Can the GS guys please advise on what packages these two cars have that I have interest in. Do these have aero packages. Don’t know much about the Grands.

A few more interior pics would help, but both seem to be 2LT, non-zo7 packages. Yes, both have stage 2 aero. One has the alcantara inserts vs the leather inserts.

 

They both appear to have the heritage package as well. Heritage package wasn't anything more than the fender hash marks, hash marks on the dash near the grab handle and different floor mats. I like the 2 tone seats.

 

The window sticker will answer many questions about value and options.Your question is what aero? Factory aero is pricey.Many have upgraded aero with aftermarket.
Some are cheap,some are expensive.
If you don't have a window sticker? I would want to know what is altered and what ain't.
Here is a thread that may help you or others:

It was a link in C8 discussion,just saw that after copy and paste.Worth a try for the C7.It works on other gm vehicles per members posts.
Ohh,Looking at one of the choices seem to be a 2lt package with the black dash.The other seems to be the trouble some 3 lt package with the red batwing trim?But that red could have been added? Happy Hunting

 

Two very nice looking Grand Sports - sharp color combos.

 

Do you think they are priced right at about $65K through $69K each?

 

How Can you tell when it has a Z07 package? Are they more desirable in a GS?

 

You can tell by looking at the brake rotors. The Z07 will have the carbon ceramic which look different. More desirable is a personal preference thing. I don't prefer carbon ceramic brakes or the track suspension myself. Some do.

 

Agree with all of the above, but the splitter and rocker skirts are after market. The spoiler is the Stage two as I have, but my splitter/skirts are OEM (see attached photo) Also, non Z07. Good luck in your search. Let us know WITH PICS when you pull the trigger!

 

Splitter and skirts on car are oem as well. They finally got me window sticker. What do you guys think is a good number for this car?

 

What’s the mileage? What’s the paint condition up close? What’s the interior condition? Any damage?

 

4k miles, paint is 9.9/10, interior same. No damage noted.

 

You may or may not like this, but you’re top-ticking a 17 GS at 69k (I’m assuming this is the lower mileage out of the 2 and they want 69k). Winter’s coming for much of the northern country. That desperation of ‘21 and 22 to “buy at any cost because I can’t find another” is gone at this point. 62k would be my top offer on that car out the door, and that’s still rich. Just my opinion Sir, yours may vary

 

I would tend to agree with you. I was thinking the car shouldn’t be a dollar over $59,000. But then again, I have been out of the Corvette game for a little while. Do you think numbers will drop on these if I wait it out until the new year?

 

If this is your “dream car”, the one you’ve been looking for, I’m certain you won’t be thinking about why you paid $7k more than you should have on your deathbed. However, I don’t think that car cost them more than 53k to add to their fleet. Dealers are in the business of making money (unless we’re talking Carvana and the like which is funded by round after round of Silicon Valley douche bags paying for capital raises while their VC banks are collapsing). How much the dealer decides they want to make on this deal is something you’ll find out if you seriously start negotiating. Buying “cash” may not be the best thing, assuming you have the money, as they like to make something on the financing too. Maybe they’re more willing to negotiate if you’re willing to take on a loan for a few months, then pay it off (make sure there are no early pay penalties)

To answer your question, from what I see on consumer habits data, the huge cash infusions of 20 and 21 are mostly gone. Of course this doesn’t guarantee prices are falling, but we are likely to feel the effects of the Fed hikes in the coming months. Fed hikes always have lag effects. Whether you are a believer of a soft landing or a mild recession, to the average consumer, both of these scenarios will feel pretty much the same. Cut back on spending, concentrate on saving, etc. A corvette buyer is likely not the average consumer, but it’s clear that prices are coming down to earth. Waiting means you miss out on the one you really want, but it also should mean that prices will be more fair on a soon-to-be 7 year old car

 

BOTH are good looking and well equipped cars….personal preference, but a little over priced IMHO


Good luck with whatever you decide! 👍

 

I would agree on the over priced, and will take that into account. Should I pull the trigger with the trade-in of my 911. The first thing I am looking at is what they are giving me on my trade. My offer for either of these two cars would be 59,000. If not, they could keep it.

 

I just closed on a 2019 GS 2LT with 17K on the clock for $61,500. Unless that is your dream car I would keep looking.

 

sweet ride. It has more miles than the ones I am looking at. I figure if I can get mine around your number the. It would be a good deal. Where did you pick it up?

 

It was at a FORD dealership in Illinois. I wouldn't get too hung up on a super low mileage car. Mine has a mileage average a little more than 4K a year. The ones you're looking at have done a lot of sitting, AND those years you're looking at will probably need the transmission triple flush eventually, not to mention having the torque tube looked at. I was primarily looking for a 2019 Sebring Orange with under 20K miles. There are a lot of C7's out there if you do your due diligence. Good advice previously posted is that the further we get into winter the prices will weaken even more. Good luck with your search!!
