over $500K/year, it wouldn't be over 9%(Not that that is a good thing either).

I knew a guy that owned one of those indy pace car corvettes...he wished he had sold it when he had the chance.
