Costco members can now take advantage of exclusive discounts on the C8 Corvette Stingray and C8 Corvette E-Ray as part of the Costco Auto Program. The limited-time incentive offers up to $3,000 in savings for eligible members on the purchase of a new 2024 or 2025 C8 Stingray or E-Ray. What’s more, the rebate can be had in addition to other GM incentives, allowing Costco members to combine savings for an even better deal.
The discount amount varies by membership tier. Gold Star and Business Members receive $2,750 off a new 2024 or 2025 Stingray or E-Ray, while Executive Members get a higher incentive of $3,000 off the purchase of a new 2024 or 2025 Stingray or E-Ray. The offer is available to members as of February 23rd, 2025, and customers must take delivery by the end of April, 2025.
To redeem the discount, Costco members must first visit CostcoAuto.com and register for the promotion. Members will then receive a certificate and promo code, which can be presented at a participating Chevy dealership when purchasing a new C8 Stingray or E-Ray.
In addition to the C8 Corvette, Costco is also offering incentives on several GM electric vehicles (EVs), such as the Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Chevy Blazer EV, Chevy Equinox EV, and GMC Hummer EV, as well as the Chevy BrightDrop 400 and 600.
As a reminder, the C8 Corvette Stingray features the naturally aspirated 6.2L LT2 V8, which is rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, sending the mid-engine sports car from a standstill to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds with the optional Z51 Performance Package equipped. Meanwhile, the Corvette E-Ray runs the 6.2L LT2 V8 and a front-mounted electric motor, the combination of which is good for 655 horsepower and all-wheel-drive grip, sending the E-Ray from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
All C8 Corvette variants ride on the GM Y2 platform, with production taking place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

But you have to buy a case of them….
ERAY is overpriced worse than a Ford Bronco so no thanks.
I’d LOVE an E-Ray drivetrain in a Camaro package.
Looks like the hype has died for their “supercar”. No one has 60k to dump into a C8. As good as they are and honestly affordable they are for what you get 60k is hard ask for a weekend car.
Camaro makes sense, GM, affordable performance with a V8 and manual transmission.
I haven’t looked, can you actually buy a new C8 for $60-70k now? I know for a long time, every Boomer here was shoveling out 6 figures for base C8s.
The pricing for the corvette has remained relatively stable when you account for inflation. As you can see below, the corvette has been about the same in terms of cost to the customer since the C3 generation ended in 1982, over 40 years ago.
Year / Base Price / Adj. for inflation
2025 / $69,995 / $69,995
2020 / $59,995 / $73,879
2015 / $53,995 / $73,394
2006 / $44,490 / $71,272
2001 / $40,475 / $73,431
1990 / $32,479 / $80,986
1980 / $13,000 / $53,081
1970 / $5,192 / $43,634
1962 / $4,038 / $42,759
The C8 Corvette has been quite profitable for GM. The last generation Camaro was a financial disaster for GM. I don’t understand why so many folks on this board think GM should be running a non-profit.
Was not a financial disaster at all. Alpha was a very profitable platform. It was a management disaster though. 2019 Refresh was ugly. After 2020 GM wouldnt build them.
Alpha had a well documented cost problem that was never solved, google AI overview below:
“The GM Alpha platform, while praised for its performance and handling, has faced cost issues primarily due to its design complexity, which requires specialized components and manufacturing processes to achieve its desired driving dynamics, often leading to higher production costs compared to simpler platforms, particularly when trying to produce affordable base models of cars built on it”
A non-profit? Like the EV scam where they have lost BILLIONS even with inflated pricing, free govt money, tax breaks, bank loan breaks for pushing ESG BS, and govt incentives to buyers?
Uh, good luck in even FINDING a 2025 eRay in order to “take delivery” by the required April 30, 2025. This may as well read April 1st, fools!
Well, there’s 33 available within 200 miles of the Houston market…luck isn’t needed
I will be interested in a 100% electric Corvette with AWD and 1000hp
Won’t make much of a difference. A glut of unsold C8s exists. Believe it.
