I take nothing away from MacMulkin Chevrolet....By all accounts a great dealership and a forum sponsor....BUT....This tells me that Corvettes aren't selling as well as expected....

Le Mans Master
$60-80+K sports car where there is a lot of competition (including the base Corvette that is $10K+ cheaper)
This is the fourth model year of the C7 and, like any car, most of the people who wanted one bought one by now and the model starts to get "stale".
This is really nothing unusual IMHO compared to many other cars that are on year four and are targeting a very specific segment (sports cars). Chevy could choose to make less cars and keep the prices higher but it appears they can still make a profit with incentives so they continue to build and sell them at these price points.

Every one of those that looked interesting to me in the OP have automatics. Do you have the same discounts on M7s?

TGIF!
For all new Forum members: We here at MacMulkin Chevrolet we keep all our Corvette inventory inside climate controlled buildings right after being delivered from the factory. Our In stock and ordered units never see rain, snow, or bad weather! We know you don't drive your car in bad weather let alone leave it outside in the elements, why should your dealer?
MacMulkin Chevrolet also DOES NOT HAVE ANY FEES WHATSOEVER!!! The Price we quote is the price you pay here at the dealer PERIOD. Taxes and registration to be paid in your respective state DMV. We give you a 20 day temporary plate with every car purchased regardless of where you live* (unless in MA, we offer to go register it for you).
Everyone in the Corvette Department works together as a team to offer unmatched customer service. You can talk with anyone in the department regardless if the team member you are working with is currently unavailable. We are not commission based and thus able to work as a team to strive for 100% satisfaction from our customers.
When purchasing a in-stock unit you have the option of coming to the dealer and picking up your new Corvette or having it shipped via Intercity (a Platinum Forum Vendor). If flying in, we offer free pickup from the airport (MHT Manchester Airport is within 20 minutes, or you can fly into BOS Boston which is 45 minutes away). If you decide to save the miles on your credit card and would rather have the car shipped, we can take care of that for you as well. We will get a quote for you and can have Intercity deliver the car right to your driveway via enclosed trailer.
When placing a new Order, we will go over the order with you at time of deposit and also right before placing the order for you. We understand things change and you may want to update your order with additional options. When placing an order, you can either choose to have it delivered here at MacMulkin, Museum delivery (R8C), or to your local dealer (Via courtesy delivery) which we will set up for you. Most dealers charge between $300-$400 for Courtesy delivery.
If you have any questions or are looking for a quote on a order, please feel free to PM us and we will be happy to assist you
Thanks,
MacMulkin Chevrolet

I think you are dealing with a number of factors:
$60-80+K sports car where there is a lot of competition (including the base Corvette that is $10K+ cheaper)
This is the fourth model year of the C7 and, like any car, most of the people who wanted one bought one by now and the model starts to get "stale".

Nothing stale about the C7 design or specs at this time. It is the economy of the US, which is deeply in a long-running recession with really no net creation of jobs plus the oil economy states are in serious decline. After this election it is clear even to those, that the employment outlook will not get better any time soon. So yah, sales are down for C7 but they will continue.
