Default Employee pricing?

So far no employee pricing on 2026's. It was there on 25's but do not know if it was there for the whole model year or started toward the end. I'll wait for the discount but sure hope it is soon. Any thoughts on when it will come? TIA

IMO, they only brought it out to clear out the ‘25’s since it was known the ‘26 was getting an interior refresh and some people might wait…I wouldn’t hold my breath for any discounts until they at least see how well the ‘26’s are selling, or the C8 GS gets announced and then Stingray sales start taking a hit again…

I am not sure how much GMs employee pricing is but I think that the discounts I saw in Aug/Sept on 2025s was more then you would get with the GM discount....

I got 8% off from Les Stanford, basically matching the MacMulkin offer. The assumption was that I would provide a supplier discount code as part of the deal, but like others have said, no employee/supplier pricing yet on 2026's. Les Stanford just honored the 8% discount even though the supplier pricing was not available.

My point? You can get a discount greater than supplier pricing right now. Not as good as employee pricing however.

GMS is about 8.5% off. Aug/Sep they had a 3k Costco rebate you could stack on top of GMS. They where giving stingrays away $750/800 lease payments.

Yeah, GMS is a little more than the 8% MM is offering. And with MM I'd have to deal with the extra fee when I use a courtesy dealer near me. Ideally, I get GMS price near me. I do want a 2026 but don't want to wait 10 months for that to kick in. Decision decisions. I am starting to see some new ones available on dealer lots. A few more of those build up and GM may be tempted to honor GMS pricing.

I have been following the Costco discount for months....not once in the past 3 months have I seen a discount offered for a vette.

I was able to get supplier discount with zero hassle at Caughlin on my 26 although he did mention the other day they were no longer able to give the supplier discount for some reason. I was already locked in. For reference MSRP was 95k and discount took it down to 88k. I’m sure there are better discounts out there but I was happy with that.

Patience will be your reward. Remember 19 20% discounts on 19 Zs? Discounts going up not down.

If would have been $87,400 at MM....add $500 for local dealer delivery and it seems like a wash between the current MM discount and GMS....

I mean, assuming GMS is a little lower then 8% you are talking worst case less then $1K more for the MM deal including local dealer delivery. Is it really worth waiting....IDK

Default MacMulkin Discount

I ordered from MM in 2024 and received 10% off. In fact, someone on this forum was just shy of calling BS on me. I backed it up with the invoice they emailed me to the thread.
There was a mad run at MM after I shared this info on this forum by members ordering. The promo was for a short duration, and I never even received a commission lol. It brought the final price down $8600.00. I had it delivered to a dealership within 53 miles of me for an additional $500.00. I was going to do the museum delivery and sort of regret not doing it for an additional $1400.00 but the timing wasn't good for me.
I was very happy with the whole transaction. MM are pros at what they do. Local dealers couldn't even do MSRP. Employee discount? I'd be shocked if they gave you $8600 off.

I am sure...when I was looking at possible a 2025 MM stock back in Aug/sept, they were giving anywhere from 10K to $15.5K off sticker...it is hard to not do biz with MM, they make it so easy and painless. Even the reps are no pressure and hands down the most knowledgeable about the cars, options, ordering....

Not sure how GM does but I know Toyota employees get so much per year So if you know someone that works there ask if they used their code and if not if they allow a family member to use. I know that on the Chrysler side Canada give about 1000 more. I believe that if you have Farm Bureau. They give an extra 500 too. They switch brands every so often

The purchase price only hurts once, enjoying the car lasts a long time.
