Across 1,222 listed Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays nationwide, the average markup is +$345 vs MSRP and 90% are listed at or below sticker, with a median advertised price of $93,328. Updated daily.
The C8 Corvette Stingray — the mid-engine, 6.2L V8 (495 horsepower) sports car that redefined the nameplate — has finally come back to earth on price. The $20,000-to-$30,000 dealer markups of the 2020-2022 launch years are gone; today the median Stingray in our data lists right at MSRP, and roughly seven in eight sit at or below it.
Trims. The ladder is simple: 1LT (base), 2LT (the volume trim, adding the tech and comfort equipment most buyers want), and 3LT (loaded). Coupe and convertible share the lineup. The higher-performance Z06, E-Ray (hybrid all-wheel drive), and ZR1 are tracked as separate models on this site and price in a different league entirely.
A handful of marked-up cars remain — which nudges the average slightly positive — but the era of paying over sticker for a base Corvette is over. The best pricing turns up in Ohio and Texas; Texas, California, and Florida carry the deepest inventory. For a buyer who waited out the markup years, the Stingray is now buyable at or near MSRP, with genuine below-sticker deals available if you're willing to look across state lines.
