I agree. The OP is within $1500 of this car having a "Forum Dealer" type price. If it's everything you want and you aren't making any compromises, then go for it.

Contrary to what some people believe, there is no fire sale on new C6s right now. The standard C6 rebate has been unchanged for months...and the current offers aren't due to be updated until September 3rd. My guess is the fire sale will start when C7s start showing up at the dealers.

Seems like all the best deals are usually closer to the coasts. But Les Stanford (Detroit) and Coughlin (near Columbus) come to mind as extremely competitive mid-west Corvette dealers.

Whatever you do, get it before she changes her mind. You should know that a woman has never fully made up her mind until the time has passed. Whatever you do, don't tick her off until the vette is IN HAND!

Based upon member "ButWhatDoIKnow" I called Frontier Chevrolet in El Reno, OK has two new GS for $15,000 off. Both white.....according to their ad. They one left Grand Sport coupe left. They will sell it to me for the 54,888. here's the catch its a damn dealer demo...so every joe lunch box who showed any interest in the corvette drove it liked they stole it...no thanks...it's been violated now..ha ha..besides the car has 2500 miles on it. I'm guess those weren't baby miles put on it.
My dealer here in the Midwest is offering me 1.55 interest rate for 72months ...we're also putting down a nice size down payment.

Fellow member Top_Fuel is correct ...there isn't a fire sale going on...The dealers can only go soo low on the current corvettes. Top Fuel is probably correct additional rebates will take place over Labor Day weekend, but by then one would have to settle with what is left on the dealers lot instead of finding the one you like. Yes..I know buying a corvette is a stupid purchase and there's better things to spend your money on..but damn I've always like corvettes since being a little kid, and we're luckily enough to be in a spot to afford it. Also why work soo f..ing hard if one can't enjoy their success.

Ya know, it seems to me that you've done all the research that is reasonable. Grab the car you want now before it's gone.

Every one is always left with the feeling that they paid too much after buying a new car. If you are overpaying, it's by a very minimal amount.

Life's too short, get it, enjoy it, now!

Bought mine for 48600,after rebates.You don't own a Vette so put back 3 grand I think it was so 51600 is what you should pay at most. on a car with Msrp at 63300. your car is 68,5 grand so 53 grand.

Dream Waver ...Here
not08crmanymore
Doesn't say what his car has for options ...He thinks I should pay no more than 53000...kinda hard when the base price without options is in the 54-55 range ....I'm started to think some of people here think buying a corvette is like a buying a Honda or a Toyota ....People if you find the car you like you and you're happy with the deal get it ..I'm not crazy about putting 1500miles right away on my new baby if bought outta state

Bought my 11 GS JSB 2LT, about this time 2 yrs ago for 52k w/ 1.9% financing, doesn't sound like a good deal. Criswell in MD has a huge inventory, largest in area. Look on autotrader for new cars there as well, can negotiate shipping or fly and drive back. You shouldn't be paying more than 54, with the C7 coming out soon, they need to make room for those.

Just looked at Criswell's inventory, they have a torch red 2LT convertible for 57, have 4LT 60th anniversary for 61.

It's not apples to apples, but I bought a 2013 1LT GS about a month ago. MSRP was $57.8K, and my price was $44K. After taxes, it was $47.7K, so I got it for $10.1K off. I feel like that was a really good deal based on my research. The dealer might have made a couple hundred bucks. If you're not familiar, look at fightingchance.com and ask for the $40 package with all the actual dealer costs, rebates, factory holdback, etc. Well worth the money, even if only for the peace of mind.

But if you've already waited most of your life to have a 'Vette, you have buy-in from HouseCom, you can afford it, and the car is RIGHT THERE... I say go buy your dream. In five years you won't care about a couple grand, but you'll smile every time you walk up to it at the far end of the parking lot.

15% off of MSRP sounds about right. Sounds like a good deal. Especially if it's the one you want.

About 3k too high based on Macmulkin and Kerbeck pricing. If you are ok spending an additional 3k for the convenience of buying local than go for it. Also at this point you may not find the exact car you want as inventory is thin.

Mac Mulkin is very up front with the pricing on their website. I bought from them and paid exactly what their website said pus I got the 3k loyalty as a current corvette owner. I would use their prices as "the best you will probably find" and make your decision from there. I seem to recall that the magnetic ride was typically not common in the 2 LT cars.

I wouldn't expect the local dealers to match the Mc Mulkin price because I doubt they do the same volume. If you found a car you like, and the price is fair and it is convenient, then buy it. Better to spend a few dollars more and get what you want. Good luck.

You said 2013 GS 2LT.They all have the same options I think,no? Mine was 63 grand w/nav and painted top,6spd. Bought it for 48600 before any trades. If yours stickers for more just equate the same discount..minus the owner loyalty.
