Makin' the deal
After reading many many threads here on new C7 sales I seem to find a common connection. It looks like anyone taking the GSM or Supplier Discount loses any bargaining status. Is it true that if taking a Supplier discount, the "new" MSRP is the final $$$ number? Just trying to dot all the I's and cross all the T's before I make the big move. Thanks, Bob

That's pretty much "it". The supplier, friends & family, credit union, military discounts change the bottom line between the dealer and the factory...
All are good deals BTW on a car that is otherwise hard to find discounted (except for verts at the moment)

Will have to look into several of those discount programs to see what it will do to the price of the car.

The way I saw it, there was no deal unless you took a discount. They wouldn't budge at all from MSRP previous to accepting GMS and supplier. I don't expect to see deals of the century unless the economy takes a nose-dive, and then we'd be worried about other things instead of an additional 1-2k off an already tremendous bargain.
On a personal note, I did try to see if they'd turn my supplier into an employee discount for being a repeat customer... no luck. Heh.

Until supply exceeds demand your not going to have much buying power. It would be a very stupid dealer who discounts a car now that he can sell for a higher price in the afternoon. Having said that however the supply side is getting better every day and by next winter I suspect buyers will be able to negotiate discounts even on top of special pricing. I also believe the 2015 price increase will be very modest.
