This. 55-60k. MAX. I'll take a 2021, LT2 E-Ray, magnetic suspension but without the Z06 (cuz I like a smoother ride). If I want to mod something it WONT be Corvette
Cars are stacking up almost everywhere at all dealerships, prices need to come down. The average person can’t afford to purchase a new car especially with the prices of almost everything skyrocketing. So sad 😞
That’s because he losses his butt on these cars, he will not get a fraction of what he paid if he was going to trade his cars in today!Anyone that listens and follows these guys will lose their butt , just listen and do opposite what they do!
In 1953 the base model Corvette cost $3,498. Looking at inflation compared to today a base model Corvette would cost $41,331.59. It's outrageous the prices of vehicles now. Just imagine that, in the US a high end best of the best sports car costing $41,000. If I said 25 years ago SUVs and Trucks would be costing $100,000 plus people would think I was insane.
@@voxel999You make it sound like inflation is physics, like it's mother nature, a separate entity that is not controlled by corrupt capitalistic snakes in the government and in Wall Street. If it wasn't for the corrupt banking system that uses interest-based loans and usury, the rich will not be getting richer unjustly and the middle class and poor people would not get poorer.
@@tehtehkhantengames8580they care more about buying a false social status than just enjoying the car. That's why so many fools were desperate to pay $50k over sticker to be the first guy on the block with one.
When GM announced the 2020 would finally be mid-engine...and for less than $ 60k....I was elated. My budget was $ 40k and I assumed after 3 years, I'd be able to pick up a used 2020 for $ 40k. Then the strike...COVID...and all hell broke loose. The C8 became the hottest thing since sliced bread, with dealer games/ADM that in retrospect are still hard to believe. I eventually swallowed hard and bought a new 2023 base C8 at MSRP. It's a wonderful car and I don't regret my decision....but still annoyed at what could have been.
Dude I don’t even remember c7s being that cheap used b4 Covid.. vettes always kept their value pretty well, idk what made you think you where getting a c8 for 40k tbh
If they produced like they did with the introduction of the C4, they would be $40k right now. 50,000 cars vs 20,000 cars. I paid $43k for my 2007 Z06 with no mileage on it. They didn't make enough of the C8, and the pandemic hit. Only now they are catching up, but there is too much money sloshing around bidding everything up. Different times. .
I see a lot of people talking about taking loans for toys, inflated prices, interest rates, etc.. Here's a suggestion (and it's something that really worked for me). 1) Make believe today you bought whatever it is that you have a jones for. 2) Calculate what the payment, increased insurance, and taxes would be so you get an accurate monthly amount. 3) Take out a separate savings account. 4) EVERY month going forward, put that amount into your new account. 5) 6 months down the road, ask yourself how you're doing. Miss a self-payment? Find this was no big deal to do? Find that this is the most cash you had in awhile or ever? Would have rather had the ride than the cash? Would rather have/do something else with the cash? Do your own honest evaluation. 6) And go another 6 months. Seriously, time flies. What I'm suggesting is that if you become your own bank, you get your own interest, just for cooling your jets. Beyond that, it's not uncommon, depending on what you're after and the market, that the thing you were after has actually depreciated/is cheaper, so now you're in even better shape. Or you have time to find a vehicle that someone was all about, but now needs to off it for any number of reasons, like age or other priorities. Here's another one. When you skip a "purchasing cycle' and get away from the whole interest deal (which is now on your side), the next thing is stop riding the "buy it and sell if for less than half of what you paid" cycle. In short, keep it. If you thought it was cool then, why are you giving it away now? And why did you keep it pristene for someone else? So, in my case, starting in the mid-90's with this plan, I continued to bust my ass for toys, but I now have a dozen of them (2, 3, and 4-wheeled), all pristene and low mileage, get to drive whatever I want, and the bank hasn't received a penny in 30 years. **The craziest thing is that you wind up owning things that, when you haven't driven them in awhile, jumping back in or on them is kinda like you just got it all over again! What you're also doing is splitting your "joy miles" across multiple vehicles because you can only drive one at a time, so you win there as well. (Yes, you'll need storage space, but your garage is an appreciating asset, so all good.) Be your own bank and don't fire sale what was once your dream is the message. Over time you can end up with a collection of really cool stuff, instead of 1 latest wondertoy and a payment schedule. Put another way, you shouldn't be paying for what you're driving, you should be saving for the next one, unless you think banks deserve your money more than you do.
@@softhotty Great job and great choice! Being on the right side of it is tremendously gratifying vs. having something hanging over your head. If someone wants to work for a bank, they can fill out an application and get paid for it.
Back just before Steve Jobs returned to Apple; I was planning on buying a then new BMW 3 series. Decided to keep my older BMW and invest that cash in Apple stock. People thought I was nuts. Those 1,200 shares are now worth quite a lot with stock splits, some dividends and the rise of Apple since. It is a massive amount of wealth gained at least on paper.
@kennixox262 Wow! Well in your case a little 4-wheeled profit taking might be in order, no? I still have my Mustang from back then and it has less than 5,000 miles on it, but you were clearly a hell of a lot smarter!
