Default New incentives March 1st? Better or worse?

Looking to buy a new GS and just want to know if it's worth the gamble to wait for the new incentives March 1st or take whats available now?

I'm thinking the same way. And mine with all discounts available would be 14,500 off msrp.

Im on the fence also, I think they may be the same but maybe worse. Im sitting on 3k loyalty, 4k gm card and just got a private offer 1k this morning. This is on top of the 2k dealer cash. Not counting forum dealers discounted pricing. Im deciding if to pull trigger on a 427 vert. In short I dont think better deals are coming until june if any.

I was told by Chev customer service the private offer and loyalty cannot be used together. I had the USAA rebate and computer kept kicking it out with the loyalty when I got my 2013 GS so they just reduced the selling price the $750 begore the loyalty.

Cant use 2 private offers The 1K is considered a private offer and so is the loyalty.One or the other
Anyway great deals right now.And the selection is shrinking

Because, like me, he may be on the fence. And sadly, I'd end up homeless if I bought both.

As said above.....I don't know how it could get much better. Bought mine from MacMulkin. I saw the car I wanted as part of their incoming inventory (not yet built). Went a head and pulled the trigger. Don't wait so late that you can't find the exact car that you want! As the usual disclaimer.....Tommy Jr. was great to deal with.

Longer you wait the fewer you have to choose from. Just got my new GS from Tommy, Mac Mulkin, much better prices than the ones mentioned here. Ck his site and give him a call.
I don t expect any deals on the C7 for awhile. It will be take it or leave it

vettelover69, if you've found the 13 GS you like and want and they're offering $14,500 off msrp..........what are you waiting for? Who knows for sure what tomorrow brings much less next month. Do it and don't look back or if there's a better deal out there after you buy it. Just Do It.

The longer you wait, the slimmer the pickings.

Because after all the hype and waiting to see the C7 unveiled, I am very discouraged at what GM has presented us with.

I still feel that the C6 Grand Sport is a sexy beast and until GM puts out a better looking vette I will stay with the C6.

Too many sharp lines and not to sound like other disgruntled Corvette owners too much like the Camaro. The rear facia, rear lights and the hood vents are too much like the Camaro.

But to each his own as I'm sure there are people who like the C7 design.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I'm considering a 1LT GS coupe, but I'm not seeing any "fire sale" prices on them. A couple of forum dealers are offering insane deals on base coupes (like this deal). But the best 1LT GS prices are still hovering in the mid-40s. That's not low enough for me to crack open the checkbook.

I would rather wait it out and take my chances that the incentives will get better. It's only February. The worst thing that can happen for me is I don't find what I want and have to buy a used Z06 instead.
