February 2014 Corvette Sales total 2,438
GM released the sales numbers for February 2014:
February 2014: 2,438 February 2013: 980 January 2014: 2,261 YTD Increase: 148.8% MTM Increase: 7.8% http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2014/...orvette-sales/ |
great news; and not unexpected.

Not bad, considering the weather out East. Long way to get to 30K-40K projected, though.
|
Would be interesting to understand what the plant capacity is and what % of that is produced and sold.

Not really. Even at 2,200 a month, that's still over 26,000 for the year. Considering they've only had winter months to sell the car and that half the country won't drive a Corvette this time of year, I would assume sales will pick up quite a bit this month, next month and into summer.

I expect a big spring sales number, people have cabin fever with the colder then normal winter. What better way to break out and enjoy warmer weather then with a new vette.

Looks right in line.
I wouldn't expect much from GM regarding incentives via rebate. Maybe finance incentives or alike. Dealers might take more off, but GM will not be giving much if any money--no need. |
That number would of been higher if GM filled those allocations for the people that had cars on order from the smaller dealerships.

Here we go again. Same old story, screw the little guy and kiss the butt of the big one. Meanwhile all those cars are sitting on lots unsold because they don't have the Z51 package, and the people that put up a deposit at a small dealer can f themselves.

Figure that they are building around 3250 a month and subtract 2,438 from that. Easy to see what percentage they are not selling each month vs the number being built. Hint: 25%

So what this tells me is after 10 pages of explanation, you learned nothing.
"Who needs facts when I have a perfectly good opinion" If two people were being mugged, one looks to be well off and the other looks to be just the average guy, I'll help the well off person because I might be rewarded and screw the other guy because he probably can't afford to give a reward. Do you get my meaning? I understand rewarding the "big" dealerships with more allocations, but the small dealerships need to be treated better than they are. |

Do you have a source for the 3,250
Even if they are building 3572 a month that would make the percentage of sold cars to built cars even worse, meaning that there are even more unsold cars on the dealer's lots. |

Anyway, its been over discussed enough on here. If you care to debate more, pm me. Either way, hope you get the car you want :) |

Glad GM is filling their orders first--mine will be coming off the line in a few weeks :thumbs: No more beating this horse into the ground. |
So as expected the market is being flooded which simply means the 14's are already dropping like the Titanic. Anyone who wants a new C7 should wait for the 15's to arrive unless you're getting 7-10k off the window.

I think currently they are averaging 115 cars a day, which works out 2,875/month - nowhere near 3,250. As for unsold inventory, it is less than you think. Kerbeck has 27 coupes and 35 convertibles in stock, which is 2 weeks of allocations; MacMulkin has 32 coupes and 14 convertibles in stock, which is also about 2 weeks of allocations. Two weeks of inventory this time of year isn't a lot, and that is the reason prices have remained pretty firm. |