It looks like a wannabe exotic. It's too much for a Corvette, which had already been competing with exotics performance wise without looking like a hot wheels car.
@@marblox9300 you got to go get those eyes checked old timer😂 C7s are perfect😍 the C6 looks like it was designed by people on sleeping pills in comparison. Not a bad looking car but the styling is too conservative and looks like a Ferrari 360 clone lmao
@@EJleon96 C7 Coupes are BUTT UGLY.!!! The C7 Convert is a bit better but the C6 Convert still looks better. Maybe you just have bad taste in visual appearance. It's True.!!!
As a financial advisor for over forty years, I tell my clients that the WORST financial decision they can make is to buy a new car (and finance it). Most high-end cars lose HALF their value in three years.
Come on, MSRP started at 60k and is now at 70k smh MSRP should have stayed at 60k. The z06 was massively overpriced at 110k. It should have been well under 100k. I found it comical how many people tried to justify the high msrp
OK, you must be a vegetarian. Did you buy beef steaks in 2020 or 2021? Have you tried to buy them recently? Probably a 40% increase... but a C8 should have no increase in price? HHmm, UUmm, HHmm. I paid 94k-ish for my early 2021 C8 loaded convertible. That was MSRP though. So somehow you believe a flat plane crank Z06 at 110k is MASSIVELY overpriced? Maybe you are very young and don't yet understand automotive economics... but when you become ruler of your world, let me know and maybe I'll move there... because I love the sound of getting something for nothing LOL. ... a Z06 should be well under 100k? WAIT, I bet you can find some cheap Corvettes on Copart :-). People like myself pay more to go sideways faster, to pull over 1 G in corners. It's a blast, especially with friends. The Corvette is not perfect but it does stack up well to MANY much more expensive cars that perform similarly. I wish you luck in whatever cars you find in the future and stay safe :-)
A C8s aren’t rare. 53K built in 2023. 36K built in 2022. And probably 40K built in 2024 already. Way too many for the market. Production needs to be halved.
@@voxel999 Literally. GM cranks them out like nobodys business. Its literally rarer to see a 5.0 mustang or SS camaro at this point. I think their production numbers are way smaller too. I dont even get excited to see a C8 or any corvette for that matter because they are everywhere.
Agreed. It’s like Chevy handed the blueprints for a Ferrari 458 to a Russian copycat design firm and said: “make us an exact replica of this Ferrari.” And the C8 is what we got… just an awkward looking “Great Value” Ferrari from every angle.
Retired designer here, and I agree that it's not a beautiful design. Way too busy, and the front and rear need a fresh pass, especially the rear. What it has going for it are dramatic proportions.
i really wanted a c8 on launch. Just an entry level. Then then only produced half of what they had planned, and prices went through the roof. Then Gm got caught selling onstar data from vettes and camaros to insurance companies. Then i gave up.
I got my C6 Z06 for the same price. Higher miles, but making 520+rwhp and in great condition. $30k for a C5Z is steep. It better be white for that price.
I sold my C8 when I got divorced in 2021. I bought a manual C5 coupe for the money I made off the C8 at the time. I have 93% of the fun I had in the C8 :-) I have about 15k into my C5. If I spent another 15k into it, a stock C5 Z06 would quickly disappear in my mirror. With the extra 15k, I could update the handling and upgrade the engine and probably put a hurt'n on the C6 Z06. The C5 coupe is a great value and great car to modify. I do love how a lowered C5 Z06 looks though. It's the only reason I would buy the C5 Z06, it looks pretty badass... but even it's performance would certainly benefit greatly from some upgrades :-)
Twin turbo C8's currently running in the mid 8 second range at over 170. These buildable cars currently can be had for $100-$110K! LOVE to see a buildup of a C8 on this channel!
@COBRO98 I guess YOU aren't impressed with the DEMON 170 as it costs well over $100K and has a very hard time running 8's as advertised before BLOWING UP!
@@royrauch9775 It wasn't long ago $100,000 would buy you a nice house, I'm never paying anywhere near that for a passenger vehicle. Chrysler and Chevrolet haven't made a reliable vehicle in over 20 years, why anyone would pay that kind of money for one is incomprehensible.
I actually love the look of the new Vettes, but will never own another GM product due to their refusal to honor their warranty years ago on my 2003 Chevy Duramax (GM burnt that bridge for me). Have never had a warranty denied on a Ford or Mopar product, and I've own too many cars & trucks to count!
I had a friend have it happen with a Dodge Magnum that engine seized. But I completely understand cause I feel the same about Mopar. Had issues with them. Once a company does that it leaves a bad taste in your mouth for them. I'm not spending hard earned money to be mistreated. Lexus knows how to treat me. 😂
+1 here for feeling the same back at Mopar. 1995 Eagle Talon. Just imagine how many cars I could have bought from them since then. All I would have needed to forgive and forget the whole thing was enough to get out of the loan, but I guess for them, it would have meant confessing to an engine fire. That might have cost them them millions of other customers. Oh well, as Dubya Bush said "you don't get fooled again", ha ha.
considering EPA and CAFE standards will go away. Prices need to come down, they should have stuck to building cars instead of getting on there knees for the government
That’s because Chevy built 53K C8s last year and are producing that many this year. That’s an insane number of high end $80-100K vehicles. The market can’t support it.
