No doubt about it, Chevy fans are practically falling over themselves to get their hands on the new 2020 Corvette C8. Unfortunately, production has yet to kick into high gear at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky, but that isn’t stopping one eBay seller from hawking their C8 build slot.
“The price is $110,000 firm!” writes the seller in the listing description on eBay. “I don’t have to sell it, nor do I need too [sic] for any other reason other than making a profit.”
Posted by user estate-sales-deals, the seller is in good standing with 100-percent positive feedback, so it certainly seems legitimate. That said, the pricing for this 2020 Corvette build slot is more than a little eyebrow-raising.
While it’s certainly possible to hit the $100,000 mark when optioning out the 2020 Corvette Coupe, this particular model is the 1LT trim level, which starts at $59,995. It’s also covered in Arctic White paint, a no-cost option.
That said, there are at least a few extras included here, such as the Z51 Performance Package, Competition Sport bucket seating, Carbon Flash Metallic-painted outside mirrors and a removable roof panel storage bag. The most expensive of these options are the Z51 package and seats, which tack on an additional $5,000 and $1,995, respectively. Even so, the extras only bring the price to a little under $68,000 – nowhere near the $110,000 “Buy It Now” figure.
Beyond the outrageous price tag, there are a few other issues with this listing. For example, the post is described as “1st wave early release.” However, as we’ve covered previously, production of the 2020 Corvette has been delayed as a result of the recent UAW union strike. The post also says the 2020 Corvette produces 650 horsepower, which is most likely a reference to the recent Motor Trend dyno test that sparked so much controversy.
That said, the question still remains – is it really worth it to pay $110,000 to get one of the first 2020 Corvette 1LT models? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

A fool and his money are soon parted.
The guys that paid $10,000.00 over list for a PT cruiser or the new T bird lost their shirt. When will they learn?
You have to be an idiot to fall for this offer! Probably before you know it they will be offering discounts off the msrp! Or at least you will be able to order one the way you want it. Patience is all you need.
Availability might be part of the equation ???
If you want to spend $110K, wait awhile and buy the $110 version.
Or wait awhile and get it for $68k.
And we all know how General Motors and brand new models work out. Just waiting for the first recalls to be announced. For that amount of money you could buy an NSX.
Dumb move for anyone nibbling at the offer!
1LT who would want that.
Put the pole in the water, and you’re bound to catch something.
There’s always a fish with more cash than brains.
Duuh ! no public available 2020 Corvettes will be built until February2020; but rush to spend $110K now????? I think not!
I certainly have no problem just offering up my remaining order slots for free if you contact me at [email protected]. I am a dealer on the east coast, but you can always ship it. Build it the way you want it equipped.
There are plenty of dealers who still have order slots open, I know we do. I can’t believe anyone would fall for that lol. Least anyone would need to do is contact a few dealers and find out who can still build them one.
With the strike last year and the virus this year the 2020 models will be in limited supply.
In the future they will be sought after. These are not PT Cruisers or T Birds.
