I Took a chance they will be better than april. My car was in and they could've punched it for April but I took my chances they get better with large amounts of inventory and 2018s coming.

The May numbers will be out on May 2nd.

I am wondering the same thing. Should I pull the trigger on a Z06 tomorrow or just wait a couple weeks?

I have GS ordered with a TPW 5/15. I'm thinking Corvette loyalty will stay and I don't see any 0 % financing for 17's yet ,may be 0 % in AUG , but one can always hope for O%. A couple day's more and we all should know May incentives.

Found this info on another forum very interesting (it was presented during the NCM bash)

Change in rate of production after the 13 week shut down, will be the reduction of producing the current 17.2 Corvettes per hour to 12 cars per hour! This will mean that all employees will then have 5 minutes to do their jobs compared to the current 3 minutes. However, this is not resulting in time for employees to now rest for two minutes on each car, for every employees' job and scope of work will be changed
With fewer cars produced it might result in fewer incentives.

Another way to look at it is the 18s will be out soon. So there could be some decent incentives for 17s. I thought they were great for April. I'm just not able to pick one up until late May. I have my fingers crossed as I don't want to wait much longer.

I like the April J57 incentive. I am not sure it will last, but I don't really need the carbon brakes so might opt for cheaper car anyway.

I am thinking a conquest rebate may become avaiable - if you have another car brand in the household you qualify. Typically $1000 and loyalty could go up to $3000 as it has in the past.

I don't recall loyalty going to $3k last year, but that would be really cool. I already used my other brand car last year, not sure I can use it again.

So, the car you order is eligible for any rebates active at the time it's produced and not at the time of order ?

Yeah, in order for incentives to be applied a vehicle must have a VIN.

You can claim incentives at time of production or time of delivery if you order it and depending on how flexible your dealer is.

Default you always get your best deal,,,

when you bargain on a car on the lot,,if you are ordering to get the exact car you want you won't get much of a deal,,,have financing in place,,,find one on the lot in the right color and more options than you want and start grinding,,tell them you don't want some of the options but you will take it for the right price,,,they won't let you leave,,,you have control until you say yes,,,,don't be in a hurry

"Must take delivery by" is a pretty standard phrase - it is my belief that incentives are "claimed" and applied when the customer picks up the car.
