Default Forum Vette Dealers: Are their listed prices negotiable?

The Corvette dealers that advertise on the Forum, like Kerbeck and Macmulkin, have very good prices listed for their Corvette inventory. Have any of those that have purchased from these dealers, negotiated prices lower than those listed, particularly for Z06's and 427's?

Thanks

A lot of times they state that they are not negotiable, but it doesn't hurt to ask! You should call them up, the forum dealers are the best.

A lot of those prices are the absolute lowest those cars can possibly be sold for. In many cases it includes incentives that not everybody is qualified for (such as a loyalty incentive).

It certainly doesn't hurt to ask, but don't be surprised if you don't receive a response either. Remember, those dealerships still have to make money in order to continue to sell cars to you.

I fully agree that these Forum dealers deserve to make a good living. And their listed prices are fantastic. Just curious if I went for a Z06 or 427 if there was any additional room.

Thanks

Everything in life is negotiable AT THE RIGHT time. I think that the forum guys are negotiated out on price, and at this point are just looking to sell to keep their allocation for the new C7 as high as possible by selling at rock bottom prices. They will make their margins back next year. That being said, if they have one thats been on their lot for a long time collecting dust, maybe a tad more, but not thousands by any means.

Add Coughlin outside of Columbus to your call list. Ask for Terry Goodin. They are #4 and looking to grow their corvette business. Like others say.... it never hurts to ask. My son-in-law is in the business and says almost everyone asks, even when he is running fire sales.
