For sale is my 2014 Laguna Blue C7 Stingray as follows:
Options:
1LT
LB color
Automatic
Performance (NPP) Exhaust
Additions:
20% tint
Smoked side/rear markers
Gloss black powdercoated wheels
White LED tag lights
Jacking pucks
This car was ordered in December through Rick Conti and arrived in March. VIN# 16,429
Mileage: 3,700
Old MSRP 55,535, currently close to 59,000
Price: $50,000 firm
This car is as clean as the day she arrived and has not been driven hard or raced. I really don't want to sell, I only got in a little over my head with this purchase and could use the freed up funds. I however am in no hurry to sell.
Supplier price for a brand new 2015 equipped this way is $54,215.80. List is $59,405.
(1LT, auto, performance exhaust, black wheels, Laguna Blue.)
Best wishes to OP, but I've got my doubts he'll get $54K for a 2014 used C7 with this equipment.
The OP need not assume every prospective buyer will/can use Supplier discount. It is incorrect for the OP to assume every buyer will be making a decision on buying his car or buying a new 2015 at Supplier pricing. At the other end of the price range, there are still some dealers in some parts of the US that are asking MSRP for 2015s and don't accept Supplier pricing.
His asking price is reasonable, given all the circumstances.

I have not had any local dealers that want to talk about ordering a corvette once Supplier Pricing is mentioned.. I know some forum dealers accept it.. Some people don't want to deal with buying out of state, I, myself like to sit down and talk in person to who I'm giving a big check to. In reality Supplier Pricing is taboo subject matter that alot of members toss around like it's so easy take advantage of when in fact dealers want no part of it.. It just drives home (no pun intended) that the best route to save money and get in your vette Quickly is a gently used C7.. It will beat supplier pricing and you don't have to feel shamed by greedy dealers.

Looks like a 2015 w/Nav-recorder/LB (invoice-54k / book-59K) Brand new
At $1000 over invoice that's $55,000 + tax + dealer fees = $59,000 +/- for the brand new 2015. The tax widens the gap in price between new and used in states where there is no tax on a private party sale.
Buyers will take this into consideration when comparing new to used.

WOW! I didn't know that there were any states that don't charge sales tax on private sales. I should move to one of them! In Illinois, it is the same rate as the dealer.

Maybe true Red but we get to write sales tax off on our tax returns which, at least in my case, recovers a great portion of it.

Why do people always have to scrutinize someones pricing? If you dont want it at the price....dont buy it and move on. If youre interested at the asking price move forward with the seller. If neither, why is there a need to type what you consider is reasonable. Its his car and he can sell it and ask for whatever he wants!
