I”m in CO but dealer in MI is offering a 36 month lease on a 2026 Corvette 1LT. 0 down and $900 / month. Seems to me like a good deal. Would have preferred to lease it in CO but not seeing anything close to that price. Any insight here on these base Corvettes?

Thanks in advance!

Need more details, there are a ton of C8’s in inventory

I am just after a bog standard 1LT. Don’t really care about the color. The one I’m looking at has no options.

If you’re asking for quotes you’re doing it all wrong. Make offers based off of qualified incentives and targeted discount.

You’d be better off buying it and selling it at the end of 36 months. There’s no way you’ll lose $32,400 over 3 years on a plain Jane 1LT C8.

This is 100% the right answer. Buy one with a hefty discount from one of the large dealers (MacMulkin, etc.) and then sell it in 3 years.

Depends on what the mf is. You can always exit the lease early if the numbers make sense.

Not a bad idea actually, i’ll look into that.

From what I’ve seen, the Corvettes lease poorly relative to purchases

I believe the following rates are the same from last month when I was looking. USB, I know…I know…but I would only do 2yrs bc I can’t keep anything long enough and USB sucks and doesn’t allow transfers/3rd party buyouts.

However, I’m waiting until next month and hoping Costco incentives return like last year lol. The most I got off last month was $11k, but I was negotiating for $14k lol to get to my goal and the price I was willing to pay in order to listen to my wife complain for the next 24/months on what I dbag I am!!

And you’re sure you want a 1LT? No blind spot monitoring , front camera, base audio. Most people want 2LT .

As said above cheaper to buy than lease, should push for heavy discount with new models getting new motor and grand sport stealing some demand from the base for a while.

Yes because I have a little fleet of cars so I wouldn’t drive it much. Probably just weekends running up mountain passes so don’t need those daily comforts.