We want a brand new C8 with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!! Not the nonsense Automatic transmission b.s .... Enthusiast vehicles are about the experience and if we really want something fast then we'd simply get a Tesla Plaid and call it a day !!!
I ordered my car in 2021.....got it in 2022....sold it this past August. I got a great price for a 3 model year old car.........I knew things were going to crash in prices....glad I sold it when I did......I paid 75K, drove it 14,000 miles, had it three Summers and sold it to a dealer for 59K. That's four months ago, it's still sitting on the lot, they want 70K for it which is really insane as an asking price....it's worth what they paid for it, they won't be able to sell it for more.!
Congratulations are in order. You have done well. As for me, I would not pay over $30K fior an US built car, at that point I might as well go with a Japanese .. like Acura RLX or NSX.
I intend on buying one of these this upcoming Summer. The pricing structure is getting WAY better now, finally. Many dealerships are offering $7500+ off MSRP on brand new '24 and '25 models.
No vette is worth over 100k. Sorry just aint happening. In fact no american can is worth over 100k. ( new american cars) mostly plastic an fake carbon fiber
I love my 2024 ct5v Blackwing. Worth the money in my opinion. And I’ve had a lot of fast cars. Hell, my 2023 TRX is probably the most well rounded vehicle I own and was right around 101k after 11,500 off msrp. My I bought my 2011 ford raptor brand new for 55k. Is an extra 40k worth it for the trx? You bet your ass it is.
I don't know. In the C8 forums there SEEM to be a lot of people having transmission problems (requiring a complete new transmission) with *very* low miles on the car. Don't know if they are a very loud minority that is artificially magnifying the problem. Have you heard that?
Just reporting in… Here in CT I see dozens of new C8’s in the $65-$80K range that are listed @ $10K below MSRP as the starting ask. The highest end most coveted vehicles are still priced @ MSRP (asking). The #1 feeling re: The Election, from 1,000’s of comments I’ve read seems to suggest a massive dose of confusion and chaos heading our way. And I’m a lifetime optimist. Believing we’ll all be stunned at the drop in prices/deals available a year or so from now. Detailing out and enjoying what we have seems like a great plan while stuff sorts out.
Prices are part of the problem. Interest rates are another. Daughter bought a brand new Subaru with 2.99% few weeks ago. So random manufacture deals exist. But overall bank rates are insane. 806 Credit score for me. Need a 84 month loan to afford a 60k pick up or scat pack so interst rates are 7% to 8%. That's nuts for perfect credit!!! 3rd problem. Soft on crime the last several years. So thefts are out of control. Cops don't even raise an eyebrow when people go through our streets cars. We know who it is. They say turn it in to insurance. Only time jail happens (catch and release) is when they take the whole car. So everyone's insurance rates are doubling to cover crime en mass. 60K vehicle is $2,000 a month with loan,interest, insurance and gas. And that's mid level Pick up, Challenger and no Vette.
@BBBILLY86 my scat pack recently got stolen, don't buy a stellantis product they are literally one of the easiest cars to steal. I'm going back to ford most likely if prices drop
@BigJoe2.0 Mine is blocked in by 2 other vehicles until interest rates come down, and I can afford to take a loan to build a garage. It's not gonna build at 9% interest. Ram 2 doors down from me were stolen in July. Same truck I have, so I feel lucky. I live in a country with 1 acre properties, and everyone is red neck gun owners with dont tread on me flags. Yet..... Criminals from the city a mile away come out here and steal cars. I have no idea how they don't get shot. Last year, national news was made because a car and motorcycle drove into a guys property. (Lost looking for a party) Homeowner thought it was bandits and shot a warning shot. At the car like a fool and killed a teen girl instantly. This is the type of BS that's happening because everyone is scared or causing fear of crime. My 1970 Nova 396 got jacked June 1st this year by a punk who didn't think red lights applied to him and was trying to get to two guys over dosing on herion. Totaled my classic and almost took my arm out the window clear off. Cops and insurance did nothing except write a ticket to him. I had it insured for 2016 value. So cost me a 40k car. Can't protect them on property, can't insure them, and ya can't arrest or shoot the thiefs. My next vehicle will be a dozen with steel plates. Hahahahahah
Great video RacerX, I enjoyed the content. My gripe against Vettes is how low they are to the ground. When I bought my used 2022 Challenger GT, I looked at a couple of the Vettes and figured there was no way I would be able to fold up into one.
@GenXGrown 6'-5" 306 lbs man. Love my Scat Pack. My buddy has storage buildings he rents to classic cars in the winter. Sometimes, we need to shuffle a dozen cars to get one out. His 13 year old grandson moves the C8s. I'm too tall and fat, and he's too old to get in and out. Appeals to men under 5'-10" that are slender. Get with the times Vette.
