I was just looking thru cars.com and Classic Chevy Houston have 5 out 10 of their c7 corvettes discounted 4000 to 5800. What's the catch.

Hmm, yeah that's strange. I'm guessing it's a mistake, or some kind of bait and switch scheme perhaps. They have to know they can sell them for more than that.

They have the discounts on the website, I'd say it is legit.

Wow....I looked at some others on Cars.com and you had to be both a USAA member and have gotten the $1,000 discount offer for the price advertised...those are a couple of catches I've seen...

OK - I have Googled them - I have gone to their website - I have looked up their listings on car.com - nothing.

Could this advertising be regional and not viewable in the East?


Just found some listings via cars.com for them - looking at them now - thanks

Their website is calculating ALL rebates, even ones that the car doesn't qualify for. My dealers website shows savings of some $2000. USAA and some other rebate which we all know don't work on the Stingray.

people really don't care that much about a C7

Some Internet managers are gonna get their asses handed to them by management. They have a default discount configured in the system and they either didn't flag to car as "call for price" or not eligible for discount. I'm pretty sure if you got a sales person on the phone they would tell you right away either the car was sold or the price is a mistake. If I'm wrong then some people are going to get a great deal.

I just called Red River Chevy in Bossier City and the sales person said they were all preordered customer cars, and that was also a computer error, all their 14's are at sticker... They had only one blue one coming in that was not sold yet...
