The 2022 Chevy Corvette was among the top ten fastest-selling vehicles in January 2022, according to a recent study conducted by market research firm iSeeCars.
The mid-engine sports car spent an average of 17.4 days on dealer lots before finding a buyer in January, making it the sixth fastest-selling vehicle for the month. The fastest-selling vehicle overall was the Kia Telluride, which spent an average of 12.8 days on the lot before being sold. The Toyota Corolla was second (15.5 days) followed by the Toyota Sienna (16.5 days), Acura MDX (16.7 days) and Toyota Ford Maverick (16.8 days).
Demand for the C8 Corvette Stingray has been extremely high following its introduction for the 2020 model year. Lower than usual production output at the GM Bowling Green Assembly plant in Kentucky has compounded with high demand to make the vehicle very hard to come by. For this reason, the Chevy Corvette managed to remain in the top ten of the fastest-selling vehicles in the winter month of January, when sports cars typically sell a bit slower.
While the Chevy Corvette is selling a bit more slowly now than it did last summer, for example, it remained the most expensive vehicle in the list of the top ten fastest-selling nameplates. The average transaction price for the mid-engine sports car last month stood at a very high $98,597. The next most expensive vehicle in the top ten was the Lexus GX 460, which sold for an average of $61,986.
Production of the 2022 Chevy Corvette Stingray began at the GM Bowling Green Assembly plant around September 6th, 2021. Pricing for the 2022 Corvette Coupe in the base 1LT trim level starts at $62,195 including destination and freight charges, while the Convertible starts at $69,695 with DFC.

Ah yes, the Toyota Ford Maverick.
And GM Missmanagment will learn nothing from this. I STILL wonder how this wonderful car escaped the soulless cost cutters that thrive at GM like out of control bacteria. Something went terribly wrong, a breakdown of the long entrenched zealously practiced religion of GOOD ENOUGH that is the character of GM masterminds. They will learn nothing from this WONDERFUL failure.
How can the C-8 Corvette spend 17 days on a dealer’s lot, when everything coming into the dealership is sold? Are they counting the days from the time the car is built till it gets to the dealership? That would include Testing the car at the factory waiting to be transported and transported to the dealership?
Do you think it is possible they are counting “Over Priced Used C8 Corvette’s” sitting on the lot? Curious how many of these have mileage and a huge Price Tags? Just a thought……..
Used or not, you can expect huge price tags. MSRP means nothing anymore. Why even have it.
#1 is a Mommy mobile and number 2 is a bland econobox. I can understand the Corolla in short supply since Toyota is prioritizing chips for higher margin SUV’s/Trucks. But I would think the Telluride would have better supply since it is likely one of Hyundai’s highest margin vehicles.
And this is why I laugh when people bad mouth the C8.
On that list the C8 Corvette is double and in many cases triple the selling price of 98% the other vehicles. Can not seem to locate the list but think there was a Beemer that went in the mid – $50’s and the C8 was somewhere near $97,000 +/-. it’s beating out most of the “Econoclass”, AKA “Soccer Mom Minivan’s”, funny how that works out. I’ll stick with my C8, Thank You 😁🙏
Bla,bla,bla, the vette is bad mofukin ass. Hands down.
I waited 21 months for my C8. It is the best Corvette I have owned.
I agree that the 17.4 days of inventory is BS. There are no new Corvettes in inventory anywhere.
