Further, when I purchased my C7 back in 2014, it carried a window sticker of $70K and I paid $63K, a savings of $7K which equates to 10% off. So again, how did I land that deal? (Again, not trying to be argumentative, just trying to learn).
That's not what he said. He said; "3% of total sales net, before taxes." You didn't read that?

There's no denying; "people don't want manual transmissions," or, that; convertibles are harder sells. But the fact of the matter is that manual transmission used C7 Corvette convertibles command higher resale dollars, and are in scarce supply. Which is why they command higher dollars on the used market
