They are going to soon so that they can clear out the '08's for the '09's.

I manage a Chevrolet dealership and we won't know until it actually happens. Let's hope it does.

That makes sence to me because GM is usually quiet about their rebates.

Corvette sales are slow Nation wide...you would think they would do something to generate some movement. I'm discounting them to whatever I need to do to make a deal. All I can be is fair and consistant...it's up to GM from there to divy out the incentives.

It's logical to think something is coming.

However, it does no good to ask what the word is.
No one, including the dealers ever has a clue of what they will do in advance.

On May 3rd, I traded my 94 Vette on a 2008 Corvette Coupe. I received a $1000 Rebate from GM. I also looked on the Chevy Website and it was listed there too. According to the dealer, the rebate was for a limited time.

I thought they just started the rebates on the 07 a few months ago and there are still plenty of them left over.

Default Rebate offer????

So, as I said, my car is on order and is scheduled to be completed 5/29 and delivered the first week of June.

I got an advertisement in the mail today for a $2,000 GM rebate.

It says "$2000 offer valid on select new and unused 2007 and 2008 GM vehicles, with the exception of all hybrids, Aveo, Cobalt, G5, ASTRA, and medium duty trucks. Take delivery from 5/19/08 through 7/19/2008. Customer must bring original certificate received in the mail to redeem offer."

Can I get the additional 2k off the price of the car?

I ordered it on April 28th and gave them a 2,000 dollar deposit at that time.

Probably not. Generally rebates are only on cars in dealer stock.

Thanks but the certificate says "See back for full program details."

And, I quoted the limitation statement on the back and it said nothing about in stock or not it just says "Take delivery" between those dates.

Yes, but it also says "select" new and unused vehicles. I'm just saying that rebates are normally on vehicles in dealer stock. By all means give it a try. The worst thing that can happen is they tell you it doesn't apply.

We can't grant your rebate. You need to talk to Chevy/GM.