@@carguy0389 , dude they were on the same lot, I looked at them, I looked at Camrys and I looked at RAM and Titans but I got my Challenger. Just because I looked at them didn't mean I was dead set on buying it. I went with the V6 for multiple reasons, the V8 would have been nice, but the huge cost jump at that stealership stopped me.
Just bought a new 2lt last month for 10k under msrp. I love the car so much!Although I’ve owned a redeye, m4, ZL1 and mustangs, this is my 1st vette. No regrets. The car is very fun to drive. So glad I waited for a better price.
I just sold my c7z few days ago and using that money to pay my trx off. About to start saving up for a c8z. Would consider a demon 170 but I don’t like the issues.
So, I fell for click bait. The title of this video is literally, "C8 Corvettes are stacking up as Prices Crash!" You go on to show C8 ERays, Z06s, and a few Stingrays or various specs. I went on the dealer website and found that the CHEAPEST C8 is still an asking price of nearly 70k. I got my C7 Z51 2LT for 65k out the door. Chevrolet could have some damn integrity and maintain the Corvette as the "Everyman" sportscar, but they went Porche with prices. The least you could have done was not to click bait viewers into your bullsht too. This only serves to make a Tesla Model 3 Performance the new "Everyman" sportscar. The king is dead... long live the king.
used? a dealer sent me a $5k off MSRP offer on both NEW 2024 and 2025 vettes on his lot a couple weeks ago. Dealers don't take a dump without authorization from GM; so GM is sending out price discount authorizations to try to get NEW vettes off the lot. played in the vette sandbox since 2005 and this is the earliest i've ever seen next years models being discounted.
I have always looked at the C8 as I have an 06 Cayman S with the mid-engine config. There is a reason the Cayman was a car and driver top ten for over a decade... mid engine. The base C8 is my car on steriods. I watch the depreciation curve of the C8 and I will have one...at the right time.
Been saving for a new truck for a while now and my current 2017 ram is doing good so i decided to wait until the prices crash so hopefully i can get something good for cheap. I got my eye on one particular truck that has been sitting at a dealership for about a year now. The price has dropped from 50k now down to 38k. If it drops below 35 i will make a move. Fingers crossed 🤞
60k ain't bad for that package. But it's still mad silly to pay these prices. Always remember. It's not that the prices are high. The currency has been printed over and over. Laundered and Laundered. To devalue it. Wake up. Quit support all their lies
I have literally seen truck loads of C8’s in my city coming in and out. It’s wild to me. Honestly now that I think about it I find it weird how many Semi trucks I see loaded up with literally nothing but C8’s but I hardly ever see them on the road in comparison to how much I see them on the truck. They’re not rare but they’re not seen as much as they should be considering the fact of how often I see them on trucks
Other than more horsepower, there really isn't too much of a difference between the C8 Corvette trims. In fact, you can purchase an aftermarket body kit for the 2020 C8 that torches aesthetic look of the Z06 and ZR1 C8 Corvettes.
C8 looks great on the outside and pretty sweet on the inside with the exception of that Huge Center Console. Whom ever the designers were that decided we needed a one man cockpit were mistaken. Our passenger is not just extra baggage that deserves no consideration. If the engineers decided to build a one piece body and frame then they werent aware of the ergonomics of the interior. I know the huge center console idea has been around a long time but that doesnt make it good. Take a cue from some of the other great brand performance vehicles.

Sold my 2012 Grand Sport to buy a 2007 Z06. Sold/gave the C6 Z06 to CARMAX before it dropped an exhaust valve. Having owned corvettes for more than 35 years, you could not give me one for free. Now I have cash. CASH IS KING...
I'm sticking with my 2010 Tahoe with 280k miles. Had 120k on it when I bought it 5 years ago. Never a loan payment and basic insurance is cheap. Take it on long trips all the time. Oil changes every few months and I'm good to go. Stopped trying to impress people with my car years ago.
I have been driving every generation Corvette since 2002. Always gotten a great deal. Never wanted anything else. The reason I did not even try to get a C8 is because suddenly all these non Corvette guys were hogging the first C8's and then the Z06's. I didn't even try. Sold my C7Z with high miles and went with a redeye. Not even close to the C7z experience but the Dodge is still a great, special car.
I just got my 24 3 weeks ago for $10k off sticker (and solid trade in value to boot) and was really pretty pleased with that. It’s still a lot of money, but it’s also a hell of a lot of car
Dodge did the same thing with the hellcat. Couldn't keep them on the lot in 2015 and the cars were commanding ADM. They countered with over production in 2016 and people were buying brand new 2016's in 2017 for steep discounts.
Hey Racer, I don't want any C8 that looks like euro trash with a Chevy emblem. I'm old and love the Corvettes that you didn't have to guess what the hell they we're. Thanks ANB
I have a 2020 F150 Raptor w/ 80k miles pristine condition, & an 03 Z06 vette cammed/meth/supercharged 700+whp w/ 69k miles (on the body)….was considering parting w/ both & getting a low low mileage C8 & a more basic truck for truck stuff. I also have a ‘24 Acura Integra as my good mpg DD….
