January Corvette Sales – By the Numbers

A Slow Start To 2018

General Motors has published their first vehicle sales report for 2018, and sales of the C7 Corvette are definitely off to a slow start.

In January, 2018, Chevrolet reported that a total of just 1,005 Corvettes were sold, marking a 20% drop in sales from January, 2017, where Chevrolet had reported selling a total of 1,263 Corvettes during the same time period.

While Corvette sales are traditionally slower during winter months, the year over year decline in January sales suggests a trend indicative of any number of possible causes – including a loss of interest in the current-generation model and/or anticipation of a new-generation model.  In this particular instance however, it should also be noted that the General Motors Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky discontinued production of the 2018 Corvette in early January in preparation for production of the 2019 model.

Chevrolet continues to offer a $2,017 Bonus Cash Allowance on all 2017 Corvettes thru February 12, 2017.
