Corvette Buyers Guide 2023: A Corvette for (Almost) Every Budget

Corvettes for $10K to $20K

If you can stretch your budget to $20K, a LOT more options open up to you. You can of course get nicer versions of the cars we listed in the under $10K category. But on top of that, you will be able to find newer and higher-performing Corvettes.

2005 – 2008 C6 Corvette

Believe it or not, you can score a C6 Corvette for less than 20 grand. These cars will likely have 100K+ miles on them.  But they are presentable drivers that you should be able to enjoy for years to come. A 400-horsepower V8 Corvette with a manual transmission for less than $20K is a tough deal to pass up.

Any Year C5 Corvette

In this price range you can land just about any C5 you want. We saw plenty of standard C5 Corvettes listed for sale with less than 30,000 miles on them for less that $20K. These cars are basically still new. We even saw a few C5 Z06 Corvettes for sale in this price bracket.
