Chevrolet Corvette dealers in America have over 5,000 C8 Corvettes sports cars for sale, and they’re available at a bargain price.
Chevrolet launched the C8 in 2020, as the first-ever mid-engine version of its famous sports car.
Yet with nearly 6,000 still unsold on lots, they are currently up for grabs with prices set during 2020.
Dealer markups and inflation have seen Corvette prices rise over the last few years, yet these deals might be too tempting for fans to ignore.

Nearly 6,000 Corvettes are sitting on dealer lots
According to the tracker series on Corvette Blogger, there are at least 5,700 C8 Corvettes just sitting on dealership lots in America.
While the official Chevy inventory has seen that decline, there are still at least 5,500 on sale.
Some even have promotional offers, particularly if you have a Costco membership.
The good news for consumers, however, is how affordable they are even without those offers.
When launched in 2020, the C8 cost around $60,000, but markups could push that well beyond $100,000 in extreme cases.
Those prices got even more out of hand with the C8 Z06, as dealers and consumers fought for allocations and to own the sports car.
Discounts could reduce the price of a Corvette
With some of the offers available, the price of a Corvette could come right down.
It isn’t impossible that should you qualify, you might pay less than $60,000.
That would be for a more basic spec C8 Stingray.
But you could walk away with the Z51 package for just under $70,000.
The C8 Corvette proved incredibly popular when it launched, and the mid-engine layout was a game changer.
Demand was so high that prices skyrocketed, and Chevrolet had to step in to try and put a halt to dealership markups.
The American manufacturer even threatened to pull allocations for some dealers and cut ties with them.
These new deals, though, could prove the golden ticket for those who missed out on the sports car the first time round.
But act quickly, the Corvettes are unlikely to linger for too much longer!
