If I were to purchase this car what kind of discount do you think I should expect?
Would be trading in a 2017 2LT, A8, Z-51, w/ PDR.
My car has 9500 miles.
12% would do it for me. I should add that I got 10% on my 2019 and was happy but a lot of buyers are getting 12% so ask for 12% and if you get it fine but 10% is enough for me.
I gotta think that with the C8 coming out either 2020 or 2021, they'd give you more than 12%. Curious, why are you trading in a 2017 with less than 10k miles on it? I'd get it if you were bored of the vette and wanted a different car, but it's the same car. You're gonna lose your shirt on that trade-in
As you probably know you will get hit on the trade. I got 12 1/2 % off on an ordered 2019 Z in July but they were going to give me crap on my 2016 Hellcat so I sold it through a broker.
Discount doesn't really matter at this point. If you're trading a car, you have to come up with a difference figure in your mind your comfortable with. They can give you 20% off, but if they give you $40k for your car it doesn't mean crap. If you think the difference should be $30K, stick to it...knowing you'll give a grand or two. Don't get hung up on the selling price of the car.

I don't think it's a good idea to combine trade-in offer and the discount into the negotiations. IMO, for best results, one should work on both individually, preferably before ever stepping into the dealership (yes they'll warn that they can't give you the top dollar without seeing the trade-in), and the discussions should always be on purchase amount; never on monthly payment amount.
