Way to answer the question....jeez.
If they follow the past, you will be able to order a 2015 in late April or May, they will shut down Bowling Green in June to make any line changes and then start producing 2015's in July.

I anticipate seeing order guides and the ability to submit orders in May. We still have slots available for 2014 orders for those who want to beat what I expect to be a major price increase.

That may be on the high end.....but regardless, that is much less than taking a one year depreciation loss on taking a 14 so late in the game. Also, that is far from a substantial increase.

I believe in the Beer Fairy
Wait for the 2015's order availability and then see all these dealers taking 5-8 grand off 2014's and scoop one up at that time.

I agree. I also believe the deeper 2015 discounts will more than offset the increase. I already have negotiated a 4K discount from MSRP on a 2015 Z51 package car.....and I am thinking I may need to lean on him to do better when we get closer to actually ordering the car. I don't think a $4k discount will be good enough by May.

ETA: I'm sticking with my 2014 order for now, I hear it should likely go past 1100 next week. Knowing that I wouldn't buy the data recorder option and have no need for the integrated LTE, unless something else major that I would use is introduced for 2015 I don't feel like I'd be missing anything.

I am negotiating an at dealer cost letting the dealer keep the hold back money., for a 2015. We all know the economy will tank by June leaving unemployment at about 6% and the DOW at about 17,200. No one will be buying Corvettes or any other car. I see the layoffs coming in Bowling Green when the production falls to 40,000 units a year.

cause the dealers are trying to scare people into buying 2014s the 2015 will have a lot of nice add ons and the dealers don't want to be stuck with the 2014 their will be an increase but not enough to for people to run out an buy 2014 that's what happens when you buy first year model you miss out on all the goodies that are coming I expect a lot of people will try and dump their 2014 for the zo6 or the upgraded versions thus a price drop and dealers selling at mrsp will have to lower there prices
