Default 2015 price increase

Hearing the Z06's might see a price increase after the first of the year. Any thoughts about seeing a price increase on the C-7. After the mid year increase in 2014, I wouldn't think so.

I'd be very surprised if the Stingray sees an increase. It's not like there's a shortage of them at this point. Supply is definitely exceeding demand and it's now a buyer's market. IMHO all of that doesn't add up to an increase in price.

The Z06 is a completely different story, for now.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was a modest jump in price.

There might be an increase, but it will be discounted out real fast.
As docprego stated it is a buyers market now. Lots of Corvettes on the ground and most dealers are discounting, I don't think GM will bump the price on the Stingray...but who knows, it's GM.

I think the C7 will see a slight increase. Glad I got my order entered on 12/18.

I would not be suprised to see a price increase in Canada, given the recent and significant deprecation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar. We are currently paying an 18% premium to buy a US$, but the MSRP price differential on a C7 Z51 is only approximately 6%. There will be pressure to equlaize. So for canucks with an order pending ( I am in that group) , price protection is important.

PS- nice to see the US economy revving, good for us all........

How can it be discounted? Only way to "discount" it from GM would be in form or a rebate. GM isn't going to hike the price up then throw a rebate on the Corvette.

Invoice price goes up when MSRP goes up.

I see a mid year price increase as usually, I'd guess $500 or so.

This Z06 price increase might just be hype to get these M7 Z06's moving off the lots before the A8's hit and no one buys the M7s

When playing around with the supplier discount, tried Z06, it didn't show a supplier discount a few weeks ago. Did it today and sure enough, supplier pricing was available. Not sure if old news.

A base Z06 at supplier price would be a lot of bang for the buck

No kidding on it looking like the supply part exceeding demand; look at McMulkin Chevrolet in NH with 151 currently in their inventory and Kerbeck showing 99 in their inventory!!! Whaaaaaaat!!! I know they move a lot of cars, but wow!!

Why wouldn't the raise the MSRP, they could always do a owners loyalty rebate incentive and or rebates to get rid of them as sale's stall, GM did it on the C6's. I think most of the Z06 buyers are waiting for the A8's, so they may have to offer Supplier / CU for the low demand M7's soon.

Look for that to be taken off of the site after the holiday's. I spoke to a few people in Detroit and they all said the Z06 absolutely does not qualify for Employee or Supplier pricing at this time and it shouldn't be on the site.

I know Porsche has some things stated and shown on their site, which were in fact wrong, and I know a few people who got some nice checks in the mail direct from Porsche because of it. You would think big corps have a better QC process then to let this stuff get published if actually not right.

The Z06 guys say the site shows a supplier price discount but the Z06 is not included in the supplier discount.

I don’t recall a big price increase on my 2015 Z51, A8 coupe but things got included in Z51 like mag ride and exhaust. Also came out with A8 in spite of saying it wasn’t going to happen to keep selling 14’s. My MSRP was just under $74k.
