Bought my C8 on Halloween 2024 2LT (hypersonic grey) $60k out the door with 12k miles. I love it but haven't driven it much. I'm still in awe. My first Vette/ premium gas/V8. I already have 2 other cars but this was my dream car. Still surprised when I walk up with the keys.

I have a 3LT Z at MSRP and I have no regrets. It’s like driving a race car every time. The exhaust is crazy, and people go nuts around it. It’s so much fun. Life is short, and these cars are special and memorable, waiting 2-3 more years to get the $10k discount u got on previous Vettes is not worth it if you have the money. These cars will depreciate more but that will stabilize, the cars are just to good.

[@stevenlynch6605]

No point in buying new off the lot. Buy a C8 a couple years old and get a nice discounted vette with warranty.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Very true!!

[@Repomex01]

Used C8s are now in the 50k range the economy and supply are 2 BIG factors.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Yes you are totally correct

[@audrece]

As an advid corvette fan, I think the pricing is the cause. When I purchased my 3rd corvette, a brand new 2016 2 LT Z51 with the carbon fiber exposed roof for just over 60k, now fast forward to now, and that's not even a 1LT today! I could have purchased a ZO6 for just over 70k as well. Now, the ZO6 is 40k plus more for a base. It seems like they have priced a lot of people out of the market.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Wow! I didn’t think about it that way

[@jimsteinway695]

Yea but these Z06s are super cars. I’ve driven the C7 and C8 Z06. The C7 isn’t close to the C8 Z06, not even close. ANY other car you buy with 670 horsepower normally aspirated is going to be $300,000 or more so you go find another car with 670 horsepower carbon brakes twin clutch automatic with carbon and aero for less than a Z06. It doesn’t exist

[@shaoun5876]

Because a z06 is not worth 145k 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@cgarnerspeed252]

I totally understand that!

[@jimsteinway695]

I have driven one for a month. Name another car you can buy with 670 horsepower carbon brakes twin clutch automatic with leather interior you can buy for $150,000. I’ll wait Anything else with those numbers is going to be $300,000 unless you buy a used McLaren, then maybe you can get at $275,000 The only other cars with those numbers are Ferrari McLaren or Lamborghini. Porsches top 911 S turbo is 650 horsepower. The gt3 is 500 hp. All well over $250,000

[@Harley-k6h]

I’ll stick with my 2001 Chevy cavalier!

They gonna constantly sit there. Them things are expensive out there in California down here in North Carolina you can get one for around $72k-$79k ..I see why ppl buying used C8’s or either getting a C7 Z06 for around the same price or either $10k cheaper

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Ooooo I didn’t think about that

[@VolumeUP_Performance]

@ yes!! You can get a C7 Z06 with low miles for around that price between $69k-$72K a tad bit cheaper then a regular C8 Z51 or Stingray! Even though it’s a previous generation you get more performance! A better BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

[@cgarnerspeed252]

@ hm sounds like prices are good over there in NC. What are the gas prices like?

[@VolumeUP_Performance]

@ $3.67 for 93 premium

[@Gt3johnmac]

The economic uncertainty affects all car buying markets, even the elite C8. These cars are expensive and built for a limited market of buyers who can afford them, will drive them, and most importantly will wait the best time to make the move. Keep up the good work, C!👍🏾😎

[@cgarnerspeed252]

That’s a very good point my friend!! I appreciate ya

[@bobbernosky9935]

Not much of discounts, I have seen 10-15 % off MSRP

The C8 is now in its 5th year and the cooling is natural, so we are returning to normal! Glad to see 5 to 7K off the sticker. We have been overpaying for at least 4 years!

[@JohnQ-i4t]

So 2 Z06s 1- sold and one available? Where are the full lot of them? 😂😂😂

[@terrywix6844]

There are too many engine problems in the C8, C7, and C6 Corvettes dropping head vales and spinning rod bearings. Better buy a service warranty to cover the drivetrain, engine, trans and rear end. Protect your assets...

