Default Newbie pricing question

Hola! I am new to the forum and am searching for a way to get an emotes discount program code. Someone must know someone that can help get a code. Somebody's got to want to put Me In a Corvette just to help the vette family grow. I emailed mr. Ott but go no reply. Anyone have any suggestions I'm almost desperate?

Tia!

Be aware that very few dealers are accepting Employee pricing on C7s.

What state are you in? Someone might be able to suggest someone they know near you who accepts "discounts".

You do know that GM can ban the employee from the program for getting a car for a non-eligible person?

In case you do not know, I personally know employees who have lost their eligibility for such. The ban is not permanent last only two years if I remember right but it is there, it has happened, and most employees know.

Florida is the easy coast version of California when it comes to C7's. I hope you're willing to buy out of state if somebody does agree to hook you up.

Default Didn't know that

I didn't know that they'd get in trouble for it and certainly wasn't trying to do that. Just looking for a deal on a nice car. I've no problem with the salesperson, dealership, and GM making $ just don't want to get gouged just because it's a new model. Heck I usually give the sales person a couple hundred bucks when the deal is over.

The ban was two minutes for Geo Metros.

Try using a Supplier discount.

Here's what you need to do.

1. Go to http://www.lovemycreditunion.org/GM-171.html, find a credit union that participates that you are eligible to join and join it.

2. Go here https://www.mygmdiscount.com/ip-vpp/, register and read all the FAQ's on how to generate a code, when you should generate the code and how to price out a vehicle.

3. Call Dennis Tap @ Les Stanford Chevrolet and place an order for whatever you want, they honor all discounts.

4. Either fly up to Michigan to pick it up, do a Museum Delivery or have it courtesy delivered to a local dealer who will agree to do one.

5. Enjoy your new Corvette.

It was on 2014 and 2015 as well, as long as you have a supplier cert or credit union or military discount.

GM also has a program that comes and goes where employees can designate discounts to people they or their family know. One of those programs expired a few months ago.
