Current Incentives?
.
Loyality incentive went down from $3000 to $1000
Now customer cash is available for $3000 if I'm reading the web correctly for at least 2011, not sure as to 2012.
Dealer cash ($1500)- I presume gone.....
Thanks

There is another thread all about this same topic.
The $750 USAA Rebate has been extended till Dec 2012.
I thought there was also a $1500 GM to Dealer Cash available [if] the dealership want's to pass it on to the buyer ... but I am not 100% sure if that is still available for the 2012 year model Corvettes.

Why not just phone the dealership or heaven forbid, stop in. I think they can answer your question. There is another reason, there is a viable by region as to what is being offered and it can be different in your area.

Tim is NOT around and that is the problem. Spent ALL LAST WEEKEND trying to buy a car from the monkeys he leaves in charge..... (including driving down (125miles one way $60 in gas and bridge tolls)).
So calling them for incentive info would be just as futile.
It took 3 emails, 2 phone calls and 1 live chat to simply learn if the car was an auto or manual. I want a manual. The initial Boardwalk inventory web page for the car states auto....while playing with the web page at a lower level I found the MSRP info did not include a $1200 charge for the auto. Thus an obvious issue. The main guy a the sales desk wouldn't get out of his chair and walk approx 25 feet to put his head inside the car to look and make a determination. The young lady on live chat did it for me--the lowest paid person there and she (Danica I think) worked the hardest to get a deal done.
After more live chat and phone calls they finally confirmed I was on the list for the $3k loyality rebate....
The problem then became how to get the yellow 2012 GS 125 miles to my house in Sacramento. I'm thinking (and offered) $200-300 for a driver team (most dealerships use retired couples for this)..I drive down, buy the GS and they have a driver (with follow car) drive my DD back to Sacto...I then pay the driver team (again-$$ out of my pocket not the dealers).
Nope totally unwilling to do that...No drivers available (instant decision so no calls were made)...except well they could maybe get a driver to pick me up in Sacramento and drive me down for free...but of course if the deal falls through (price changes)..I'm 125 miles from home without a ride...you get the idea.
Spent Sat and Monday trying to track folks down for a ridealong passenger but everyone was tied up, holiday weekend, go figure. I actually drove down on Sunday and spent 60 minutes inspecting the car. A nice sales guy (Michael I think) helped..I mentioned the ride issue- he thought a driver should be avaialbe (I think he was seeing an easy 200 after gas)..but when I acted surprised (he caught me of guard) and mentioned Wahid said no dirvers his posture (he looked straight down and went kinda limp) changed subjets and that idea died (and he disppeared quick)....apparently a sales person upsetting Wahid has a short career there.
Hmmm why not drive my 11 auto GS down and just trade it it...thought of that also...but as I have a written offer from CarMax for $7k MORE then Boardwalk offered I said no to that idea....(the 11 GS probably goes to CarMax tomorrow before the offer expires so future loyality rebates gone).
I can only think Tim had this one priced (over 9k off MSRP PLUS the 3k loyality for 12k off on a 2012 GS) so low there was no cut for them and so they were not about to give Tim a sale on one of his Corvettes. I gotta think they are laughing to themselves at costing Tim a sale. I have never see such behavior out of a dealership before.
And yes a PM went to Tim days ago with NO response.

Bottomline: Give Tim a chance, period! I have gotten 2 Vettes from him and last #1 I got he did everything he could to get me back into a Corvette!!! I put him though the ringer and back, I am very sorry for that,
Tim is good people, no body could have touch his deal, nobody!

I have been tied up here at the dealership this week and this is my first time logging back into the forum since Christmas. The car is here and I will give you $10,000 off MSRP including the loyalty rebate. Let me know if you want it or not. Also I was gone for most of the time during Christmas to New Years. Sorry about that.

If someone can get me a 2012 GS at close to mid $40s and payoff trade I'll buy one. I've got some cash to throw to the deal too. I can probably get close to that rate at my credit union.

New member here, thinking about a new or potentially used GS.
Anyway, was looking at this myself, as I have over $4k in points on the card.
I think the current GM card offer is $3000 for the '12 coupes, and $1000 for the '11 coupes. Looks like nothing for the convertibles.
