The crazy part about this is you can buy this from your local dealership. We have like 5 plus on Vancouver Island. From the looks of it this is not going to be some limited edition car. You could drive this across the country with out any problems and even if you did have a problem you have like 400 plus dealerships you could take it to. Good chance they would have the part in stock or could order it quick. Even 15 plus years from now parts would be easy to get. I had a faulty oil sensor in my R8 and they had get one hand built from Germany because no one had any.

Is there any reason you don't see many c8s around? Was it cuz they pulled a gtr and jacked up the msrp? Or dealers gate keeping them like Toyota and Honda?

Unfortunately, GM is kind of well known for not having the greatest reliability even in their Corvettes. Every generation from C5 - C8 is known to be affected by some sort of issue even when the car is new, esp when it hits the track. Most of the time, GM eventually figures out how to make the car (ie. the Vette) sufficiently reliable, but IMO you probably don't want an early model year car.

One reason I read about is all the traditionalists not liking the Vette to move into an MR platform -- they just want their Vettes to keep being FR, and the move to MR also significantly changed the way the car looks.
IMO another reason we don't see as many C8 compared to earlier generations when they were new is -- the traditional Vette fans are really getting old now, so a new gen Vette might not be on their radars anymore.
