Do tell I bought my (used) C6Z06 from them and am in the market for a shark grey 2015. If they are accepting supplier that would be a lot closer than some other dealers I was considering ordering from.

Here is the link to Classic's 2014 discounts-

I've been working with Craig Kabzinski (New Vehicle Sales Manager) over the phone to arrange courtesy delivery - which is a new thing for Lone Star. He told me last week (Thursday, Friday?) they're honoring GSU on 15's now. I stopped by Saturday to meet him in person, but talked to Johnnie Smith (GM) instead - who confirmed what Craig told me.

Good luck,

Troy Hood

Thank you. I sent Johnnie an email directly so hopefully I will have an answer soon. What color/options did you go with??

I went for the 3LT Z51 Coupe, white with red interior & calipers. It's finished with black ears, tail, logos & sneakers. I had to get the magnetic suspension, but bypassed most of the cosmetic touches in favor of the monochrome look.




(Not my car, but it's a close match)

Very cool!

I drove a couple of c7s in March at the dealer in Pearland. They had $$$$ of markup on all the c7s there. No way!

I ordered mine from a forum dealer, then found another dealer closer who honored the supplier (and employee) discounts and bought there instead.

A dealer in the DFW area had the exact car I wanted but refused to budge off MSRP. This was all in March.

At this time of year, I can't believe any of them are still trying to pull that on the 14s.

I too thought I was getting a C7 at Employee pricing from Munday. When it arrived they cleverly declined to make the sale at the discount, but they said I could have done it at MSRP. Unfortunately, I did not have it in writing because I did not think it was necessary. My bad!

I got my deposit back and will never darken the doors of Munday again even though I drive by there every day. And I'm also in the market for another Chevrolet as well, but it won't come from Munday. I'll drive much farther, do two deals, and be much happier.

I tried unsuccessfully for months to work out anything with any Houston dealers, and also had no luck with a few DFW dealers. Ended up buying mine in Mexia, of all places. Check them out.

Hey for what its worth Craig is a cool guy, I bought my C7 from him too.

Same thing they did with me... New GM excuse.... I tried several times to reach their GM but he would never respond so I finally filed a complaint with BBB and input my experience to dealerrater.com with cut & paste of all emails with them that clearly showed they promised (multiple times) to honor the supplier pricing program.

Don't think having it in writing would have helped much. I had it in writing from them multiple times but after I ordered they called to say they would no longer honor it but would do MSRP pricing (new GM excuse). I cancelled right then. At least with me they called before the car was actually delivered.

Would this (http://www.lovemycreditunion.org/Home-119.html) be where I would join the credit union?

I'm not this close to buying a car that I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and do battle with the Chevy people.

One thing I did learn through this thread is how easy it seems to have a local dealer do the prep and stuff when buying out of state. No arguing and wheeling and dealing. Just pay them $300 and take delivery.

I don't think so - that appears to be a credit union promotion site. You probably can get signed up to a credit union there, but there's no guarantee that the credit union you choose is currently participating in the GM discount program.

I'd recommend first going to the site I mentioned earlier (mygmdiscount.com) & starting the signup process. During the signup process, you get a list of participating institutions. Once you get the list, you can abandon the signup process for now.

(For what it's worth, I've used San Antonio Federal Credit Union in the past & they're easy enough to work with.)



Once you pick a likely candidate for your credit union, work with them separately to open an account and get their GM discount program member number. After you get this number, you can finish your mygmdiscount.com signup.

After signup, you can apply for a discount authorization code. I was allowed 2 codes per year & each code was valid for 6 months after its issue date. You can configure your car just as you want & see the price complete with GSU discount.

Hope this helps...

I've learned a whole lot and appreciate all of the replies.

The dealer I used is doing employee and supplier price on the 2015 and isn't nearly as far as some of the others mentioned here. I personally like picking up and driving home.

Will PM you their info.

Sounds like you been to Strickland Chevy in Pearland, I was very disappointed on there prices and line of BS, I ordered mind through Robbins chevy in Humble tx, paid MSRP and didn't take too long to get it.

He was just telling you that, Knapp Chevy Downtown might shoot you straight.

Yesterday I did some out of the box thinking.

To explain why..........a couple of months ago my wife decided she wanted a 4 door car for around town stuff. Even though there isn't any kids or grandkids just her and I, she always wants a 4 door car. We couldn't decide between a Chevy SS or a Dodge Charger SRT, however the deciding factor was that the Chevy SS looked like any other Impala/Malibu, but the Charger SRT stood out. I did a bit of searching and since she really wanted the Plum Crazy model, this was extra hard to find as only the very top of the line version or the Super Bee came in that color. I found a 2014 Super Bee in Plum Crazy at Texas Direct Auto that was totally loaded out with everything but navigation, and it had the window sticker in the car. The window sticker was $48,000, however we bought the car for $38,300.......and the car had <2,000 miles on it and still had the new car smell. I felt this was a great buy.

So, having made a great buy at TDA for the Charger SRT, I thought maybe I could find a very low mileage C7 for a steal. This was not to be. While the Dodge was greatly marked down, the price of the C7 Vettes were very close to buying a brand new one at MSRP.

Now before anybody slaps my hand and tells me a C7 isn't a Dodge, we don't need to dumb it down to that level. My thought was that I had one great buy on an almost brand new car, so the 50 mile round trip to TDA to hear the negative news was OK. It wasn't a great loss. However we did get to take our time and check out all the bells and whistles in the car and check it out from top to bottom. I guess I always feel rushed or intimidated at a new car dealer unless I'm at least 90% sure I'm buying or ordering a car from them.

Tomorrow we're going by to talk to JoeClassic about his pricing and see what he has to offer. Here is his ad, and even if we don't make a deal, there is a good chance he can be my Houston area 'go to' guy. I do know a few years back both Classic in Sugarland and Landmark in North Houston closed down and had terrible reputations, however I haven't seen any negativity against the new ownership, so I'll forgive and forget the bad news from a few years ago and see what they have to offer.

Somebody mentioned Robbins up in Humble, however last Saturday when I went by there, I was treated in a very rude manner. Also, this is something that may not concern others, they only had two handicapped parking spots, and they were using them for new car/truck delivery. Something about that (lack of respect or compassion for those who need those parking spots) plus the rude manner in which I was treated..........I won't go back.

Have you considered the Dodge Challenger with the Hellcat V8 that produces 707 hp? It might be a nice change from the same Corvette deal this time around? They're only $59K new.
