They have a big event on December 2nd. Very likely, those is for A7v announcement. Me personally, I would wait till after. Used prices are going to fall maybe even for A1, A7r iv and A7r v. Or maybe not for all of them but for A7 iv for sure.
Personally, I am not sure if A1 would be a better buy than A7v. Very likely, A7v has some very handy new features: focus stacking, pre-capture, improved video possibly, high frame rate in the 20-30fps range, .... Even internal raw recording and 6k video capture are on the table. We don't know for sure but they are all possible. If one can make use of the new features, A7v will be a better buy than A1. Otherwise, one can still look for a used A1 whose price in the used market may further drop.
I admit it a little bit exciting to wait and see the new camera considering that Sony has managed to j=hide almost all features of the new camera from being leaked. SAR is still clueless about the features of the new model.
