Is the GM Supplier transferable to siblings, like the GMS or GMS?

How true that is. Nice that we have the good people of the world to save gas so us gear heads have more to waste in our overpowered hot rods!

As another data point, the GM Family First website was just updated last week to also exclude 2015 Corvette Stingrays. If they had intended on opening up the Stingrays for GMS discount today (as suggested), I find it unlikely they would have added the additional restriction last week that 2015 models would not be eligible for GMS when 2015s are not even rolling off the line.

I just got an email reply from my salesman at Les Stanford. Yes, GMS pricing is now effective and also there is an increase in the Z51 package. He did not disclose the difference in the increase of the Z51. I will be grandfathered, since my order is in and my build date is 3/17.

I assume for the 2014, since he told me that I would be grandfathered.

Update!!! My salesman said the price increase for the Z51 will be $3,000. I would not have thought that it would be that much

Why doesn't his website reflect the GMS pricing discount. The MSRP and GMS price are identical.

They are switching you to GMS price and the GMS discount will be taken off the OLD, Lower MSRP?

Default Les Stanford Order

I can't speak for REDC7AZ but I am in the same situation he is in (and it looks like we are in the best situation possible regarding C7 prices). In my case it is purely "dumb luck"

I switched from another dealer on 2/12 and ordered a Z51 coupe from Les Stanford . Within a week I went from 1100 to 3000. Within the next week I went to 3300 with a Target Build Week of 3/17.

The Monday after GMS Employee pricing was announced, I called my salesman [James Fillmore] and advised that I wanted my order switched to GMS pricing. He stated, "No problem just bring us the authorization number before you pick-up the car."

In 2010 I ordered an SS Camaro (when they were new and hot) under the GMS plan. They had a price increase (but that increase was justified by added equipment like back-up sensors). GM was very good about honoring the original price- the extra stuff was free! I see no reason why GM or the dealer would not honor the original price this time too.

I expect my car to come in with the new price sticker, but actually cost me over $10,000 less!

in case this didn't get mentioned though... GMS on Corvettes has always been dealer optional; they are not required to sell a Corvette via the GM Employee discount program.

Very Good and important point Mike. I got a callback from the first dealer I placed my order with. During the conversation, I asked if they honored GM Employee pricing. My salesman responded, "uuuuum ......no." I'm glad I switched to Les Stanford, they saved me over $7,000

I tried to post an earlier thread to discover which of the other large forum dealers honor GM Employee pricing on "in stock" or ordered Corvettes. I didn't get any dealer response.
