Surprised to see this 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 unicorn pop up this afternoon on the CarMax website. I titled this “off and on” because the car does not show up on the CarMax app on my phone, and only shows up on my laptop depending on how I search for cars. Bizarre. Regardless, it’s a stunning red over black mid-engined race car that could easily be confused for a Ferrari for non-car people.
The ribbon of controls for the electronics are unlike anything I’ve seen. Unsure on the PRNDL levers below but what the hell. I like the dashboard center angled towards the driver, and love the engine bay. The car is listed at $94,998. I do not know Corvette lingo so had no idea where an “LT” model fits in against Z51, Stingrays, and Z06’s and was baffled since the 2020 Corvettes start at $60,000. The CarMax “features and specifications” page for the car is fairly boilerplate and documents normal accessories, but not Chevrolet-specific trim.
Well, between this flattering review in Automobile Magazine and doing a VIN search, I was able to see this car has the 3LT Z51 package and likely sold for it’s asking price here, plus or minus a few grand based on options I cannot see. Corvette experts probably can. I’m not an expert, but I am a fan. I’ve watched Corvettes dominate endurance racing at Le Mans and Daytona over the past decade-plus, and got to see the C8’s debut at the 2020 24 Hours of Daytona. Didn’t go great, but they are doing far better now.
This C8 is a sub-three second 0-60 mph supercar, and a bargain compared to its competition. Hard to call a $95,000 car a bargain, but you’d have to pay two or three times that for a comparable 911, Ferrari, or Lambo. And this is under manufacturer warranty, so no need for MaxCare! See, I just saved you thousands. My guess was the car is a repossession but the history report says no. And no accidents. The 2020 C8’s sold out before production began, and rumors are Chevrolet didn’t allocate the whole 40,000 production run of 2020’s that was expected. Find this sexy red car here in Hartford, Connecticut. The link may or may not work, depending on the app, the car’s availability, and Hurricane Isaias’ track? Enjoy.
Between us, there’s a new “Coming Soon” category on the CarMax website. That’s where I spotted this 
It’s not a fast car with the 300hp 4.2l V-8 with a mid-six second 0-60mph run, but it’s fast enough for motoring down the interstate. Here’s a 
This is the newest BMW Alpina B7 
Also has the full rear seat entertainment system treatment. The rocket ship is good for 194 mph, or a 0-60 mph run in 4.2 seconds if you run outta room trying for top end. Here’s the 2013 
This isn’t my normal 
There’s a whole lot to like about this 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport 
Sorry about two Range Rover posts in a row but this deja vu SUV 
Something about a Range Rover Sport HSE selling for less than $20,000 seems like a bargain. Here’s a 2010 model with 59,000 miles for only $18,998. Other than the 2009 model selling for $16,998 last fall (
This is a two-owner Texas SUV, and yes, one of those cowboys had an accident and pretty clear that contributes to the discounted price. If that doesn’t bother you, find it 
Surprised to see this 2009 Jaguar XF pop up at only $13,998. So many lesser used cars one could buy if you want to play it safe. Not that this is a high performance
