It is already a 2 year old model! I believe 25 percent off would be appropriate!

That's around 16% off. You can already get that much off of a 2018 GS.

Wow, strange market when a new 2017 GS “apparently” is worth less percentage wise that some used 2017 GSs on here. Huh...

Throw the sticker up and let’s do the math..you just told an OP a new 2017 GS should be discounted by 30%. By around 80000 suppose you mean much less since its a 1LT.

No Sir....I said BETWEEN 25 to 30 %
Stanford is Currently advertising 20% on Forum last
month I saw 25%

In Dec 2017...I got approx. 30% off (28.91% after everything)
on my new stingray and the had a 2017 GS (Non Z07) at the same discount at MacMurkin who is very competitive on price.
These WERE the very last two 2017 remaining in their inventory

I think with some looking you could do better than the 20% ad for sure if you find the one you want.

Out West in our states the tax savings is ANOTHER
around $6,000 another reason to buy a nearly new used
car........And that is what a lot of use try to do in Nevada/Arizona
and possible some other states! After all everyone drive a used car as soon as it is driven off the lot!

I looked for several months everywhere and NEVER
FOUND a Grand Sport Z07 for under $60,000. EVEN
with 10,000 plus miles.....Let alone 1600 Miles. I never
even found another Wathkins Gray Z07 anywhere on West
Coast.

I will find the sticker when I get home from racing in Phoenix. The Z07 Ultimate Perf. Package is around $8,000. by itself and the car has several other options as well.

Now I understand the Gentleman was not asking about a Z07 (Probably not interested in that)...........
but that is what you are comparing in my Corvette when you are
using my car to comparison.

I am asking $59,500.......If it was not a Z07 I would be asking $51,500. ($59,500 minus $8,000 Z07 Pack = $51,500) Now you can throw Mud all day at Me BUT that is my logic!

So far the best offer I have received in two weeks on my car
is $45,000 plus another offer of $30,000.....Looks like I will
be keeping it!

Yet another asinine post from the moron who knows nothing about cars. There is a reason you can't find a car, because 1) you know nothing about Corvettes (how's your 1LE Corvette doing?), 2) you can't afford one, and 3) you don't understand how pricing works.

Brand new houses start at $60k, don't ever pay more than $56k doesn't matter what area/how many bedrooms/ how much land/etc on it.


For the benefit of others, Stingrays were up to 25% off if you had loyalty in Nov/Dec, Z06 and GS never got above 20% (with loyalty) from the forum dealers (I.e., the largest volume dealers). Maybe you could have found a deal somewhere on a 1LT/1LZ, because those are the least desirable ones / last ones sitting on the lot.

N9TMARE needs to be banned. He posts on C5 6 7 forums and apparently is an expert across the board. I always liked this forum and I am also in the market for a new to me Vette. Please ban him!
