How to find best deal on NEW Stingray?
I am trying to buy a new one and dont mind leftover models nor going out of state. I keep reading of people managing 20% and above off. I am not having much luck with finding this. Is car gurus the best way to do this? Do all dealers use CG or just some? I am not too familiar with GM rebates, it is my first time buying GM or any new car. All I do know is the 3k cash for 2017 models for this month.
Trying to get a base 1lt or 2lt M7 at the most. Just looking for some good tips or leads
Thank you

Getting to 20% is not a normal task, we have been doing it though on most of our cars for 2 months now....selections are limited, especially with a 7 speed...
We are working to bring other offers and inventory to the table, for now here are some Stingray Specials;

MacMulkin will be close but it seems like those 20% off deals are long gone. I'm in the market as well, although looking for a GS car which seems a bit more limited in leftover inventory. Stingray inventory is likely a bit better. I looked on cars.com, autotrader and cargurus.
Best overall deals i've found were on 2019 cars since the absolute cheapest 2018 comparable car (looking at manual 1LT) was only $1500 less than a ordered 2019. Not a significant enough discount. 2017s are priced the same as 2019s ... and there are only a few (generally small) dealers that still have them. I called a few and they won't budge on pricing so I passed on them.
good luck.

Just recently picked up a 2017 Grand Sport M7 for 20% off MSRP - here's my advice based on my experience....
Any site you look at, like CG, filter for the options you want to reduce the list and then look at every one you are interested in by pulling up that dealership website and seeing it there. In my case the car was listed much higher on the generic site than that of the dealer site - I'm sure people passed it right by because of that fact.
With 2017's don't stop there, pick up the phone and call about each car. In my case it was a quick conversation with my first call, explaining I'm a number of states away and need to know so I can move on or if this might be the one, "is the price shown firm or is there additional room" - there was no hesitation in this case, they dropped another $1500 off their advertised price without hesitation.
I don't think there was anything unique about my call, but I was a very serious buyer and I was buying a car from someone soon, the only question was from who - I think that came across in the call and they put their best foot forward.
This was a smaller dealership, but not tiny by any means.
Remember for a 2017, that car has been with them for a long time, they are happy to get your call.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I would have ordered a 2019 in the exact same color and options, so I got exactly what I wanted.
good luck!!!

FWIW, Rickconti offered me the most for my trade in when compared to les Stanford (by a decent amount). So if anyone is interested in trading in a vehicle, go with Rick. It was a fair price and if they had the exact car I wanted I would have done the deal. The offer I got from les Stanford was nearly laughable.
