GM Employee Discount - Z06
I did a search and didn't see this question directly answered. Does GM Employee discounts apply to the Z06?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

If you find a dealer willing yes. It is the dealers decision. I doubt any dealer will offer a Z06 at employee discount when most people consider themselves lucky to get one at MSRP.

When Chevy was advertising thier GM Employee Discount a while ago, they said at the bottom of the commercial that the Corvette was excluded.

Good to know... I'm personally not eligible but my Aunt is so I was thinking of using hers on a C6 Z06 but I wasn't sure if the car was eligible. Yeah, I noticed that... What part of Fallston are you in? I live in Delmar Farms, right off 165.

I met a guy outside my business, he pulled up in a 2006 Silver Z06 with no options, MSRP was like $65900.
He did something for GM which qualified him for the discount.
He actually bought the car for $58,900 I believe, no more than $59,900-I remember it was under $60K.
I was blown away that a dealer actually did that for him.
He was an older gentleman, not the young bragger type who might lie about what they actually paid, so I am sure he was telling the truth.
I gave him my card and although Silver is not my favorite color for a Vette, I told him any time he wanted to sell it to call me 1st and he will not LOSE any money.

Hi, would like to know if ANY Dealership will let you use "GM in the Driveway" on a Z06?? I used it on my 2006 C6 with no Problem but this is a different dealer and they said "NO" on a Z06.

Okay, so if I understand correctly, edibility is not the issue it’s the participating dealer. If I could find a willing dealer, the GM Employee discount would apply?

That seems to be the case, but can you blame a dealer for not wanting to give up a potential profit of $10,000-$15,000 at $5000 over plus holdback to sell you a car at less than invoice and only make 2-3% holdback.
I think you could easily snag a C6 coupe or Vert, heck you could probably pick up a BASE coupe for under $40K, but the C6 Z06s are their money makers right now.
I would see if maybe a dealer who is asking MSRP + $5000 would sell you the car for the GM discount if you still kicked in the $5000, you would still be getting a decent deal and the dealer will be happy also.

Absolutely..............I actually had a GMID certificate, and offered it, prior to purchase of my new '06 Z06.........the GM just smiled.........
HOWEVER, I just grinned back as I gave him their own "$1,000 off your next purchase from us" coupon. The dealership had given my wife this coupon last year when she purchased her Malibu Maxx LT from them.
She remembered that she saved it and actually brought it to the dealership after negotations (if you can call them that, I paid MSRP).

So to use it the vehicle has to be eligible first and then the dealer has to allow you use the discount.
This is an excerpt from the Supplier discount web page.
There are several more listed that are allowed. Buicks, Cadillacs, Pontiacs, Saabs, Hummers, and Saturns.
The only other one that I saw that wasn't allowed is the:
HUMMER H1 Alpha NO

Most GM vehicles are eligible for purchase or lease through the GM Supplier Discount Program. Please take a look at the charts below for model eligibility and restrictions.
SVPP
Chevrolet Aveo YES
Chevrolet HHR YES
Chevrolet Cobalt YES
Chevrolet Corvette YES
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 NO
Chevrolet Impala YES

So even if you wanted to purchase it with the discount GM will not
allow the dealer to do it. Can a dealer sell you a vehicle at a price below MSRP that is equal to GMS or Supplier. Sure but that is the
choice of the dealer.
The chart above is basically what vehicles GM is allowing the dealer to
use with any of the discount programs.

There were about 4 to 5 GM vehicles that the employee discount is dealer optional. Corvette, Caddy SLR, and a few others I can't think of. And this changes - monthly - sometimes.
