Educator discount
Has anybody ever used the GM educator discount on a new Corvette? I'm curious as to how much it was and how accepting the dealer was of you using it.

Best of luck, though. What level do you teach?

most of the salesman I met at the local dealerships likely never made it to the 11th grade. Kerbeck's all went to grad school as I suspect MacMulkin's, Mike Furman, Conte and a few others did as well!

My dealer used the educator's discount as part of my overall discount so they didn't have to fund that out of their margin. Not sure why a dealer wouldn't let GM "fund" that part of the discount for buyers who qualify instead of taking a hit to their margin. I bought my 2019 Z06 at 16% off MSRP back in May.

Thanks. You're not kidding about being tough! I come home, lay on the floor and shake every day. I hear the only cure is Corvette! On the search for one!

I was married to the big Corvette web sites for 6 months. December was absolutely the best month for buyers! Got one at a 93K MSRP for 72.5K. Now the same car is 81K at various dealers with discounts. (still a good deal)
With that said stay vigilant with your searches and you will eventually come up with a suitable deal. But act fast as the inventories are shrinking, but not as much as last month with the all the good deals.
