A 2025 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT awarded through a charity raffle is already back on the market after its new owner decided the high-performance coupe wasn’t a long-term fit. The winner, who received the car through the Rotary Club of Tucson’s 2025 Car Show raffle, put about 1,500 miles on the Corvette before listing it for sale online.
The raffle offered a cash alternative, but the Arizona winner opted for the sports car instead. After just a month of driving, he determined that the Stingray didn’t suit his needs, prompting the decision to move on from the Torch Red coupe. The listing notes 1,487 miles on the odometer, a mileage figure that usually reflects the early break-in period rather than a full ownership cycle.
The 2025 Stingray 1LT is equipped with a naturally aspirated, mid-mounted V-8 producing 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. That output allows for a 0–60 mph sprint of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph, performance numbers that place the entry-level Corvette firmly among modern sports cars. The car rides on staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels and features a Jet Black interior with power-adjustable GT bucket seats.
Additional amenities include a 10-speaker Bose audio system, adding comfort to an otherwise performance-focused cabin. The seller notes that the vehicle has a clean history, backed by an accident-free Carfax report with consistent mileage. No service has been required since delivery, and the car comes with two keys and its original window sticker. That sticker reflects an initial purchase price of $69,995.
The Corvette is currently listed on Cars & Bids, where the auction remains active with nearly a week left before closing. For buyers seeking a lightly driven, nearly new C8 Stingray, the listing represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern performance car with minimal use and documented provenance.
