This seems to be a problem with well-meaning dealers I have dealt with who are willing to go below MSRP: NO MORE ALLOCATIONS UNTIL SPRING-TIME OR LATER... what is later? the last of the 2005's in June? might as well wait for a 2006... NOT!

I had my best deal "all worked out" for $2500 under MSRP out of a "internet sales manager" in Atlanta (in writing via email...willing to give me a nice deal because I was active duty Navy officer) and when it came time for him to send me the agreement... oops, just checked the computer, so sorry, our dealership just ran out of allocations...would you like to get on the list for Spring or beyond?
I don't know if this is a "bait and swindle" technique that is used by dealers, or just someone who should know better talking out of his "you know what" or just simply lying or uninformed about his business...but it is so frustrating! Maybe he *really* didn't know... one thing is certain...I'll never know, and I don't have a C6!!!

Dealers: PM me if you have allocations left and your willing to go at least $1500 under MSRP!

(You can offer $2500 under MSRP if you want to give me an "active duty military" discount AND Hurricane Ivan Medical Provider discount! )

I'm taking prices and names from those dealers with RIGHT NOW allocations who can PM me an agreement (PDF file or WORD document),

If you need, fill out the agreement form with the information below and your prices, including bottom-line totals.
The best offer gets a signature and an immediate deposit (the car is to be immediately ordered once all constrained items (Victory Red and 1SA) are lifted):

$1000 refundable deposit and no trade-in
No tax/registration (unless dealer in Florida)
No junk fees (No tire/battery disposal fees, No processing fees)
JUST A CLEAN CONTRACT.
Local courtesy delivery to be arranged.

C6 Coupe
Victory Red
Cashmere Int.
6-speed
Z51
1SA

I'm tired of *****-footing around with my particular Chevy dealers with no allocations but promise C6's in the future via crystal ball or at hyped-up "sucker" prices.

Dealers, if you PM me a deal, you will also get my pager number (877 toll free) and I also will be able to talk to you during a break in my day...

Thank you for listening!
And remember to PM me your deal (don't PM if it is MSRP... thank you...)

(KTCHEV don't take this thread personally... your particular post just reminded me of all the frustrations I'm going through trying to be a cost-conscious consumer and get as good a deal as anybody else on this forum and still get a C6 in reasonable time (just like the others))

As a way of thanking you, I will try to get a picture with the very car you sold me parked next to a Blue Angels F/A-18 or similar Navy fighter jet which will be suitable for framing above your sales desk...it will be a great conversation starter for future sales talks with customers!

Already three very nice offers in under 45 minutes via PM... WOW!!!

The excitement builds...

I will post the *winner* after the order placed
(subject to their release, of course)

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go, Doc!! By the way, THANK YOU for your service to this great country. Please know it is appreciated

Hot4c6

Yhat goes for me as well

Another Yellow

Be happy that at least the dealer was honest to tell you he had no allocation. Too many times people get jerked around for months only to discover that the dealer knew right from the start that there was no allocation available.

Good luck with your new dealer and thanks for your service.

docrings1

Yes... I was a bit surprised when he told me he had no allocation and "go to one of my competitors"... Maxie Price is just ten miles down the road!!! He *could* have kept stringing me out for months...

It is my honor to serve in uniform and as a doctor, help those who are veterans, and in times of trouble, like Hurricane Ivan, help those displaced/hurt by the storm. The devastation to property and bodies is incredible!

Will you share the results of your C6 cost comparisons?

BTW, I just saw one up close for the first time at a local dealership in Tysons Corner, VA today. It looked great! Although, there was a 5K mark-up over MSRP

God bless the USA and all who defend it!!!

Well, at least we'll get $750 off MSRP for our services. If someone offered me $1000 below MSRP and I get $750 off on top of that, that's $1,750 below, so I'd be happy with that.

Marvin,
First thanks for your service!! Next too bad this discount does not take into account those of us who also served and retired. Or did I read your post wrong and this does apply to retired personnel.

Unfortuantely they are extending it to active personnel only.

You can also count me in too.

Well it's Friday night and the best of five offers so far is $1500 off MSRP AND another $500 off for Active Duty Military discount... that means:

$2000 off MSRP.

God Bless America and good ol' fashioned profit-driven capitalism!!!

csun213

Would you mind posting the information on the dealer that will give the rest of us $1500 off MSRP? I am also interested in a Victory Red C6, auto with F55. Thanks

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

Ron Pauley was the most helpful and persistent (in a good way) saleperson to help me out, and, of course, had the best bottom line deal on a current allocation order through a Chevy dealer in the midwest. I will opt for the local "courtesy delivery" here in Pensacola which he will arrange as well. The dealer ordered the car already, and I have faxed back the purchase agreement with a copy of my military ID for the current chevy offer for an additional $500 off.

My thanks to all of the MANY dealers who PM'd, FedEx'd packages/offers (Probably about seven total). You were all wonderful to work with and like the "Survivor" TV show... there can only be one final winner.

Doc,

Is he a Chevy Dealer or is he a broker making the deal for you?

Since I am set to retire Oct.1 2004 would I still be entitled to this if I ordered a car right now?
