Default Want to buy/order a base C7 for MSRP or less

Hey guys I need help finding a dealer that is offering MSRP, preferably less than MSRP for non Z51 C7's. And also if I ordered out of state is it worth the shipping, and do the warranties work for chevy dealers in my area?

What are the pros and cons of ordering out of state??
thanks.

Forum dealers are offering msrp and a courtesy delivery to your local dealer should not cost anything. Warranty work should be handled by any Chevy dealer no problem.

Don't buy out-of-state because you'll want to do a full (fine tooth comb) inspection of the car before you accept delivery/pay... There are too many defects being reported by owners and out of state dealers are just forwarding the car to your dealer of choice (shipping is included in the price). I've even seen an out of state dealer forward a C7 full of defects to the owner by private transport carrier (search the forum). Have patience and shop around because some are getting the car for invoice from their in-state dealers; some $500 below invoice. Good luck and check the whole car over very very well.

And what dealers are giving such bargains, or were you confusing MSRP for invoice.

Amen to that! Just ask, you'll be surprised... there are some salespeeps who'll bat for you and plead with their GM if you're fully committed. Worked for me!

Wait for spring. MSRP discounts should begin around that time interval. Shipping cost is at least $1,000. Warranty, dealer is required by GM to work on your car, don't expect preferred service if they didn't sell it.
