All of my dealers allocations over the next 6 months are sold orders to customers, then of course the dealers will want a few for their lots. Also considering the time frames quoted there will be at least 1 if not 2 price increases, so for those hoping to get a discount by summer of 14 they might pick up the car for todays MSRP.

Since we have those who have stated they made the first cut, if you went to two dealers (tbasco) and both had nothing received, I'd have to agree with zy above. Maybe all three of their submittals were with equipment on constraint, or something was wrong with their filling out the order. Or maybe they will still receive notice this week sometime. Maybe.

I didn't say you couldn't get 1k off MSRP, I said those who believe they will get "big discounts" are in for a surprise, also a single dealer does not an overall market picture make, just ask those on the west coast about that, anyway, time will tell, the more I learn about the demand and product roll out, the more I see major market adjustments, not the few forum dealers dealing with knowledgeable corvette people,

Will see who's right soon enough In the meantime, I will enjoy my Stingray from MacMulkin, no market adjustment, no dealer fees or BS, just a great car, made the first allocation cut, very excited...

BTW, Tommy at MacMulkin was suprised that he got ONLY 13 CARS as the number 2 corvette dealer in the country (1 this year) on the first consensus, go ahead and believe what you want :rof l:

This car sounds very rare and unattainable.

Did you ask Tommy Jr for a discount off MSRP? Another forum member said that he was offered $500 off MSRP at MacMulkin. The laugh might just be on you.

The 13 cars....was this for the first week? I bet so. I bet he will be getting a truck load each and every week for the next 6-9 months. You sound like that's all(13 cars) he is getting for the entire 6-9 months. Ain't so.......He will be getting a **** load of C7's during the first 6-9 months of production.. No shortage there.

With all due respect, I dont think any of us that are paying MSRP or a little under really care about 500 bucks. I would rather have the car now and enjoy it.

JoesC5

I agree, but do you think it is fair to someone that is new to this forum to only read posts that say the C7 will be so rare that it will be several years before they will be discounted.

The truth is that the C7 is being discounted, and even though some might not want to avail themselves of the chance to purchase a C7 at a discount, that doesn't negate the fact that you can buy a C7 for less than MSRP and that the chances are that the discounts will be even greater in the next 6-9 months when the initial buying binge is over and the dealers are wanting to sell the C7's that they have coming in from Bowling Green every week.

When we ordered our 06 convertible in July 05, all dealers in our general vicinity were adamant about adding a 'market adjustment' to MSRP. Some pretty good size Phoenix dealers were the most aggressive. One quoted $10K, all were $5K. This with an entire production year 2005 on the road. While we may face some new model blues, that is what the warranty is for. So we will be an early adopter this time out. Good news for us, we want a convertible and our cold weather dealer with a big allocation is loaded up with coupe orders.

Those were good years for the economy and credit. Over charging and over paying, no one really cared!

The 900 number For dealerships is one car for the showroom.
does a for custom to sit in the car and possibly get a test drive and those Car are going to be given to the dealer by GM as demos?

AVETTE

Yes, you are right, Macmulkin will get a total of 250 coupes and verts combined over 9 months and they are 2nd in the country... Good luck on your search for massive discounts

No way either of us can predict the future, so I guess we'll have to revisit this thread next spring and see what's happening with supply and demand of the C7. I have my opinion and you have your opinion. Both opinions are based on our individual experiences. In 1997 people were also saying you couldn't get a discount on a new C5 and plenty were paying over MSRP because they were led to believe that was the only way to get a C5. Well, I got a $1,000 discount off MSRP in 1997 on my new C5 that I special ordered through a dealer in Tulsa. Just by picking up the phone, I found most of the dealers, but not all, would give me a discount once they learned I wasn't playing their games with their market adjustments. If I talked with a dealer who was trying to screw around with me, I said thanks, but no thanks, hung up, and called another dealer. No shortage of dealers out there.

Are there any dealers reading this that can give me their oppinion on what the facts are?

If a dealer sold 4 new corvettes in 2012 he's entitled to get a C7 allocation. BUT he must then pledge to buy the essential.tools, send technicians for training, AND send someone to C7 performance driving school..

This will cost thousands of dollars. Its possible that some small.dealers will decline the expense even though they may have sold 4 vettes last year...

Hey, if you wanted a discounted vet - buy a C6! I myself just could not go for the C6 at 17.5% discount after waiting for GM to finally release the C7!
