I know your a bright guy. You can't possibly believe what you said is true. If, in fact, the economy was still in the hole maybe, but not anymore.

PS. I did not get chrome wheels with my car..are you proud of me?
On the no chrome wheels.
I will be sure to pass on links to great deals on the C7 as they come across....I know this is the Baby Hey-Sus but a Ferrari (rare) it is not.

Tell the city of Detroit (filed bankruptcy) the economy is all Roses.

If all the cities were Detroit you would be correct. Family income went up 2% this year. Housing is up 12%. I am looking forward to those great deals. I would like you to post them for everyone's benefit.

No. A few thousand in the stock market over the past two years and your in the Corvette Market. Since the Corvette market at 30,000 cars is only two tenths of one percent of the total car market you only have to find two tenths of the total economy. Not difficult even with your examples.

Anyone else thinking of doing this type of activity with their cars?
it is not just ebay it some dealers too. one dealer said they would sale at MSRP then turned around and said $2000 markup, then sold car before I got there now today he just told me no MSRP but $3000 over. I drove from Mckinney to Desoto Texas last night for nothing and that is a 55 mile ride.

The price will drop unless GM decides not to mass produce..which they wont and there will great savings for the patient buyer..its the history of Corvettes...

And they have to mass produce as they need to be sitting at dealers....you cant sell what you don't have! Many impulse buyers for them not to be in stock at dealers.

Bill just thinks this car is some rare precious metal!

It is not the history of Corvettes. It is the History of the C6.

They will sell over 30,000 2014 C7's. They sold 13,000 or so C6 last year alone and had to give money back to move them.

I never take a bath on a car. I buy it to use it. The cost of using a car is well known. A car is not a freaking investment it is a car. Item last they do not currently make a C7 that would cost me to much.
