by Low Prices on the Corvette Z06
If you’ve long dreamed of a Chevrolet Corvette Z06, now might be the perfect time to buy. Just a few years ago, dealers in the US were selling these cars with markups that seemed simply ridiculous. However, the situation has changed, and now you can find low-mileage C8 Z06 models for below the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.
For example, one specimen in Riptide Blue Metallic with a mere 227 miles (365 km) on the odometer was recently sold for $131,000, although its starting price was $154,020. This is not an isolated case – last month, a similar car in Rapid Blue went for $125,000 against a starting cost of $155,970.
Expensive Options and Advantages
This Corvette Z06 is equipped with the $8,995 Ultimate Performance package, which includes Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the Z07 suspension, and grippier tires. The car also has a $10,495 visible carbon fiber aerodynamic kit, adding a massive rear spoiler, front canards, and a new splitter.
Priced at just over $130,000, a well-equipped car like this is an extremely tempting offer. To get behind the wheel of a new Porsche 911 GT3 in the US, you would need to spend at least $224,495.
Compared to European competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3, which starts at $224,495, the Corvette Z06 looks like a real bargain. Even the Ford GT with its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, which sells for over $1 million, falls short of the Z06 in power, as the latter is equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8.
The drop in prices for the Corvette Z06 may be linked to the anticipation of updated 2026 models. At the same time, even with discounts, these cars remain powerful and technologically advanced, offering drivers a high level of driving excitement for relatively accessible money.
