So...has anyone taken delivery yet? I thought I would see a few delivery videos popping up on youtube but surprised nothing so far.

 

Probably be another week or two until you'll start to see customers taking delivery. Feb. 20th is the absolute earliest I would expect them personally.

 

They've said a few times it won't be until late Feb at the earliest for customer deliveries. Shouldn't expect any yet.

 

Complete Street Performance is supposed to be getting a pre production but with VIN number C8 very soon. Should be fun to see.

 

Expect the wave starting late this month, lots getting full at the plant.

 

Actually they said next week last week.

 

No one knows because its up to quality control... If no issues come up then possibly next week or the week after. Definitely not long!

 

I'm sure Kerbeck and a few of the other volume dealers will post video of the first truckloads of customer ordered cars arriving at their dealerships as soon as the cars get there. It won't be a mystery of when the cars start getting to their owners.

 

New Corvettes will come to Arizona initially by rail, then trucked to dealers.

According to a local GM, they expect them sometime after Feb 26–March 1.

2021 Production will start in August with a $7500 increase in base price with 2LT bumped about two grand.

 

Here's to the folks that didn't want the problems of first year Corvettes.

 

Full lot means nothing, GM will store the cars off site like they have before.

 

I hope your wrong about $7500 price increase if so I'm out

 

Where's is he coming up with the increase price7500$? A guess?

 

Pure conjecture at this point...until something is officially posted it's only heresay.

Production for 2021s is September...

GM may be going back to trucking all Corvettes to dealers because of shipping delays and a high rate of damage claims by rail

GM will never raise the price $7,500 + another $2,000 for the 2LT for 2021? If GM did that more than half the customers would cancel their orders? Remember GM has to built and sell this car for 6 years before the C9 comes out? GM target production number is 35,000-40,000 cars per year? That could never happen with a price increase of $7,500. Your dealer or salesperson is clueless.

In 2014 a base 1LT Corvette had an MSRP of $51,995.00 six years later a 2019 base 1LT Corvette has a base price of $56,995.00 It took 6 years for the car to go up $5,000.00 and with a whole new car in the C8 it only went up $3,000 from 2019 to 2020?

 

In Canada they started the c7 in 2014 at $52995 CAD and raised it to $62995 in 2015. They raised it again to $64995 in 2016 and finally ended it at $67445 in 2019. As you can see there is a substantial price difference between the first and last year of production, in Canada anyway. That's why a 2020 C8 is a must here before prices go up.

 

I do remember saving a **** load of money with my 2014 versus a couple years later. I got mine with every option but stripes and black mirrors/spoiler for $78K. To option out a 2019 Stingray it was over $100K.

To be fair though, those prices were all over the place due to the Exchange rate. The dollar was at par when the Stingray was just coming out.

I respectfully disagree. First of all, the $59,995 price of the base model was hailed as totally remarkable and unbelievable. So many people asked...How could they possibly offer a mid-engine for that price? I have no idea what the price increase will be, but even if it is $7,500, too many people would still see it as an absolute deal. Think about it this way - if the C8 had initially been introduced at $67,495, folks wouldn't have given that price a second thought. And you say that more than half of the customers would cancel their order. Really? If the C8 is such a good deal, you and I both know that it isn't going to happen. To the people that can afford a new C8, a price increase won't keep them from buying, unless they have to borrow 90% of the purchase price to get into one. And if that's the case, those folks are buying a car way out of their price range to begin with.

 

I really think that is more of a thing of the past.
I have a 2015 Lexus rcf. Vin number 500 very early production number first year of a completely new car.
I’ve driven it 70 thousand miles. Only replace the tires and brakes . Oil changes and filters that it.