If I recall correctly...Luxury level domestic vehicles during " regular" times always had big discounts. I recall seeing $10-12K off MSRP for things like Corvettes, Escalades etc Covid changed everything..ofcourse
Corvettes are basically adult toys. (Which is fine) 👍🏻 i had one and it was a blast. But the market will dictate what they want, and what they will pay.
Remember it's your deal not the dealership deal keep control an walk away if the dealership is not willing to come down on price. Come with a pre-approval from your bank
I love the design, performance and price of the C8, but the lack of a manual transmission kills something inside of me. If they announced a manual transmission (available with 1LT), I would place a deposit tomorrow.

Inflation mostly just measures consumables. Stocks and real estate inflation is probably a better metric.

There's tons of value at 60k. This car was never going to be 40k used.

Here's a suggestion (and it's something that really worked for me).
1) Make believe today you bought whatever it is that you have a jones for.
2) Calculate what the payment, increased insurance, and taxes would be so you get an accurate monthly amount.
3) Take out a separate savings account.
4) EVERY month going forward, put that amount into your new account.
5) 6 months down the road, ask yourself how you're doing. Miss a self-payment? Find this was no big deal to do? Find that this is the most cash you had in awhile or ever? Would have rather had the ride than the cash? Would rather have/do something else with the cash? Do your own honest evaluation.
6) And go another 6 months. Seriously, time flies.
What I'm suggesting is that if you become your own bank, you get your own interest, just for cooling your jets. Beyond that, it's not uncommon, depending on what you're after and the market, that the thing you were after has actually depreciated/is cheaper, so now you're in even better shape. Or you have time to find a vehicle that someone was all about, but now needs to off it for any number of reasons, like age or other priorities.
Here's another one. When you skip a "purchasing cycle' and get away from the whole interest deal (which is now on your side), the next thing is stop riding the "buy it and sell if for less than half of what you paid" cycle. In short, keep it. If you thought it was cool then, why are you giving it away now? And why did you keep it pristene for someone else?
So, in my case, starting in the mid-90's with this plan, I continued to bust my ass for toys, but I now have a dozen of them (2, 3, and 4-wheeled), all pristene and low mileage, get to drive whatever I want, and the bank hasn't received a penny in 30 years.
**The craziest thing is that you wind up owning things that, when you haven't driven them in awhile, jumping back in or on them is kinda like you just got it all over again! What you're also doing is splitting your "joy miles" across multiple vehicles because you can only drive one at a time, so you win there as well. (Yes, you'll need storage space, but your garage is an appreciating asset, so all good.)
Be your own bank and don't fire sale what was once your dream is the message. Over time you can end up with a collection of really cool stuff, instead of 1 latest wondertoy and a payment schedule.
Put another way, you shouldn't be paying for what you're driving, you should be saving for the next one, unless you think banks deserve your money more than you do.
Cash is king. I saved, and saved and paid cash for my Porsche 981 Cayman GTS. The only way. Aint giving my hard earned away, aint happening.
@@softhotty Great job and great choice! Being on the right side of it is tremendously gratifying vs. having something hanging over your head. If someone wants to work for a bank, they can fill out an application and get paid for it.

Back just before Steve Jobs returned to Apple; I was planning on buying a then new BMW 3 series. Decided to keep my older BMW and invest that cash in Apple stock. People thought I was nuts. Those 1,200 shares are now worth quite a lot with stock splits, some dividends and the rise of Apple since. It is a massive amount of wealth gained at least on paper.
@kennixox262 Wow! Well in your case a little 4-wheeled profit taking might be in order, no?
I still have my Mustang from back then and it has less than 5,000 miles on it, but you were clearly a hell of a lot smarter!
Not a Corvette guy, but the C8 doesn't do it for me visually, IMO, the C6 , C7, and the '60s Vettes are much better looking.
I think the C6 Convertible is nicer looking than the C7 and C8. C7 Coupes are BUTT UGLY. And C8 Convertibles are strange looking.
It looks like a wannabe exotic. It's too much for a Corvette, which had already been competing with exotics performance wise without looking like a hot wheels car.
Same. I’m not a huge Corvette van, but I do like the older ones and the C6/7 are pretty cool. C8 nope.
@@marblox9300 you got to go get those eyes checked old timer😂 C7s are perfect😍 the C6 looks like it was designed by people on sleeping pills in comparison. Not a bad looking car but the styling is too conservative and looks like a Ferrari 360 clone lmao

As a financial advisor for over forty years, I tell my clients that the WORST financial decision they can make is to buy a new car (and finance it).
Most high-end cars lose HALF their value in three years.
Don't those buyers that paid way above sticker prices. Feel like fools now?. 😂
They’re retired grandpas on social security. They don’t mind
Come on, MSRP started at 60k and is now at 70k smh MSRP should have stayed at 60k. The z06 was massively overpriced at 110k. It should have been well under 100k. I found it comical how many people tried to justify the high msrp
Exactly, I go back and forth all the time here on the issue.
