I've seen a lot of them at that price. The lowest I found was one for $46,000. I just bought a C7 yesterday the was a 2lt with the Z51 package and a bunch of weird extras like the charger and car cover. The msrp was $71,000 and I was able to get it for $57,610.

Not a bad deal at all. Used 1LT's are close to that.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.
It would basically be a daily driver. In that setting is the z51 and or the magnetic ride control that big of deal

I'm honestly not sure. I really wanted the 2lt because of the heads up display. The Z51 has the better exhaust, suspension, video recorder and bigger tires too. I'm not so sure the other "toys" are needed as a daily driver but they are pretty cool.

IMHO, no. The Z51 package actually makes the car ride stiffer. My 1LT without either rides great. As my buddy Jake said above, the 1LT is a great package for the price.

The Z51 7spd I believe has a different transmission ratio's, don't know if it is a big deal or not.

Good deal and you definitely do not need the Z51 package.

IMO That is a great price since they are starting at MSRP 55400 for a 2016 1 LT. I got spoiled with the HUD so I my standard is now the 2LT. If your not going to track the car than there is probably no sense in getting the Z-51 or MRC.

We can get you a more accurate answer if we knew if it was used/new and what model year it was.

If that is a brand new car, the price is pretty good IMO.

Default 1 lt

A 1 LT Corvette is way more than a 'basic car' !!!

I purchased my C7 2014 1LT no options for a little over $49,000.I believe that's just about right.I added many after market items since.Great car for that price.
