Not only is it a great time to be a Corvette enthusiast, it’s also a whale of a time to be a Corvette salesman, too!
Not so much for foreign sports car salesmen, though.
Just take a look at the latest sales figures for the first quarter of 2024 to see why.
Chevy sold a total of 8,576 Corvettes in January, February, and March. Not only is that 8.5 percent higher than last year’s total of 7,904, it’s more than all the Toyota Supras, Nissan Zs, Mazda MX-5s, Subaru BRZs, Toyota GR86s, and BMW Z4s added together.
This year’s first-quarter sales were good enough to make the Corvette fourth overall – behind much cheaper cars like the Ford Mustang with 13,707 units, Dodge Challenger with 9,737, and the entire range of BMW 4-Series with 8,847.
While the Corvette was widely celebrated in 2020 when its base price was below $60,000, that figure has climbed by $10,000 through the ’24 model year. With the Average Transaction Price in the fourth quarter of 2023 climbing to more than $106,000, however, that makes the first-quarter 2024 sales even more impressive.
By the way, the recently discontinued Chevy Camaro still ranked fifth with 3,574 units – down considerably over Q1 ’23 sales of 7,780.