OK, you must be a vegetarian. Did you buy beef steaks in 2020 or 2021? Have you tried to buy them recently? Probably a 40% increase... but a C8 should have no increase in price? HHmm, UUmm, HHmm. I paid 94k-ish for my early 2021 C8 loaded convertible. That was MSRP though. So somehow you believe a flat plane crank Z06 at 110k is MASSIVELY overpriced? Maybe you are very young and don't yet understand automotive economics... but when you become ruler of your world, let me know and maybe I'll move there... because I love the sound of getting something for nothing LOL. ... a Z06 should be well under 100k? WAIT, I bet you can find some cheap Corvettes on Copart :-). People like myself pay more to go sideways faster, to pull over 1 G in corners. It's a blast, especially with friends. The Corvette is not perfect but it does stack up well to MANY much more expensive cars that perform similarly. I wish you luck in whatever cars you find in the future and stay safe :-)
@jamesonearth8331 lol you got ripped off, of course you were going to justify your purchase. No need to read after that.
@@jp23x I wasn't being an ahole. "Justifying my purchase"? I sold my C8 after 4000 miles and made $16k. That justified my purchase knucklehead.
A Acura Integra is 55k a Vette shouldn't be close to that price
I'm sorry, C8 are very ugly. The line towards the rear of the car does not flow. The rear spoiler looks like an after thought!
I don’t like the base models. Z06 and Zr1 are so much better
My most complimented car ever
C8 Coupes are OK, but the C8 Converts are odd looking. I think the Z06 and E-Rays are worse looking than the Base C8 Coupe.
I agree, this car looks better without the spoiler. But some people just like to add crap to their car - and pay huge money to do so.
Amazing that $100k++ new cars get left outside.
Showrooms arent that large
A C8s aren’t rare. 53K built in 2023. 36K built in 2022. And probably 40K built in 2024 already. Way too many for the market. Production needs to be halved.
@@voxel999 Literally. GM cranks them out like nobodys business. Its literally rarer to see a 5.0 mustang or SS camaro at this point. I think their production numbers are way smaller too. I dont even get excited to see a C8 or any corvette for that matter because they are everywhere.
I agree!
You’ve never driven pass a bmw, Porsche, or Mercedes dealership??
It just looks like an origami nightmare. Something just isn't right with this design.
Agreed. It’s like Chevy handed the blueprints for a Ferrari 458 to a Russian copycat design firm and said: “make us an exact replica of this Ferrari.” And the C8 is what we got… just an awkward looking “Great Value” Ferrari from every angle.
Nah looks badass.
@@mattspeer01Not a Ferrari, but it still looks good to most it seems.
Retired designer here, and I agree that it's not a beautiful design. Way too busy, and the front and rear need a fresh pass, especially the rear. What it has going for it are dramatic proportions.
The C8 Convert is UGLY. Z06 is UGLY. E-Ray is UGLY. The best of the bunch is the Base Coupe. It's True.!!!
How funny it is that in 2020, dealership lots were pretty much empty. FW to 2024, and consumers can’t afford to replace windshield wipers.
i really wanted a c8 on launch. Just an entry level. Then then only produced half of what they had planned, and prices went through the roof. Then Gm got caught selling onstar data from vettes and camaros to insurance companies. Then i gave up.
I was not aware of the OnStar Data issue. Thanks for bringing that to attention.
My prediction is this is RacerX getting us primed for him buying new Corvette now that Challengers and Chargers are done.
I told him to buy a Z06, way better than a Demon.
I agree fully. I recently picked up a C5 Z06 with 20,000 miles all stock for 30k.
That’s still high in my opinion. If it’s worth it to you, then that’s all that matters
If you think that's a good deal you DON'T know the market...
Its 20 yrs old too😂
I got my C6 Z06 for the same price. Higher miles, but making 520+rwhp and in great condition. $30k for a C5Z is steep. It better be white for that price.
I sold my C8 when I got divorced in 2021. I bought a manual C5 coupe for the money I made off the C8 at the time. I have 93% of the fun I had in the C8 :-) I have about 15k into my C5. If I spent another 15k into it, a stock C5 Z06 would quickly disappear in my mirror. With the extra 15k, I could update the handling and upgrade the engine and probably put a hurt'n on the C6 Z06. The C5 coupe is a great value and great car to modify. I do love how a lowered C5 Z06 looks though. It's the only reason I would buy the C5 Z06, it looks pretty badass... but even it's performance would certainly benefit greatly from some upgrades :-)
That red dodge in garage looks great!
Twin turbo C8's currently running in the mid 8 second range at over 170. These buildable cars currently can be had for $100-$110K! LOVE to see a buildup of a C8 on this channel!
Is that supposed to be impressive? You can run 8's with a big block for less than $10,000.
@COBRO98 I guess YOU aren't impressed with the DEMON 170 as it costs well over $100K and has a very hard time running 8's as advertised before BLOWING UP!

See, you just said 85K, but the MSRP is 53K. Dealers have added 20 to 40K in markups. F' the dealer.
C8 msrp is not 53k or anywhere close to that

I actually love the look of the new Vettes, but will never own another GM product due to their refusal to honor their warranty years ago on my 2003 Chevy Duramax (GM burnt that bridge for me). Have never had a warranty denied on a Ford or Mopar product, and I've own too many cars & trucks to count!
