Default Discount Question

Hi folks,

First post.

I'm mostly a classic car guy. I have a '71 C3 Convertible, and my brother and I are both in NCRS.

But the C7 looks like such a fantastic car, I'm seriously considering taking the plunge... plus I got a green-light from "The Boss"... as long as it has an automatic trans.

Also, if I spend that kind of money, I want a Z51, these seem to be constrained, so I'm thinking of just ordering a 2015 at this point.

My question concerns various discount programs... employee, supplier, etc...

I am not a GM employee or a supplier. I have applied for a Credit Union discount and received an authorization number from GM, but not sure if this applies to 2015.

Any advice on how these work, who's eligible, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

Les Stanford is the only dealership in the country who is currently honoring the GM Supplier Discount on Z51 coupes. It is my understanding they will be continuing to honor it for the 2015. I recommend you call Dennis Tap at Les Stanford.

The other greedy high volume dealers are not honoring the GM Supplier discount on Z51. I refuse to do business with a dealership if they will not honor the GM Supplier discount

This is absolutely, positively not true. I have a 2015 Z51 coupe on order at supplier pricing from a dealer in SW Washington.

Welcome,
'81 C3 for 23 yrs. NCRS since 1978. I never had a desire to do a C4-5-6, but when the C7 came out with the C3 inspired front and I was gut hooked!
I rented a Base C7 vert in Phoenix for a day and it's more car then I'll ever need. I took the Credit Union authorization and made a deal with Dave@Kerbeck for Museum delivery. I've never been to the museum but a bucket list wish is taking me there in July for delivery.
BTW...the '81 stays, my wife says she does not want to listen to me "pine" over selling it.

I have had my 80 C3 for 28 years now. I never like the C4, the C5 was ok, but not enough to want one. Looked hard at the later C6 cars but just could not enough to make me spend my money.

The first pictures I saw of the C7 I knew I would have one. Reading the first test articles I knew exactly how I was equipping it. The hardest thing was deciding the color.

Ordered mine in Oct when I could find a local dealer with an allocation and most important allocation for Z-51, FAY and exposed CF top.

Love the car

I think what he wanted to say was they are the only FORUM SPONSOR in the national that will honor it?
