Yeah it’s a bit crazy, dealers are taking advantage of the limited supply but once more C8’s start shipping the markup will go away.

If someone was willing to give you $116k for your $82k car would you take it?

MSRP - suggested.

Why don't you just invest a few million dollars in a Chevy store and you can do whatever you want!

All dealers are private! They can charge what they want!

Also I have been waiting for this to happen! Check out Kerbeck new 2019 inventory! No Verts, No base cars, No Z51's, No Z06's! Only 5 or 6 Grand Sport Coupes and no standard shifts. If someone wants a new Vette they can order a 2021 C8 and get it mid next year!

Their choice, especially if they want a standard shift in mint condition- is used! Have my 2017 Grand Sport M7 with ~9000 miles for sale and as expected with new 2019's finally getting all sold, getting lots if inquiries! Although I have it listed on the Forum, don't expect much as never got leads from the Forum for the other 4 I've sold. My leads are coming from Autotrader.

Yep, if you want a quality used Vette and a standard shift not so easy to find! Not in a rush as hopefully will get my C8 in August/September but willing to sell.

Lots of extra's!

Hardly a first or solitary example... anyone remember the Ford GT? Same-same.

Manufacturers couldn't care less, hence dealers can ask what they want. Potential customers can move on... simple.