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Yea people are saying that

[@giuseppefondati9647]

They will continue to sit!!! Even though 10% off is typical in C8s!!!

[@a-veteranlandscapesitework2413]

Truth be told, we waiting for them interest rates to drop. My credit score is excellent and I still can't get 0% interest. Once those interest rates drop we'll clear the lot.

[@lspence6810]

We want Vettes at Vette prices. Not Euro/Supercar prices. For the price of a Z06 I can buy a used 911 Turbo. Sure the Z06 is quicker, but the 911 Turbo is exotic and turns more heads.

[@livinglife3230]

I think the z06 is the main reason the Eray isn’t selling. Glad I wasn’t a “bells & whistles” guy when I ordered my c8. The 1LT, 2LT, 3LT all have the SAME hp. I’ve got less than 5k in my 1LT, it’s custom & I’d say it’s the best looking around. And if I decide to upgrade to a z06, I’ve wasted less money in my c8. #💛🖤💛

[@cgarnerspeed252]

That’s a good point too

[@YingYangStang]

Because no one wants to spend +$80K for a plastic, uncomfortable, two seat car, that’s virtually unusable in the winter, is extremely difficult to work on yourself, has a corvette tax attached to it when you service at the stealer, insurance premiums through the roof - need I say more … plus these bastard dealers think they can still sell at or above MSRP - oh yeah, plus the price of groceries.

If Chevy wants to sell these cars maybe they should offer a 0 percent interest rate . Plus all these dealerships advertise a price then you get there and the price really isnt that. They come up with some bullsh@t and add $1000s back to the price. Ive walked out of two stealerships in the past 2 weeks on buying a truck. They should not be allowed to false advertise. So ive been getting it in writing before i even go.

Do you realize that in America, the only two seater sports car for 150k is the corvette,, that’s why they’re not selling because there’s no market for a car like that. If there was a lot of American car manufacturers will be producing a car like that, do you think affluent people in Europe gonna be driving a Corvette no way, the car simply does not fit into the fabric of Americans at that price point.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

That’s a fair point

[@Audiophilifix]

What's the dealership name?

[@ARZiehm]

As soon as interest rates come down, the demand will shoot up. If demand goes up, so will actual price - it evens out honestly. I just went custom at MacMulkin and got a solid discount. Sometimes it's better to just pull the trigger instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity that may never present itself...the dealerships will always be making money, whether it's interest or msrp.

[@ARZiehm]

For the record, I live in Cali too lol so it just goes to show you that it's better to buy from bigger dealers, even out of state... even with delivery it was still way cheaper. The allocation system makes it so that the higher volume dealers succeed even more, and the smaller ones have basically no shot. Especially once you factor in constraints and allocations, it's basically impossible to get what you want if you order locally. For comparison, Rydell has sold 11 stingrays this MY, and MM has already sold 350 in the same time. Last MY, MM sold about 1,500 compared to Rydell's 107... the sales are flowing even more to MM, for better or for worse.

[@michaelzero5144]

Everyone who wanted one has one… anyone who “maybe wants one” thinks they’re two expensive and impractical. Depending on where you live you need another car to drive in the winter. I would say with my limited marketing background someone didn’t do the research on demand. Also then there is the wife factor. Will she let you have one. If you not a millionaire you can’t afford this car, sorry Chevy not that many mills out there…

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Hmm. That’s a very good way of thinking about it

[@ralphlauren7903]

Its not worth the price. And i wouldnt pay 100k for one either no matter how many horses it has. I love corvettes but at the same time you have to realize you arent paying for much other than the engine and that alone is no where near 100k. I do what i did with all of them. Wait until the prices go down and then i will get one. I can care less about bragging rights. Im trying to save money will also spending for my enjoyment. Its just not worth the price for me. 50-60k for a c8 is more realistic
