Used Pricing
I got a 2024 mustang gt looking to trade into a c8 stingray I personally don’t have any preferences between the trims. Just wondering what’s considered a good price? I see a 2lt near me 45k miles for 56k

Under 60K is a good deal. The 2lt has a lot more options and comfort features that you will like. It will also help you with resale. I would not consider a 1lt myself. Don't be afraid to expand your search. Some times a little trip is worth it. There is some great deals out there. You can find a low mileage C8 that is three to four years old in the low 60's. Have your local GM service department run the VIN to see what type of service history the car had. Best of luck on your search!

If the trim level is not important to you (it is not important to me either, I have the 2LT and it will be 1LT if there is a next time) there are 2026 1lt's advertised for under $75k and that is prior to negotiation. I would use that as my baseline when considering what a used vehicle is worth to me.

And, a dealer can only see warranty work in the VIN search of service records, they can no longer see all dealer service records.

I'd try to find one from a private party with a transferable GM extended service plan. When you get it from a dealer they can't transfer. Then you don't have to worry about DCT issues when they're out of warranty.

Plenty of them out there...So don't buy one you can't get tranny/drive train warrantied and even if you can get extended GM you have to make sure proper GM transmission maintenance was performed and on time on the one you buy....... You don't want to be holding a 60k dollar car with a 20 dollar hole in the console...
Good luck....

Hopefully, this is still considered on-topic because OP is looking for the right C8. What is the absolutely must have, cannot live without feature of 2LT vs 1LT? Is there anything that is a consensus and not just personal preference? The only thing I might want is the front HD vision camera. I can live without the luxury features, HUD, and data recorder.

Curious, what are you driving now?

You've asked twice. I am not OP but I drive a Honda Accord V6 as a daily and I have an older GM V8 for fun. I would like to get a C8 with the LS6 next year. I would like to know what is the absolutely must have, cannot live without feature of 2LT vs 1LT. Is there anything that is a consensus and not just personal preference?

I have to think it’s all personal preference. Me? Have to have HUD. I didn’t think I’d need the front camera but use it every time I park.
I ask what people drive now to get idea of where their head is at.

Weird, I have had my 1LT car since April of 2025 (Almost 19K on it) and have zero interest in upgrading to a 2LT.
