No joke guys. That is the price they are selling for. This is at Courtesy Chevrolet. From what I am told all the C7 is already sold from that dealership. They also have a red and yellow..1LT out in the back being detail and ready for someone to pick it up. I been to 3 dealership around my area and Courtesy Chevrolet is the only one in Bay Area now that have the C7 Stingray in person. Other than that..it needs to be ordered.
Boardwalk up in Palo Alto has one optioned out as a showroom floor 'look only' model, and when I stopped by there the other weekend they had two customer pick-ups on display. I've talked with reps about both Boardwalk and Dublin in person and they're very nice (Dublin reps even said "won't go over MSRP" before I even mentioned pricing). I've yet to talk to anyone at Able, but Richie is their service rep and the dealership as a whole has gotten great reviews from forum members.
I'd never give Courtesy my business, especially considering the bad rap they've gotten since they went under new management a few years back.

Highway Robbery But Some People Out There That Have money To Just Throw Away Will Buy It. They Don't Shop Around Like The Rest Of Us Blue Collar People. It Also Gives The Stealership Plenty Of Room To Play With That Insane Markup. If You Buy It For That Price Congrats On Your New Baby And For Being A Huge Sucker. Hahahaha

Talk to Tim at Boardwalk, or get in contact with someone at Able through Richie, or stop by Dublin Chevrolet.

I have good experience with Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose. I bought more than 10 (3 new for me) cars from them way below invoice and incentives, or what other dealers offered. My sales person at Courtesy Chevrolet rocks. He called me and showed the Stingray to me the first day they had it in stock. Not to sell me the car, just to show me the car as a courtesy.
Having said that, $25K over MSRP is a joke. But they have sold at that price.
Having said all, I bought my C6 from Boardward (Mr. Tim Boone, down to earth and straight forward guy) even thought I went to Courtesy Chevrolet first and they gave me the best offer they could.

Walk away from that dealership as you show them your as.My local dealers in the Tampa area that I contacted after the reveal event in January said that they were selling the car at MSRP. I ordered and then bought one at MSRP though I've been raised to never pay MSRP but the TR Z51 was just calling to me like a siren. I took delivery of it on 10/5/13 after "she" arrived at the "rock" to sing her melody to me (and the frau too-equal opportunity "wants"). It shouldn't be sold at MSRP let alone at a market adjustment price but it is a buyers marker for now. For those who are not early adapters, it should be easier to get it closer to dealer invoice as the 2015 models hit the market. Oh well, I like my over-expensive C-7 anyway compared to our two C-6s that we have had since 2008 and 2009.

Guys like us buy from forum dealers like Boardwalk, not these clowns. Someone from silicon valley who hit it big, would be a perfect chump for them to unload them on, at these outrageous markups.

That makes that dealership LOOK really bad....I am a business man and I must tell you....when you lift your skirt high enough to show the public that you are taking advantage of them due to supply and demand emotionally.....BAD move

It's a shame that a jerk off dealership like that is one of the 900 that's allowed allocation while my local dealer who is truly a stand up guy can't even get one.

Well, I'm not going to put out the dealers name so he doesn't get a ton of phone calls but here in the St. Louis area they are a little better at dealing.
This ad has ran in the weekend paper for the last 2 weeks.

I stopped by Courtesy last weekend to check out their C7s. I was surprised that they had 3 of them out front. One was red that was sold, one was black and then they had the blue car in their showroom. The blue is beautiful! When I asked what was so special about the car to have a $25k markup, he told me it was a numbered car.... I told him they are all numbered. And the sales guys said, well it was a specially numbered car from the first set of cars built. Whatever.

After how I was treated (aka, ignored) by their salesmen when I tried to talk to someone about the C7, Courtesy is never getting my business... and based on the responses from other forum member when I talked about it, sounds like they won't be getting most folks business.
Yeah, I'd never buy from this bunch. They call me when they get new ones in so I can look at the colors, but I wouldn't buy or have a car serviced there.
I went in a month ago and they had a new C7 on the lift with a guy in the corner putting the cooling rings on the car! Fools. The detail shop is a filthy mess, most of the sales people are arrogant and know little about the product they sell. I do get to go and look at colors though, so I'm glad they are there.

There are several bay area dealerships that advertise on the net which apparently have C7's in stock.
It appears that Courtesy is advertising a C7 matching the description of the aforementioned Vette in this tread;

$75,760MSRP
New 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
Laguna Blue
