Default Another "Crystal Ball" thread

Okay guys, I know none of us have a crystal ball, but I am wondering when we might see the $3,000.00 "Corvette Loyalty" come back? Frankly, that is one of the targets I am waiting for before I pull the trigger...

It may return soon for the remaining unsold 2012 and 2013 models but it will likely be several years before they need that much incentive to move the new C7 models.

Lets see, the C6 came out in late 2004... The Loyalty credit came out in 2012, I think it was..... so, pushing aside my crystal ball and pulling over my adding machine, that would make it, uh, carry the 1....

Sept 12, 2021....

Glad to be of assistance...

Truly? I did not know that credit did not exist until 2012. What a bummer....

I am in Canada, and actually we have NEVER had it, sadly. I think it was 2012 in the US, it might have been 2011, I am sure one of the US guys can confirm...

I don't agree with sam90lx. I don't think there will be any significant offers any time soon.

My expectation is you will see some price increases that will more then offset any rebates. Look what they just did with the new GM trucks.

If not in the base price some of the more popular options like the Z51. Way underpriced as it is.

With Great reviews, Winning awards all over, Z51's are on super constraint I'd say it won't be here any time soon, we will start seeing rebates in the summer when 2015's start rolling off the line.

Well at least it's not another "what do you think the Z07/ZR1 will be like, 1500hp twin turbo? huh huh huh?!?!?" thread.

Hendrick Chevy of Cary http://www.hendrickchevrolet.com/corvette-headquarters says $3k loyalty bonus is still on for remaining C6s, although I'm not sure whether that's an official GM private offer or just the individual dealer's discount. When/if we'll see loyalty programs for C7s, or the next Z, no idea!

Make your own 3k by getting a Gm card. I got $2500 off my C7.

Actually, that's part of my purchase plan. I already have $1,500.00 worth of credits on the card and will not be buying until I have the full $3,000.00 ready to be applied..
