Default $1,000 Chevy Private Offer Voucher...

...just popped up as I was cruising through the Corvette pages of the Chevy website.

It's for a 2013 model for any Chevy vehicle.

If someone wants it, PM me right now with your name and address and email and model configuration, and I'll fill it out for you.

It's 10.26 PM right now. Don't know how long the voucher will stay up on my screen.

Received one last month and was able to use it for my 1st Corvette purchase. Although there is a "use by date" there is some flexibility depending on the dealer.

Gimmick marketing... You can get the car at the same price with or without a "coupon". The so called incentives are simply a marketing gimmick that obviously works very well.

The dealer still has the same bottom line and the incenetive just gets you into the dealership and changes the starting price at negotiations, but the botom line will not change.

The bottom line is incentives are basically smoke and mirrors and you are not going to save an additional 1K on the deal.

Disagree....made the deal without mentioning the voucher. Once all was agreed I gave them the voucher and they deducted the 1000.00 from the final negotiated price.

Depends on how you buy the car. When buying my daily car a few years ago, managed to get employee pricing on it. Dealer also gave me the $2000 rebate offer, and $1000 loyalty discount for having the Vette. Really nothing anyone could do on pricing, as all of this was fixed.

How do you get one? I keep pressing the refresh button on the build corvette site and nothing so far. I'm picking mine up at the end of the month. Ideas?

I was building a vette just for grins and when I selected the 2012 tab near the top left of the browser window, the offer popped up.

I've been trying again off and on just to see if it will do it again,and it hasn't since the other night.

they are very random, and you don't have to build a vette to get one. the voucher will work for ANY Chevy model.

If memory serves a dealership was in the news for keeping the money that was suposed to go to the customers.

Like another guy said, if you are going to use the rebtes/incentives then you are better off not mentioning anything about them until you have a price already agreed on. Then slip them to the business mgr at check out.

The botom line is get them, but do not walk into a dealership waiving the paperwork telling them you're here to buy a Corvette. Determine what you are willing to pay, not factoring in the rebate and that is the price you should buy the car for. Then you pull out your rebate or incnetive and kindly ask them if you will get that in a check or will they subtract the amount from the sales price?

My original point was that these "coupons" are often used to the dealers advantge and to unskilled buyers they will believe things like, "oh that rebates not good on the car you want because it's the only one we have left that is the color you want" ect.
