According to chevrolet.com the 2013 Corvette incentives haven't changed. It's still a $2,000 rebate...except now the fine print says Take delivery by 07-01-2013.
So it looks like the rebates may remain unchanged for May and June?

It is very interesting because there are still hundreds of unsold brand new Corvettes in the market, and so many of them are loaded with options..~$65-70k MSRP even with the rebates and consumer cash they are still priced well above the upcoming C7..if the rebates remain the same for May and June people will most likely opt for the C7 or wait till next year since the summer season will be almost over which will eventually cause more and more unsold C6s in the lots..

Please take into consideration most forum vendors are discounting the MSRP on C6's by up to 18%. I've been watching C6 stock levels at the bigger dealers and they are selling. Research some of the threads and you will see there is a fair # of members here buying 2013 Corvettes, including myself. I am sure most of the people buying new 2013 C6's could easily afford to go the C7 route if they wanted to but choose not to.
A comparable C6 isnt even close in price to the same comparable C7 when you take the discounts being currently being given.
This is backed up by GM not offering deeper discounts, they simply don't have to. The cars are still selling.

Meanwhile, the dealers have nothing else to offer the Corvette buyer until then.

Plus just think of all the depreciation the C7 guys will take in the second year of C7 production after having paid MSRP of MSRP+++!!
C6 at current discount structure is by far the best economic decision for at least the next two years IMO.

The supply on some cars is already getting low. For example, I'm looking for a no-option 1LT Torch Red GS coupe with a manual transmission. Honestly, I would have thought that dealers would have loaded up on something like this (inexpensive, right color, low price, easy to sell, etc). Well...I was wrong. There are only something like 4 of these cars left in the entire country right now.
