After three years (c5 & C6) with a LMB coupe, I traded up to a Machine Silver Convertible. Just in time for the warmer weather.
I went poking around and noticed a lot of 06's still on the lots. A local dealer (Jerry Hagerty) discounted 10k off a loaded vert and gave 37500 on my LMB coupe (which i thought was agressive for dealer trade).
Is anyone else seeing these kind of deals? Did i get as good a deal as I thought

Sounds like a lot. That would be almost 1/3 of the 07 production...however there are enough 07's that aren't being sold so that the consumer gets a smokin' deal. Anything more then "UNDER MSRP" is a rip off. Seriously. Let the dealer pay the customer the 2% or so they get back from GM. It's a buyers market now, like in 03, and 04

A quick check on the Jeff Hardy lookup tool found 5,934 available in all body styles, all options Nationwide so I'd say that the 10,000 was an exaggeration.

Where's Haggerty at?? I'm looking for a new vert now. (I never should've sold my 05)
I'm in Lemont and if there dealing like that it'll be worth the trip.

I worked with Tom Briehme (sp?).
I am not sure how many (if any) more vert 06's they have left. Go to www.corvette.com and then find vehicle. You can specifiy zip code, then 2006 convertible, and it will bring up everybody in your area. Others were also aggressive, but they were more aggressive.
I also talked to Pat O'reilly (something irish) at EVS (Ernie Von Shellhorn) in Random Lake Wisconsin, and they were also very aggressive, but did not have the color i wanted. I bought my last c6 there, and they were well worth the trip, and would "deal" by phone so you knew the numbers before you got there.
you can find them at www.evschevy.com
EVS is a forum vendor. I would recommend either haggerty or EVS. I know EVS had more 06 verts in stock, but after this gorgeous weekend, who knows.
