Local Chevy dealer asking $99,500 for 60th 427
Took a ride to Little River SC yesterday and stopped at the Chevrolet dealership there. He had about 6 Corvettes mostly GS'S and one 427 60th anniversary convertible. The 60th 427 had an MSRP of 91k and change and they have a market adjustment price of $99,500 on it!!
Only can imagine what his C7 prices will be like!

^ I'm thinking there must be no TV, Radio, Internet, Newspapers or Word of Mouth in Little River, SC whereby a Chevy Dealer might be alerted to market values . . . . .
PS: It's now ON SALE on their web site - reduced to $96,339 - MSRP $91,340
PS-PS: He also has 2 -2013 Grand Sports and a 2012 Coupe - those you can buy for full MSRP

perhaps the owner doesnt want to sell it, hence the price. there are a multitude of reasons why folks do things, but its freedom on both sides. he is free to price it, we are free to shop elsewhere.

Market adjustment reminds me of 2006 when I wanted to order a new z06 and the best the local dealers would do was MSRP + $25,000. They wouldn't even honor GM Employee discounts on any vette. I ended up ordering a 2007 C6 base and a Trailblazer SS for about the same money. 2 for 1, and one for each season

Sounds reasonable to me. He's getting top dollar for the last of the classic looking Corvettes.

I flew there from CO last week to pick up there 2nd to last 427 (Cyber Gray). Mine also had the $5K acquisition fee making it go from $93.6 to $98.6. When we talked prices we started at the actual MSRP w/o the acq fee. I used the GSU discount, factory rebate and loyalty rebate getting it down to $81K out the door.

I'll be in Myrtle the weekend of Sept 13th. Any Corvette or car stuff to do?
To the OP, when I was shopping back in 08 my step mom saw what I wanted on the show room where she was having her car serviced. Gave the sales guy my name and phone number and he never called me.. Then on another occasion a sales guy won't leave me alone with the what will it take to sell you a car today crap... Makes you wonder...

I tried to buy a 50th AE from local dealer. Was told the cost would be sticker price + $5k NON-REFUNDABLE deposit.
I laughed and asked again. Was given the same answer.
That car sat in his showroom for a long, long, long time.

I find it hard to believe that forum members even contemplate buying locally when you have forum sponsors who have the absolute best rock bottom prices available on new Corvette's. I wanted to spend my money at the local Chevy dealer when I was in the market for my Z06, however the local dealership couldn't come close to the deal I got from Tommy Jr. They claimed they would be losing $5K if they sold it for the price I got it for from MacMulkin.

Yes, I know that is improbable.

Remember, there are Corvette virgins out there that don't know the forum dealers.
