I post in sarcasm, but the thread itself is no BS.

I admit I missed your sarcasm in your first post, now it makes sense!

Or you be smart and buy a year or two old car from a guy that got raped on MSRP+markup and get it for below MSRP with still a factory warranty.
I'll NEVER understand people paying more than MSRP for something and dealers marking cars up "because they can". It's the dumb people paying those prices that have dealers continue to do it.
Don't give up OP. Car prices will drop...just like gas, houses, wood, and damn near everything else.

This is the best C8 thread I've read in a while.
5 to 10 million in assets? hahahahahahahaha 1 million in cash on hand?
Will be interesting to see if the OP ever posts again.

If you read his OP word for word, you can tell that most of his money has already gone into more cars and mods than you can keep up with. Personal finance is 90% behavior. Knowing and keeping your financials working toward that goal of a new C8. None of which seems to be happening....

That's hog wash. I'm not close to that and I had no problem establishing my budget and following my plan. And I got a loaded HTC Z51

Capster78, Welcome to the forum & thank you for your service!.....unfortunately many dealers are trying to gouge people buying the C8's. The only thing that I would suggest is ordering from one the dealers mentioned in this thread that charge msrp

Thank you for your Service, and hate to see you not living your dream, but others say it also PI isn't a place for Corvette, and if you had one, have found places to repair it, they do break, and even here members in the USA will tell nightmare stories.Aim High, Go Air Force!

To further breathe some fire into this thread. I also blame many of you who paid the mark up, or flipped your car for a profit. This 17 year military member thanks you for putting an otherwise affordable car out of reach for us military peasants.