I had a friend have it happen with a Dodge Magnum that engine seized. But I completely understand cause I feel the same about Mopar. Had issues with them. Once a company does that it leaves a bad taste in your mouth for them. I'm not spending hard earned money to be mistreated. Lexus knows how to treat me. 😂
@therealsyxx 💯
+1 here for feeling the same back at Mopar. 1995 Eagle Talon. Just imagine how many cars I could have bought from them since then. All I would have needed to forgive and forget the whole thing was enough to get out of the loan, but I guess for them, it would have meant confessing to an engine fire. That might have cost them them millions of other customers. Oh well, as Dubya Bush said "you don't get fooled again", ha ha.
considering EPA and CAFE standards will go away. Prices need to come down, they should have stuck to building cars instead of getting on there knees for the government
That’s because Chevy built 53K C8s last year and are producing that many this year. That’s an insane number of high end $80-100K vehicles. The market can’t support it.
It's not a discount. Those cars are 30-50k over what they are actually worth.
Prices and interest rates are a big road block for many and what's so amazing? The dealers seem to not even wonder why sales are down.......insanity!
Because Stealerships love dumb people who have little down and FINANCE. I worked in car sales for a time.
Just looked and the cheapest one around me was $55k with 33k miles and now I’m thinking about it
DO IT! 😂
33k miles is nothing. These aren’t Ferraris, you shouldn’t have a major repair every 2k miles lmao
We want a brand new C8 with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!! Not the nonsense Automatic transmission b.s .... Enthusiast vehicles are about the experience and if we really want something fast then we'd simply get a Tesla Plaid and call it a day !!!
Get a Miata with manual and have the most fun!!!
GEE! IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA MENTION PRICES IT'S JUST A FREE COMMERCIAL FOR CORVETTES!
This wasn't about the prices of individual cars at a single dealership.. perhaps you missed the point
I hate all caps replies 🤮
I ordered my car in 2021.....got it in 2022....sold it this past August. I got a great price for a 3 model year old car.........I knew things were going to crash in prices....glad I sold it when I did......I paid 75K, drove it 14,000 miles, had it three Summers and sold it to a dealer for 59K. That's four months ago, it's still sitting on the lot, they want 70K for it which is really insane as an asking price....it's worth what they paid for it, they won't be able to sell it for more.!
Congratulations are in order. You have done well. As for me, I would not pay over $30K fior an US built car, at that point I might as well go with a Japanese .. like Acura RLX or NSX.

I don't know. In the C8 forums there SEEM to be a lot of people having transmission problems (requiring a complete new transmission) with *very* low miles on the car. Don't know if they are a very loud minority that is artificially magnifying the problem. Have you heard that?
Just reporting in…
Here in CT I see dozens of new C8’s in the $65-$80K range that are listed @ $10K below MSRP as the starting ask.
The highest end most coveted vehicles are still priced @ MSRP (asking).
The #1 feeling re: The Election, from 1,000’s of comments I’ve read seems to suggest a massive dose of confusion and chaos heading our way. And I’m a lifetime optimist.
Believing we’ll all be stunned at the drop in prices/deals available a year or so from now.
Detailing out and enjoying what we have seems like a great plan while stuff sorts out.
Prices are part of the problem. Interest rates are another. Daughter bought a brand new Subaru with 2.99% few weeks ago. So random manufacture deals exist. But overall bank rates are insane. 806 Credit score for me. Need a 84 month loan to afford a 60k pick up or scat pack so interst rates are 7% to 8%. That's nuts for perfect credit!!! 3rd problem. Soft on crime the last several years. So thefts are out of control. Cops don't even raise an eyebrow when people go through our streets cars. We know who it is. They say turn it in to insurance. Only time jail happens (catch and release) is when they take the whole car. So everyone's insurance rates are doubling to cover crime en mass. 60K vehicle is $2,000 a month with loan,interest, insurance and gas. And that's mid level Pick up, Challenger and no Vette.
@BBBILLY86 my scat pack recently got stolen, don't buy a stellantis product they are literally one of the easiest cars to steal. I'm going back to ford most likely if prices drop
@BigJoe2.0 Mine is blocked in by 2 other vehicles until interest rates come down, and I can afford to take a loan to build a garage. It's not gonna build at 9% interest. Ram 2 doors down from me were stolen in July. Same truck I have, so I feel lucky. I live in a country with 1 acre properties, and everyone is red neck gun owners with dont tread on me flags. Yet..... Criminals from the city a mile away come out here and steal cars. I have no idea how they don't get shot. Last year, national news was made because a car and motorcycle drove into a guys property. (Lost looking for a party) Homeowner thought it was bandits and shot a warning shot. At the car like a fool and killed a teen girl instantly. This is the type of BS that's happening because everyone is scared or causing fear of crime. My 1970 Nova 396 got jacked June 1st this year by a punk who didn't think red lights applied to him and was trying to get to two guys over dosing on herion. Totaled my classic and almost took my arm out the window clear off. Cops and insurance did nothing except write a ticket to him. I had it insured for 2016 value. So cost me a 40k car. Can't protect them on property, can't insure them, and ya can't arrest or shoot the thiefs. My next vehicle will be a dozen with steel plates. Hahahahahah

So, I fell for click bait. The title of this video is literally, "C8 Corvettes are stacking up as Prices Crash!"
