If you look at the large volume Corvette dealers the Coupes are in short supply. Kerbeck is not discounting Coupes and Z51 Convertibles. They are doing 3 grand off on Convertible Non Z51's.

Here's a lesson from Business School that is completely true
"The Customer Sets the Selling Price, not the seller"
I have found this to be 100% true, especially with cars. This is also why GM raised the price a few months ago...customers demanded it.
Are you saying to yourself "WTF is this jack-wagon saying, I never asked for a price increase" Maybe you specifically did not ask, but every last customer paying the higher price did. By their actions, customers are saying "yes, this is worth what you have priced it at and I want one"
I could go on and on about this stuff, but it is amazing how the laws of supply & demand play out like a text book on these cars.

Kerbeck has only 4 coupes, all base w/auto trans in stock - but 16 convertibles.

I see the model year coming to a close and orders for the 2015 Corvette will soon be taking place. Dealers are offering $3,000 or more off MSRP for your business.
But then, I look at some of the dealers here and elsewhere and they are still in MSRP mode and act like they are doing me a favor to sell me a C7 for not a penny over MSRP (plus the hidden dealer fees). You gotta be kidding me with the MSRP stuff. Is anybody stupid enough to pay bust out MSRP for a car that is about to be 1 year old?

You can't be looking. One dealer up this way has a Z51 convertible (NEW) forsale at $5,000 off MSRP.
There are lots more if you take the time to look around.
And it will get better the closer we get to the new MY. I would think the
dealers want to move the remaining 2014's so they can get 2015 allocations.

As I seriously doubt any dealer passed up a 2014 allocation, the 2015 allocations will be about the same per dealer as they were for 2014.
Also, the best way to see what is or will be left in inventory is to look at the big dealers website for what they have in stock or inbound. With the last orders going in on 6/12, by 6/26 Kerbeck will post every 2014 car it has coming in that is not pre-sold. 2015's won't hit dealers lots until September 2014.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't increasingly hear that the economy here in the US is about to take a real turn for the worse, including the value of the US dollar. Right now I would be looking to do everything to get out of debt, and prepare for some rough economic times ahead. I certainly wouldn't be borrowing money and taking on additional debt just to drive a new C7. I know that there are a lot of scoffers out there that reject this, but wait and see.

I work on a USAF base and we have MANY MANY Vette's and when I chat with the owners (usually it's my vanity plate that starts the conversation)
I usually mention it's also my alias on the CORVETTE FORUM and when I ask if they are members they look at me like I'm from MARS.
Very few Corvette owners are forum members.
