Any dealers have a new 2013 1LT coupe priced at $35000?

Nobody is close to that number yet. Keep an eye on Les Stanford Chevrolet in Detroit (they are a forum vendor). They have 18 1LT cars in stock right now and have them priced aggressively (about $39K...if you currently own a Corvette). Every once in a while they will kick up their deals a notch or two and will offer their 1LT cars even lower.

Thanks for the heads up about Les, I may be in the market soon. One dealer just quoted me $38,900 after my loyalty rebate, I'm shooting for $39ish list less the $3000 (probably dreaming! lol). But the rep told me the loyalty rebate officially ends 7/01.

There's no guarantee the $3K Loyalty Rebate will continue, but (so far) it has always been extended. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Here's the lowest price I've ever seen advertised for a C6 1LT coupe...and it was from Les Stanford...

New 2012 Coupes for $34,999!!!

They sold all 27 of their 1LT coupes in less than 5 days with that deal.

UniqueDoug

Yep, I saw that thread. Just got off the phone with Mike Furman from Criswell and yep he confirmed the loyalty runs out today but that most likely they will extend. He also said that he doesn't expect the remaining 1LT Manual's to be around at months end. I've called Les Stanford today about 4 times and nobody is picking up in Corvette sales.

I don't know why dealers didn't stock up on 1LT base and GS cars. I've been considering a manual 1LT GS coupe in Torch Red, but there are only something like 5 left in the entire country right now...and none of them are at forum dealers. The more I look at used Z06s, the more likely I am to not purchase a new C6. There seem to be a lot of low-mile Z06s hitting the used market lately.

UniqueDoug

The dealers that have "left over" inventory at this point I'm assuming are taking a hit, no? I'd venture to say that the dealers who have zero inventory right now timed it right.

Top_Fuel

LOL...good point.

Sure wish something like Jeff hardy's site was available so you would know how many unsold cars are in inventory right now. I'll be real interested to see what (if any) incentive news there is tomorrow.

prices are dropping. Under $44000 for a new 13 grand sport.

But some people think they are still sky high from what I see people asking for 08 and 09 base models.

When you have people asking $30K for a base 2005/06... that's pretty high considering the title of this post.

Roddy1

I found a <5000 mile 08 base 30 min from me for that asking price. It's showroom new.

UniqueDoug

Ya but once all the leftover '13 Coupes on are on the street low 30's will once again be a good price for a low mileage '08+ C6.

This "influx" of high 30's brand new C6's is an anomaly, especially considering the $3000 loyalty rebate (if you own a Vette) most likely will end at month's end.

ZEEEE06

It's all speculation right now. We'll see what happens to C6 prices when the C7 hits the streets and a LOT of C6 owners dump their C6s for C7s.

The $3K Corvette Loyalty rebate is good through September 3rd. See THIS post.

The rebates for 2013s were just updated by GM starting today, and there were no increases in the previous rebate amounts. So GM must be satisfied with how the remaining cars are selling right now.

UniqueDoug

Great, I was hoping it would go away so I would stop scratching this new C6 itch.

cuspid

I got mine for $33950 with my GM card rebate in March.

Les Stanford has an advertisement running right now for a 2013 coupe for a little over $35K. But you need a "GM Employee Appreciation Certificate" to get the price this low.

This happens every time. In 2004/5 they were blowing out the C5's and Z06's and months later when the C6 came out everyone was bitching "Oh I could've bought a brand new car for that". As soon as the left overs were gone the market trended up.

Now they made plenty of 2004 Corvette's. The production on 2012/2013 base coupes is extremely low. When these cars are gone watch the market go up, happens every time. The production is so low on Corvette right now its a supply and demand. Most all dealers will stay at MSRP on 2014's. You'll have more dealers asking over MSRP then those selling at MSRP if they keep production down on the 2014's.

I know most of you don't care about options but people will drop back to a 2008/2009 3LT, Nav, Z51 or F55, NPP, Chrome Wheels, etc car with low miles instead of buying a no option 2012/2013.

The Grand Sport market is going to set the trend in the next few months for the base cars. Again production is at an all time low for 2010-2013.
