I was originally looking at a used 2015/2016 Z51 and after my last post you all got me thinking of a new Grand Sport. Some of the forum dealers have cars for $56-$57k. My local dealer has the car listed below and I'm having a friend who works there see what his GM could do on the price. What does everyone think would be a good deal on the car? I told him he could probably get me out the door with it at $58k. Thoughts?

Depends. Do you own a Corvette now that qualifies for the $2k loyalty bonus. What is the tax rare in your state? $58K out the door seems like a steal, but that deapnds on your tax rate and the Corvette loyalty eligibility.

Nice choice of color. If your in roughly the 12% off range your doing pretty good.

I do qualify for the Corvette loyalty. Right now they're offering me NADA trade value on my '08 Z51 3LT with 51k miles($21,500) and they're at $62,500 on the Grand Sport. Tax rate is 8.75% in this part of Kansas. Regardless of where I buy it, I'll have to pay Kansas tax when I register.

$58K out the door is just not realistic in my opinion. Figure max 12% off MSRP and then the $2K rebate. With taxes, fees, registration, etc you are probably pushing $62K out the door. Yes there are $57-58K GS'S out there but this one has over $2K in upgrades. if you can find a GS without the $2K in options you might be able to get closer to $60K.

I just picked up my red GS M7 last week with PDR and the heritage package and full heritage stripe for $60k out the door....msrp was $70,500

15% off I pretty much had to buy it.

Personally, $58K out the door seems like a very good price, considering the sales tax rate in Junction City (over 9%, correct?). So, if you love the car, get it. (I think the color is awesome.)

The most important thing is that you love the car: if you don't love this particular car, any price will seem expensive in a month. Color right? 1LT the package you want? 7MT? If so, get it and enjoy.

Yellow is the fastest color. Why else would it be called Corvette Racing Yellow!

Herein lies the problem Tyler. The GS's you see priced at 56K-58K are at the big volume dealers that get more incentives from GM than your local low volume Vette dealer. For example Clark list 3 new ones, and Criswell in Maryland list 119. The smaller dealers sometimes just can't do a make down that great, and still make a profit. My guess is Mike Furman at Criswell will sell more Vettes in a month than Clark can sell in a year.

However, there's no harm in trying to get them that low. Good luck.

Congrats! Did you get it for $58k OTD?

Congrats man, these cars are amazing! Had mine a little over a week and can't stop smiling.

$60,500, they were higher than some of the volume dealers but it was easier to trade my '08 locally. They were really only $1000 higher than others for the same car so it was worth the convenience and I feel good about doing business locally.

There was some rain rolling in so I drove it the 20 miles home and parked her. But damn it was a great 20 miles! There was a raccoon flailing in the middle of the highway on the way home, I think he'd just been hit. I saw him and had a second to react, and my goodness does this thing hug the highway. My truck would've rolled, the GS goes, "That's all you've got?!"

Congratulations Tyler. I know you will love the car.
