From: Wylie TX --> Less is More, except under the hood !
I went to 10 dealers in Dallas (March 2004) and said i want 10K off.... 3 said yes.
I went to the 3 dealers that said yes and asked for 11K off.... 2 said yes.
Out of the 2 dealers remaining, one said they would give me 11.5K off and the other said 12K. I decided to jump on it...

June, 2001
My 01 came all the way from Montgomery, Alabama with 3 miles on the odometer. It was switched from a car carrier to flatbed and delivered to my driveway in June of 01. One of my neighbors was on the road, saw the flatbed with my car on it and called another neighbor to let her know it was coming. We all converged on it at about the same time.
At the time, there were no $10,000 discounts, anywhere in the country. The most you could get was $2500 off the MSRP and I bought my C5 from a dealership that advertised in this forum (Capital Chevrolet).

When I buy my NEW c7, it will be from Boardwalk Chevrolet in Redwood City Ca or Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg Idaho. Ill have it shipped to Oregon. Our local dealer still has the attitude that $10k OVER sticker is a deal
. Maybe that's why they sell only 1 or 2 a year..

With all due respect...the op was asking a simple question...and that was..."Who bought a brand new Corvette"...not "new to them"...just plain NEW!...If you can't answer his question/request then plain and simple...stay out of the thread...again, no disrespect meant...thousands of people bought new Corvettes...Start another thread with people who didn't buy "new Corvettes" and I am sure you will get lots of great responses...

drove my '04 out of dealer brand spanking new and i was honestly VERY nervous, having never driven a Z before. turned out it was docile as can be.
my car was one of ~6 available in the country at the time, in the torch red/mod red combo, among the last of the c5 production runs in that spec.
