Default WTB Base C7

Dealers --

My M3 lease is up Feb 1. Looking like C7 is the next vehicle. I'll buy this one - most likely using USAA financing.

As I want the base (non-Z51), I think some folks have been more aggressive on pricing. I'd prefer a January delivery if possible, but for the right deal I can buy tommorow. I'd prefer a Florida dealer (south florid even better), but will do an OOS deal if need be.

I'm picky re: color + options, so I likely have to order.

Please PM me what you can do.

Mike

Hope this doesn't offend you. I don't think you will be getting much response right about now. They are all kind of busy selling every available car at MSRP.

Contact Kerbeck. You might get lucky if you don't need Z51.

Doesn't offend me at all. Worst case I'll pay MSRP.

Seems like some dealers need to sell base models to get the Z51s in their allocations released. I'm always looking for a win - win.

Best,

Mike

Is this true? Guess I didn't know this. There was people saying that most cars made at first would be optioned to the gills because GM and dealers will prioritize higher option levels for subsequently higher profit.

It was my understanding that Z-51 allocations are simply limited (under constraint) right now. I don't think non Z-51 sales will open up more Z-51 allocations for a dealer.

Also, you might be better off posting this in the Corvette C7 --> dealer inventory forum. Too late now though I guess. Nevertheless, I'd still look in there as I think a couple of dealers have posted saying they have non Z-51 allocations available.

Thanks. Tried in dealer inventory first, but I can't post there yet. Trying to rack up some posts and see if that changes.

Oh, ok. Didn't realize new members couldn't post there (never tried myself).
