What Dealership Gives the Best Deal on Ordering New?
OK
What dealer takes the highest % off of MSRP when ordering NEW?
I was told by one of the largest dealers it is 11% off of MSRP when ordering new.
Thanks

It varies. You have to call around. But price isn't everything. You have to consider service and who will bird dog your order when something goes amiss. Some are just order takers and you'll never hear from them. Others are more on top of your order and will keep you informed.

Also some dealers may charge dealer processing fees, etc and others don't. Make sure you know out the door price.

Criswell, Kerbeck and Macmulkin are about the same when you are talking out the door prices paying cash or going through your own bank or credit union but Kerbeck is the only one that constantly offers 1.99 percent for 72 months.

I say anyone, but California. In here they try to sodomize
you and it is on the contract for you to know it before it happens.
I ordered mine thru a dealer in Madison, Wisconsin

I would call Mike at Criswell, especially if you have a trade in.

Best price, absolutely best service and communicator, and he is an Ambassador to the National Corvette Museum. He is in his 40th year selling and personally delivering Corvettes. He is annually the #1 most prolific Corvette salesperson to ever walk the planet. GM sent him to be with the Corvette Racing Team at the 24 hours of Lemans in both 2011 and 2012 as the nations top Corvette sales rep, and he has never looked back.

I'm not going to criticize any forum dealer. After all, they help keep this forum going, but be careful when you declare that "X" has the "best price." It's a fluid market and prices change. You owe it to yourself to contact a few dealers before you commit.

Reviving this thread to rant about some other dealer's tactics...
They post "internet price" and when I call in I get "oh.. You don't qualify for that price. That's for a retired vet that's gone back to college and owns a corvette and also works for GM part time.... For you we can do 5% off"

when I looked for a new Corvette last year, I gave my specs to the top 5 Corvette sales dealers. 2 of the 5 were extremely pleasant, friendly,and, knowledgable.
Mike Furman,Criswell, was the one that I ordered from. I got the highest trade in from them, too.
So, I drove 850 miles to do the deal,and, it was exactly 30 days from ordering to actual pickup by me.

Factor in a few more bucks in their price and dealer fees vs. our price with no fees and our avg lowest finance rate and it becomes a complete wash. Many times with a slightly higher rate you still end up saving money by shopping through MacMulkin. My after-sales support is top notch. Every customer leaving the door has an open invitation to call me at anytime if they need me. We all support the Corvette brand but we have to play on different teams to do it. I am happy to see the top dealers all fighting to keep the Vette relevant going into the next generation. Being a younger guy, I know how important it is to keep the under 35 crowd dreaming of 4 tail lights at night.

As with all 5 Vettes I have owned always order exactly what I wanted. I used Courtesy Deliver so picked it up 30 miles from home!
Great folks to do business with. The price quoted is exactly what I paid no hidden extras. They took care of all paperwork and sent me prepaid return envelops for paperwork I needed to sign. They arranged the temp license plate. The Courtesy Delivery dealer did not have to do anything extra or charge me more than their $250 fee. They get paid by GM for the preparation and in my case installing the Stage 2 aero package ordered and paid for when I ordered the car.
My local Chevy dealer service department is happy to work on my car! They could care less if I bought it from them or not! Today with prices on the Net, folks looking to pay no more than ~$200 over dealer cost etc etc they make their money on service, parts, financing and body shop! Brought the Grand Sport when it had 400 miles and the suspension had settled to the large Chevy, BMW, Mercedes Dealer in town and they were glad to adjust all my cambers to where I wanted for reduced tire wear, all paid for by GM! They did find one toe out of spec and adjusted all to centerline in the broad GM specs.
Now, discounts vary with time of year etc and with Bowling Green shut down they are not as deep but look all the time, they change!
