Turning Down $101,000 Backfired Badly For This Corvette E-Ray Seller
A pristine all-wheel drive performance coupe just sold for far less than expected
The latest 2026 Corvette lineup has shifted the pecking order with the debut of the ZR1 and ZR1X, pushing the once-top-tier C8 Z06 down the ladder.
This change has sent used Z06 prices into a steep decline, and the drop hasn’t stopped there.
As it turns out, prices of the Corvette E-Ray are also falling, making it an even more tempting proposition than the Z06.
The E-Ray you’re looking at is just about as pristine as they come.
It is a 2024 model painted in Arctic White and was listed for auction through Bring a Trailer last month.
Despite being a well-equipped 3LZ model and carrying an original price tag of $118,935, it traded hands for just $89,000.
To rub salt into the wounds of the seller, they could have sold it for much more just four weeks prior.
In June, the very same E-Ray was listed through BaT, but failed to hit the seller’s reserve, despite bidding on it reaching $101,500.
By waiting a month, likely hoping the car would sell for more on the second try, the seller ended up losing an extra $12,500
But overall bought new in 2024 for $118K and sold for 89K is a $30,000 loss
