What do you predict would be the ballpark price and is the ME a given for 2020? TIA

65-70k for a base coupe/stingray. Probably 100-110k for the Z06 whenever that would come out. Base price that is. ZR1... a lot.

I was at the dealer yesterday and was told they will offer both body styles for a few years with expectations the ME will be a high-end model most likely well over $100K. We shall see.

I'm fairly certain the dealers don't have any sort of insider information around pricing yet.

CRAIGSLIST is selling ME?

Never been in the rain, all service records, original owner is member of Nigerian royalty. Can’t go wrong there...

If the dealer told you that then you can just about guarantee it was incorrect info. No dealer knows anymore about this car than we do, I'd say most of us on here know more than your typical dealers does. Look at the ZR1 that just released, no one had any idea of the exact price or specs on the car until it was released. Not even the dealers. The same will be true with this.

the ad is real; it's from a salesman named Nino at Carter Northshore GM in Vancouver, Canada.

That salesperson is trolling for future customers, trying to build his waiting list now. Interesting that the listing does not state for Canadian customers only. Of course, it has lots of weasel words that do not guarantee much for the buyer, i.e., he is offering a product he does not even own — so buyer beware.

And his dealership is not a supporting vendor of the forum.

75k, +/- 5K, jan. 13, 2019 unveiling as a 2020 model, but i hope blb078 is right on the price.

senah

his ad is on craigslist, posted for Vancouver, Canada. He is doing nothing wrong. the ad was copy/pasted on this site by someone who is a member of this site, not the salesman.

i called his number to check the authenticity to clear up the bs that so often comes with members' comments on these types of posts. nobody was looking for free advertising; he didn't even know this site exists.

Rapid Fred

You are actually defending this ad?

Even if the ad is “real” my snarky comment is much more legitimate than the ad...

senah

nothing about your comment is correct, so i don't see how you can make that claim.

it is an ad on craigslist.ca placed by an employee of a canadian gm dealer in vancouver, canada and was not put on this corvette forum site by them.

I posted just out of curiosity heck I don't even own a corvette, have when I was younger. I was fairly sure ad came from Dueck or some one was pulling our chain. Obviously they want pre-orders..just bussiness.

GM indicated through leaks several years ago the C8 would run concurrently with a C7 model for a couple of years. Supposedly the C7 model will be the ZR1. I suspect the C8 offerings will be similar to the C7 when it started its run with a little bit of an inflation boost off from the previous versions models.

Production costs of most cars are about the same. It costs the same amount of money to make a high end truck as it does to make a low end econo car. The ME will be the same way. The only difference will be where the engine comes up under the body at the marriage point.

They will want production to ramp up quickly and the best way to do that is to build cars that will sell to more Customers.

If they went the opposite way and sold regular C7s and a high end option C8 they would never get production off the ground. A high price would guarantee low production that might kill the product. Once the car is in production nobody is going to want to purchase the C7 low end models so why make them? People wouldn't purchase the C7s as they are yesterday's news and the C8 would be too expensive.

lostsoul

I'm not getting it. If the c8 is suppose to run along with the c7 and the c8 comes out in 2020(2019) then c7 will come out till 2022?

Lets see 2018 c7( HD radio)
2019 c7 (0w-40)
2020-21-22 c7 ? (redesigned floor mats, New colors, taller spoiler. faster power windows). ??

No offence but GM needs to kill the off the c7 soon. They need to get something out there new with the A10 ASAP.

I tend to buy a new model series after a few years out, seems to payoff a little in less repairs but could just be luck of the draw.

They're attempting to sell their allocation. But they don't even know if they'll get an allocation; just jumping on the buzz train. . .

If they get the car, they just sold it at MSRP which still put's plenty of money in their pockets. . .

If they don't, buyer took all the risk, they just made years of interest on your deposit. . .

Plenty of forum members who were strung along by greedy dealers selling cars they never received an allocation for; that's why it's best to go through the forum sponsors or dealers that have their proverbial **** together. . .ie ones that don't sell corvettes on craigslist.

My old car '15 Z51 2LT COMP SEATS,PDR A8 etc. was $75,055 on the sticker. I hope the ME I want is not too much more than $90.000

I love it when ANYBODY says NEVER BEEN IN THE RAIN. Unless that car was wrapped in bubble wrap it's a good bet that it rained at the factory, on the train on the truck and on the dealer lot unless it was NEVER outside. NOT all dealers have the capability to keep them inside like some larger dealers say they do
