Head to head
Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)
A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the Bentley Continental GT ($229,996) faces the Chevrolet Corvette STANDARD 1LT ($65,900); the most common trims on the market are the GT (65.5% of Bentley Continental listings) and the PREFERRED 2LT (25.3% of Chevrolet Corvette listings); at the top of the market, the GT SPEED ($286,947) faces the Z06 PREMIUM 3LZ ($124,393). Share = portion of the model's trim-labeled used listings (a supply-side popularity signal: what the market actually stocks and sells most). “Cheapest”/“Priciest” mark the ends of the quotable trim range — trim ladders don't map one-to-one across brands, so this is not a factory base-model claim.
