Gateway Chevrolet in Avondale, AZ Marks Up C8 Corvette $50k

Check out this video we found on YouTube where a Chevrolet Dealer has a C8 Corvette marked up $50,000 for sale.

The dealer is Gateway Chevrolet in Avondale, Arizona just outside of Downtown Phoenix to the west of Phoenix, AZ

This is the highest C8 Corvette mark up we have seen so far. When they first started hitting Chevy Dealership lots they were being marked up $2k, $5k, $10k, $20k and even $30k but $50k takes the cake.

Top 5 Features of the C8 Corvette

Recently YouTuber GabeRolfCars on YouTube highlighted the the top five design flaws he has noticed since having his C8 Corvette for over 25,000 miles.

Here are the Top 5 Features and things he does like about the Corvette C8

  1. The video rear view camera
  2. The video cameras for backing up and pulling forward and not curbing your front splitter
  3. The marketplace to order food or pay for gas
  4. You can turn off all interior lighting with the dimmer switch
  5. The Bose sound system

One thing he mentions is this video is probably more about convincing you to purchase  2LT or 3LT since a lot of the things he loves about the C8 Corvette are not available for a 1LT Corvette.

How to Add Two More Quarts of DCT (Transmission) Fluid on the C8 Corvette

Check out this video from WRPDrive on YouTube where he adds 2 more quarts of DCT fluid to his C8 Corvette with the 13 degree method jacking the car up.

It does look higher than the 13 degrees (1 and half feet) and they had to jack it up pretty high so the transmission fluid wouldn’t leak. This is suppose to help reduce C8 Corvette transmission issues and for track use.

C8 Corvette gets 2 Liters of DCT fluid added through the side filler plug

This is the easier way of adding the 2 liters of DCT fluid. The side filler plug is easier accessed rather than taking out the airbox to access the top plug. Be careful not to drop the 17mm aluminum plug in the skid plating, it will be hard to find.

Top 5 Design Flaws of the C8 Corvette I’ve Discovered After 25K Miles

Check out this video review of the top five design flaws of the C8 Corvette by Gabe Rolf Cars on YouTube.

Recently we have been covering his transmission that needed to replaced on his Corvette C8 as well as is AC fixed.

  1. Front bumper and no mesh protecting the front radiators
  2. The wheel gap and more importantly the offset of the factory wheels
  3. When you wash the car the engine bay gets dusty and water spots because of the engine hatch openings to let heat out
  4. Inside of the transmission gets dirty because of the new DCT design and transmission filters needing to be changed often as well as not adding the 2 quarts of transmission fluid
  5. He doesn’t like how tall the center console is

As he mentions there are a lot of aftermarket C8 Corvette parts or items you can use to fix these issues other than the transmission and the console.

You can use beadmaker to coat the engine bay after every way to eliminate water spots or it getting so dirty. Also, you can buy aftermarket mesh grill inserts for the front bumper area to protect the radiators although GM doesn’t recommend it.

Lately C8 Corvette owners have also been adding two quarts of transmission fluid as well as changing the transmission filters more often to eliminate any future transmission problems. His C8 Corvette had over 20,000 miles before it had transmission issues.

The wheel gap and stock oem wheel problem can be fixed with aftermarket wheels with the right offset or adding spacers like the ones Paragon Performance uses if you wanted to keep the stock C8 Corvette wheels.
