Corvette C8 Stingray values are down by an average of 12.9%, cars are selling slower and slower, and discounts rates increased even though it is the summer. The Z06 dropped by 31.9% and that this drop basically reflects the deflation of price premiums.

i think this is due to the increase in msrp over the years like what is happening to the g80 m3, i think we will see big changes this winter.

[@danielfair4675]

No one wants a 1lt, that's why they're the most common on availability. Dealerships order them that way to draw folks in, and to give that particular dealer a better chance to increase their chances to get more Vettes to sell in the future. Believe it or not, dealers are only allow to request a certain number of Vettes. Some have to sell 1 before they're allowed to be allocated another to put on the lot. That of course varies, depending on past sales. Some are allowed hundreds .... and some only a slim few a year.

[@MrAleB305]

@@danielfair4675 That's not true imo, sure its the least ordered trim (only 26% of total) but a lot of people just want to get into the cheapest c8 possible. Especially when the whole draw of the C8 is "best new performance car for the price." Me personally, I prefer a 2lt or 3lt but I still think the demand for 1lts is there and statistically it's going to depreciate the least because the higher MSRP cars are going to hold it up.

I bought a 2024 1LT z51 coup about 3 months back for just 6k under MSRP and no dealer addons. I have to assume they were clearing out for the 2025s which were about to go on order. The money I saved let me afford decent forged Aerolarri wheels to replace the awful OEMs.

This happens because people an dishonest dealers bought more than one C8 hoping to flip them only to find out that anyone who wanted a C8 already had it and they didn’t need more than one, now they are forced to sell losing money on depreciation,insurance, registration and maintenance, I ordered mine and got it on July 2023 torch red 1LT HTC red striped wheels and yellow calipers no mark ups because im not an idiot and I wouldn’t sell it as I still have my C6 i bought 14 years ago and still looks amazing