You go on to show C8 ERays, Z06s, and a few Stingrays or various specs. I went on the dealer website and found that the CHEAPEST C8 is still an asking price of nearly 70k. I got my C7 Z51 2LT for 65k out the door.
Chevrolet could have some damn integrity and maintain the Corvette as the "Everyman" sportscar, but they went Porche with prices.
The least you could have done was not to click bait viewers into your bullsht too.
This only serves to make a Tesla Model 3 Performance the new "Everyman" sportscar. The king is dead... long live the king.
Amazing! It must absolutely “fly” down the road, such lightweight cars. I still prefer the Charger beasts.
C8 is an awesome platform in any of the trim packages.
used? a dealer sent me a $5k off MSRP offer on both NEW 2024 and 2025 vettes on his lot a couple weeks ago. Dealers don't take a dump without authorization from GM; so GM is sending out price discount authorizations to try to get NEW vettes off the lot. played in the vette sandbox since 2005 and this is the earliest i've ever seen next years models being discounted.
I’m a player for a C6 coupe six speed manual. Way more fun!
Really great breakdown of the new corvettes for us novices.Im considering buying a new or used C-8 and really appreciate your channel.
I have always looked at the C8 as I have an 06 Cayman S with the mid-engine config. There is a reason the Cayman was a car and driver top ten for over a decade... mid engine. The base C8 is my car on steriods. I watch the depreciation curve of the C8 and I will have one...at the right time.
Been saving for a new truck for a while now and my current 2017 ram is doing good so i decided to wait until the prices crash so hopefully i can get something good for cheap. I got my eye on one particular truck that has been sitting at a dealership for about a year now. The price has dropped from 50k now down to 38k. If it drops below 35 i will make a move. Fingers crossed 🤞

This guy talking is so upside down on his garbage inventory to the point that he is losing sleep over it! Guaranteed!😊😊
60k ain't bad for that package. But it's still mad silly to pay these prices. Always remember. It's not that the prices are high. The currency has been printed over and over. Laundered and Laundered. To devalue it. Wake up. Quit support all their lies
no shortage on cars just a shortage of customers that a good way to put it.
I have literally seen truck loads of C8’s in my city coming in and out. It’s wild to me. Honestly now that I think about it I find it weird how many Semi trucks I see loaded up with literally nothing but C8’s but I hardly ever see them on the road in comparison to how much I see them on the truck. They’re not rare but they’re not seen as much as they should be considering the fact of how often I see them on trucks
Other than more horsepower, there really isn't too much of a difference between the C8 Corvette trims. In fact, you can purchase an aftermarket body kit for the 2020 C8 that torches aesthetic look of the Z06 and ZR1 C8 Corvettes.
Thank god prices are coming down to what they deserve to be!
C8 looks great on the outside and pretty sweet on the inside with the exception of that Huge Center Console. Whom ever the designers were that decided we needed a one man cockpit were mistaken. Our passenger is not just extra baggage that deserves no consideration. If the engineers decided to build a one piece body and frame then they werent aware of the ergonomics of the interior. I know the huge center console idea has been around a long time but that doesnt make it good. Take a cue from some of the other great brand performance vehicles.

I'm sticking with my 2010 Tahoe with 280k miles. Had 120k on it when I bought it 5 years ago. Never a loan payment and basic insurance is cheap. Take it on long trips all the time. Oil changes every few months and I'm good to go. Stopped trying to impress people with my car years ago.
Didn't see a single car selling for $60k or less. looks like this was just a vette plug
I have been driving every generation Corvette since 2002. Always gotten a great deal.
Never wanted anything else. The reason I did not even try to get a C8 is because suddenly all these non Corvette guys were hogging the first C8's and then the Z06's. I didn't even try. Sold my C7Z with high miles and went with a redeye.
Not even close to the C7z experience but the Dodge is still a great, special car.

If I recall correctly...Luxury level domestic vehicles during " regular" times always had big discounts. I recall seeing $10-12K off MSRP for things like Corvettes, Escalades etc
Covid changed everything..ofcourse
Corvettes are basically adult toys. (Which is fine) 👍🏻 i had one and it was a blast.
But the market will dictate what they want, and what they will pay.
Remember it's your deal not the dealership deal keep control an walk away if the dealership is not willing to come down on price. Come with a pre-approval from your bank
I wanted one of these so bad. After a head on collision in my camaro i don't think i will ever want a small sports car/muscle car again.
I like the Z06 but I love my C7Z. IMO they look and sound a lot better. I do love the motor in the C8Z though.
I love the design, performance and price of the C8, but the lack of a manual transmission kills something inside of me.
If they announced a manual transmission (available with 1LT), I would place a deposit tomorrow.
Cool cars thanks for showing 👍
