All dealers will always hype up a product and sell as high as possible. It wont be long before tons of C7's will be all over, give it a while and more dealers will be easier to deal with

Guess I am a little p*ssed at dave@kerbeck calling someone he does not know a liar. My wife and I never planned this purchase. We are devout customers of Rick "CorvetteConti" because of his unquestionable honesty. Rick and I had already planned a 2015 Stingray order ( which is still planned ) to add to the 2012 GS vert, 2013 427, and 2013 Anniversary ZR1 he sold us. I also have a 2000 Viper GTS track car, and 2009 Viper SRT Aero ( I have driven vipers competitively for 12 years hence my Viperclub post ). I am hoping Rick understands my ordering this car elsewhere since an INVOICE deal could not be passed up. This C7 will probably be a trade in to Rick when GM eventually lets me order a Z whatever. Dave, quit being a troll, I got a rare deal.

I wasn't disparaging you nor was I trolling the Viper Forum. I just saw the link in the op was from that site which has been known in the past to bash all things Vettes.

Ni offense intended and I hope you love your car!

Give it 6 months and these deals will be readily available. Great find on your part though early in the game! Enjoy it!

Its in the driveway. Cannot believe how fast order to delivery was, including being pulled for 4D00. Wife was nice enough to drop me off at work tonight and take the Stingray for its first drive. Dealer stuck to our agreement, basically ended up being $8000 under MSRP by my math. Blade Silver with the transparent roof looks fantastic. Rick, I will see you May for the HiPo order. Back to work for now...

If the story is even true, which I doubt based on the source (viper forum) my guess is that it is a dealer with no allocation who thinks if they take a deposit with a "sold" order maybe GM will give it to them.

We all know dealer's don't make a penny if they sell at invoice!

You did not address his asking why YOU don't discount the C7!

Congrats! You were SMART enough not to pay sticker, and let the dealer's bend you over at sticker!

Dave was correct about the allocation thing. They had 4, sold three prior to me. They wanted to move #4 before order deadline.

How do you know the dealer really has an allocation?

TacDoc has the car in his driveway already at approximately $8000 below MSRP.

I see all kinds of cars coming to the dealers that are not presold. As soon as they start stacking up in the showrooms, they all will be discounting.

The $8000 got my attention so I thought I would put some numbers together. Going by the options the car has as posted on this thread, the MSRP should be approx. $70,420 and the invoice should be approx. $63,703. If the $8000 is correct, then the Dealer went about $1300 in to his Dealer hold back...WOW.

To Stingray at invoice?

Personally, I think it's crazy so many people jump on an msrp deal like the dealers are doing them some kind of favor.

of asian sport cars. Closest dealer hear {sic), said can get a car. But they will not
service it. Have to take it to Big H town.
Well, that will sure be convenient, having to commute to the "big city" to get it serviced, after you bought the car from a sales wonk who hasn't been trained, and doesn't know what the hell he/she is talking about. It is NOT "just another Chevy," tex.

And to my knowledge, without sales and tech training, that dealer will not get allocations to sell you a car. Like many dealers, they will promise the moon - but show me an order with a delivery date, coach. If they don't pay GM for training and special tools, my bet is they are getting zero Corvettes anytime soon.

Oh, and practice your English skills a little bit - you're a little short.
