If you’ve been following the eighth-generation Stingray market as closely as we have, you’ve likely heard about the “crash” that occurred over the last number of months, with many sources noting an excess of new Stingrays on Chevrolet’s inventory page. However, has that dynamic been reflected in the used C8 market yet? Since it is now common to see discounts of 10% (or more!) off MSRP on brand new C8 Stingrays, have substantial discounts trickled down to pre-owned Stingrays? This market feature is FREE and not behind a paywall. When any pop-ups appear, please click to dismiss them and continue enjoying the article.

Since our Bargain Hunting database has two markers for used C8s, dating back to late December 2024, now is the time to analyze how used prices are tracking over the last 10 months. Has there been a used C8 Stingray “crash?” Our methodology is straightforward. We utilize one of the largest and oldest online sales platforms, Autotrader, to find the cheapest, clean-titled Stingrays for sale nationwide. In addition to eliminating branded titles, we also remove Corvettes with mechanical issues and excessive body damage.
