Current Ask
$91,999

This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 is especially compelling for one simple reason: it shows just 790 miles. That exceptionally low mileage is paired with one of the strongest early-C8 configurations, combining Blade Silver Metallic paint, an Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Engine Appearance Package. Carbon Flash Metallic full-length dual racing stripes and bright red brake calipers add even more visual impact, making this a highly optioned and remarkably low-mile example of the first model year for the mid-engine Corvette.
