Who will buy at MSRP?

Hi. I'm new here. Typically, how long after the first batch of arrivals hit the dealership until you start seeing discounts off MSRP (without having "connections" to the dealership).
Is there a possibility the 2015 model may get a power increase? I know GM did that in 2001/2002 with the Z06 but doing that with the C7 would **** off the new blood they're trying to pull in with the C7 (like me).
Also, what you consider a decent price/discount when the cars hit the showroom vs. in 6 months vs. in a 1 year?

I agree with Paul's comment that Tadge stated ".. if you can afford a 2013 C6, you will be able to afford a 2014 C7." A "nicely loaded" 2013 2LT with Crystal Red Tintcoat paint, wheel upgrade, AT, MRC, red calipers and dual mode exhaust has an MSRP of $59,000. There is little reason to believe the C7 will be dramatically higher.
I guess you may be defining 'nicely loaded' as actually being 'fully loaded to the nines', but us common folk wouldn't think that way.
And now I see you have edited to bump the model to a 2013 GS. There ain't one of them yet in the C7.

Tadge was referring too? Bet it was a GS, (it would be logical, no?). Chevy doesn't sell many base coupes. And a C7 2LT has way more standard equipment (except NAV) than C6 2LT. And, I didn't mention All the "available" options for the C7, I left many out. Look it up. Even NAV for 14' is NOT standard according to GM's material. Since you don't have two different models to choose from in 14' The C7 model referenced, I'm convinced will be 70k. Factor in the HUGE discounts you'll get on 13' leftovers compared to close to MSRP you'll pay for the C7. I think Tadge forgot to factor in THAT 15k "real world" difference when he made his comaprison, but we shall see

I would like to have one but will not get gouged on price in the first year. Considering there will most likely be changes in the second year that marketing is keeping in their back pocket I may consider the 2015 but only if the dealers get reasonable on price.

Maybe a 1LT. There are a huge amount of "available" options for the C7. Seems like NAV is an option also. That and the optional 6-sp auto which the majority of buyers want, and you can see how fast the price can jump. I figure for the first year, there will be a "real world" difference of about 15k between a leftover 13'GS and comparable 14'. Maybe a 20k difference between a BASE 13' and a 14'.

I am thinking that the large forum dealers will be discounting. Most of their sales come from people buying out of their area/state. If a person can buy locally at the msrp (all though many local dealers will add markup), the forum dealers will have to do better to sell all their cars.
This will also be a way to find which of my local dealers are price gougers that I will avoid for anything in the future.

I'll probably wait it out for a couple of years. Base coupes work fine for me. I like to mod to my own tastes.

I would gladly pay MSRP if I had a crystal ball that I could sell it in a year for minimal loss like the intro C5's were. But at 6% tax on 65k there would be no way to not lose cash first year. You tax free state guys have it made!

The C5s were hot for a long time. I remember a dealer getting close to sticker for a used, two-year-old, C5 in the summer of 2000.
Those days are over.

I am hoping for 52k MSRP for a base model and around 48k for invoice.
I'll buy one when they sell for invoice minus 3k and allow 1k in gmcard money. That puts me at 44k. That will realistically take at least two years.
For now, the new 2013s have 3K in GMCard available, a 3K owner loyalty, and 2k in rebates putting them at 8k under the dealer's best price if you qualify. So I might end up buying another C6 to wait it out.

This is a screen shot from Motor Trend magazine's website.
According to their "inside" information, the base starting price will be approx. $59,000.

Paid MSRP when the C6 came out in late 2004. Will not do that with the C7. That's why I took advantage of the deals on 2013's. In a couple of years when the prices are reasonable, I hope to make the jump.
