Default C7 GS 2Lt

Getting ready to purchase a 2017GS coup auto with 2lt package from Kerbeck in A.C. Any ideas on what I should expect to pay under MSRP? Any advice is appreciated also. Been 10 years since I bought my last Bette, 2006 vert, bought brand new at Kerbeck.

Hard to say on the GS. Best way to compare prices is to look at the other forum vendors. Should give you an idea. Good luck.

Are you guys getting those discounts from in stock GS's or can you get that on an ordered GS?

Your timing of purchase could be key. As was said above compare other forum dealers to see what discount they are getting. Price out car if ordering or find car in a dealers inventory figure out what the price would be getting the best discount being offered at any dealer . Choose the dealer you want to deal with first . Then work your way on the deal. Regarding timing I have bought most of my vehicles the last two weeks of the year and has always worked out great for me in the past. You will have a couple things going in your favor. Not many people buying car let alone a sports car that time of year, dealers what to end year with less inventory on books.

Love that place.. Joe was awesome and very low pressure. We picked up our GS cheaper then the local dealer wanted for a Z51 Same 2LT package.

FWIW, I bought my C6 from Kerbeck, that had to be ordered - great folks to do business with. Compare there prices with others, I did and it was substantial under. They are the largest Vette dealer for a reason, look at their prices and discounts on their website. The discount for my ordered Vette was essentially the same as the cars they had in stock. They quoted an expensive option for that ordering week, for much less than others.

Negotiating with them is not like dealing with your local dealer or buying a rug! They have very good prices and don't expect you'll get much or any more off!

As will no doubt be the case with my planned GS there will not be one on the lot that is exactly what 'I want, as there wasn't with my C6. They buy cars every week and can get exactly what you want (assuming no constraints) and give you an approximate time for delivery. That is not something a local dealer, who does not have their allocation, can say and be accurate! The car arrived when they estimated.

Check their inventory list..ie coupes, verts, GS's Z06's. If you see something you like, call them. If you don't, call them..what you want/are looking for, may be already "on order". They are not the largest Corvette dealership in the USA for no reason. You can't go wrong with them, or, for that matter, any of the other major forum dealers. Good luck, and, be sure to post a pic when she arrives at your house.

Shop the forum vendors - many times they have the lowest prices you will find.

I bought one a week ago Saturday from Kerbeck that amounted to a 13.25% discount. It was a 2LT, M7, with PDR and red calipers with an MSRP of $73,985. In addition to Kerbeck's discount of $8,303, it was one with a $1,500 Chevrolet rebate.

As jcsperson wrote, I think 13% is the current best deal, assuming that you can get the $1500 thing which may expire soon.

Got mine from MacMulkin.
