The $3,000 Corvette discount is a rarity, as Chevrolet seldom offers actual cash on the sports car. In fact, the offer is not advertised through official means, but was communicated to dealers – according to CarsDirect. We believe that the purpose of the offer is to drum up consideration and interest in the current Corvette C7 among current Corvette owners before the all-new, mid-engine Corvette (aka the Corvette C8) launches later this year.
