After reading all these posts it's safe to say all of us have limited funds for the vette hobby.However IF I was rolling in it,I have to admit,I would pay 100 g's to get one a.s.a.p. (and so far I really don't even like it that much).You can call them stupid but that is what being wealthy allows you to do-buy anything at any time.

None of those circumstances apply to me personally nor do I ever see myself paying over sticker. But I would never call another person stupid for making that choice.

went to tomball parkway yesterday to price a new c6 Grand sport and the female sales manager told me they are going to sell the new corvette c7 for 100,000.00 with orders taken allready are we that desperate for the new vette that we would let someone charge us 30 to 40 thousand over what the car is worth just to say I have a new c7 ,that means for every new c7 they sell someone got what a new truck cost fully loaded. And she was so smug about it all I can say is wow.

100k is Viper and it would be no brainer, at least for me. What the dealer says and what the truth is tend to be opposite, especially considering there are dealers on this forum who already stated they will sell at or below MSRP.
A nice way with words.

This is car salesman BS. Plain and simple, they all lie to you, trying to make the sale "today".
The old, it wont be here for a year and a half, and when it does, it will be twice as much as the "obsolete C6" which we still have a sales lot full of.
Might as well buy one of these we have sitting on the lot................ I can smell the BS through the computer screen.
Ain;t nobody gonna buy a base C7 for that much.

Make the C7 (that they can't sell today) sound so expensive that the leftover C6 (that they can sell today) looks like an even bigger bargain.
