Default Should I wait to order?

I really want to get one!!!!
But my max budget is 47K(32000 for my CLA + 15,000).

1. If I wait a year to order, will GM give more discout on their Supplier discount?

2. Is it posible to combine GMS discount with Credit Union Discount?

thank you!

1. No. Supplier Discount will experience increases as GM increases the MSRP


2. No. Those discounts cannot be combined.

Harsh, but I guess I have to accept reality.

Thanks!

If your budget is really fixed, consider a gently used C7.

So I guess it's impossible to get a new one with 47K?

I see no way you can get a new one for 47k.

Afraid so. Supplier price on a 1LT Coupe with NO options is $50,335.00.

Even Employee price is $48,369.40 for the cheapest one you can get (1LT Coupe, no options).

Thanks for the info.
So if my friend at GM buys one with Employee price and hand it to me as a "gift". Would it work?

That could cause your friend to lose their Employee Discount privileges or even their job:

If purchasing or leasing a vehicle under
The Program with cash or through a loan,
ownership must be retained for
at least six (6) months from the date
of delivery of the vehicle.
Violations of these Rules and Guidelines,
including violation of retention periods or
titling violations by any sponsored purchaser,
will result in sanctions against the
Participant. Sanctions may include, but are
not limited to, the loss of privileges (two [2]
years per violation), repayment of monies
and/or employment action up to and
including termination of employment. In
addition, legal action may be commenced
for any rule violation.

See Kerbeck has one for $51,000 with only black wheel option ($4100 off) and they say they accept Employee and Supplier pricing! Bigger discounts on more heavily optioned 2015's. Not sure what the bottom line is but sure worth a call. Bought my '08 from them. Was offered 50% off on a large option at the time, no one else could come close. Also my car had to be ordered (yellow coupe, standard trans, 3LT, Z51, grey wheels, NPP) and they could guarantee 2 weeks for a build since they had one on order that could be changed. That was in late ’07 when ordring the '08. Great to do business with them! Appears to me they live with the GM constraints and get what they can. They may get a deal on options that are not moving! There is a reason they were number one. Had to drive it 1000 miles home but no big deal. Could not get a local dealer to accept Courtesy delivery. For what it's worth.

I'll be gentler than I was to the last guy who phrased a question like this. If you're squeezing to get into the base, no-options car, you may not be in a position to own this car.

Have you factored in taxes, loan fees, insurance, maintainence, gas, etc? Also, is the CLA you mentioned a car (Mercedes)? Do you need to sell that at 32k privately or are you valuing that as a trade-in?

I did factor in everything. I could go ahead and finance the car, but I just want to pay all at once and don't have to worry about it no more.
And my value of CLA is based on KBB.

If you are worried about financing another 10 or 15K you must not want a vette that bad. Interest rates are at all time lows. These interest rates are like stealing. I was going to pay cash, then financed and put the money in the stock market. I'm paying 2% at a credit union and made over 30% in the market so far.
