Pricing
Hello, I am looking to buy a C8 in the few days, the "Total Vehicle Price" is 95k, however the car is also a dealer demo with probably 200-600 miles. How much can I haggle off of that sticker price generally, and how much would you pay? I have not bought a new car since my Camaro SS in 2011....this process is always a little nerve racking!

The mileage has very little to do with the cost of the car. Right now dealers are discounting as much as 15%. If you get that car make certain the warranty starts at the time of purchase.

Could be had for $79290 for being a camero owner. Thats a whopping 16% off! This is a for a car that hasn't been driven and not to mention.....200-600 miles of being floored and raced like it was stolen and not properly broke in. That statement is all hypothetical, but I doubt a dealer car has been properly broke in. "Just Saying".
So for me. Dealer cars are always discounted in buyers market. So I would take another $1500 off the car from above and not offer a penny more than $77790. Car has full warranty so if you have any issues its covered. Otherwise. I would shop one of the big 4 for a car.
They are discounting thier cars

I bought my 2023 70th Anniversary Edition with 985 miles on it a couple of weeks agor for $25K under sticker and they threw in a Platinum $0 deductible 84/56 extended warranty that takes the warranty to 2031. MSRP was well over $100K though.

put the car in cargurus for an offer to buy (sell your car) and see what it would bring from a wholesale buyer. While you aren't buying wholesale its a useful data point. I bet the number will scare you....ask me how I know.

A dealer demo car??? No way unless it is at LEAST 20% off sticker. Even then maybe not.

If you like the car and can get 10-15% off that sounds like a fine deal.
There will always be a better deal somewhere for a % or so but what matters is if it it sounds good to you.
I'd start at 15% off and haggle from there (83-84k).
Or call the top dealers and see what a new '25 order built your way would cost. If its very close just do that, very good chance it will be.

Les Sandford in Dearborn, MI would sell it new, for $83,788 plus $260 doc and hand. 15% off is everyone's price as of 2 weeks ago, no special conditions. License, title, sales taxes are additional per your state, you pick it up or pay to have it shipped to you, which they will handle too.

2025 C8 Stingray of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
There is so much mileage on that demo car it's in used car territory. IMO, not something I would take on personally. You have to assume that as a demo ride, there were quite a lot of hard acceleration trials in those miles. I would be pushing for 15% off MSRP and I wouldn't even budge off that. I would use some of those savings towards a high mileage, extended warranty as piece of mind.

If you are getting actual sales slips from shopping "the big 4" and showing "15% or more" please post as well as the sales person working with. 3 of the top 5 are at 10% off MSRP and no more with varying degrees of Dealer Costs to none. Love to understand the details behind your comment.

Users on the forums have reported being able to custom order 25s at or near 15% off from the top dealers lile MacMulkin. I cant testify under oath to the accuracy but I would not doubt it considering the state of the market and lots flooded with unsold C8s, not to mention winter sales lulls and those dealers already committed to ordering 100+ C8s per month whether the demand is there or not.
