. . . an increase of 149% over the 980 sold in Feb 2013.

And that is 4,699 total Corvette sales in 2014 so far.

No doubt the C7 is rolling

peter pan

Cool need them to get back to 2008 levels of sales

JoesC5

Compared to around 7,000 they have built in 2014 so far.

I'm sure sales will pick up come spring. Hopefully it will do better than 28,200 for the year although I believe that would eclipse 911 sales by a couple thousand.

It will be interesting to see what impact the new price hike will have on future numbers.

This will hurt sales no question. In some of the other price threads people are canceling their orders already.

Just silly the car is a bargin beyond. Canceling orders on a 50k+ steal of a deal over 2-3k . I'm lost for words

I can certainly see it pushing some people who were teetering on the edge over the wrong side of that edge... It's $3.2K more for the Z51, which is still a good ~6%. That's not insignificant. Not to mention that for most people, percentages aside, $3.2K is still a decent chunk of change.

For me personally, it will at least make me reconsider the importance of some options I was interested in.

I spend over 2K a year on coffee and most smokers spend over 12K. Cable cost over 1500 a year for a bunch of crap shows. I bet some who are bitching they won’t buy a car now will spend 5K on Apple products this year. Jesus folks pull your heads out of your asses and buy a damn car or take up golf… oh and a good golf club membership will cost you 25K plus fees!

I'm predicting sales to accelerate into the spring... We'll see.

Second Vette

Let's see. Most of the Country has been in DEEP FREEZE MODE for the past two Months. I think that might have held back some Sales.

I know, I'll go pay $65,000 for a new Car that I have to park in the Garage for a few months until Globull Warming kicks in.

That's the ticket for record Vehicle Sales, if you're selling 4x4 Pickup Trucks and SUV's, not High Performance Sports Cars with Tires that operate their best in 80 Degree Weather.

If anyone wants to know how Chevy Dealers in Southern California can ask, and get, $10,000 OVER MSRP, just look at a Thermometer.

As for me, the Top of my Car has spent more time under the Rear Hatch than over my Head. It's been worth every penny and more.

Vetteman Jack

Good numbers so far this year, but I too will be watching what the price increase does to sales.

jschindler

Honestly, those sales numbers are not anywhere near what I would have expected. The car has been in production for six months almost to the day. I get that they ramp up a new model a little slowly at first, but still, that is a run rate of less than 10,000 a year. Other than the "it's cold out" and a somewhat slow up, I'm a bit perplexed at that number.

C7Joy

My order is in, but if it wasn't I would not change my car buying decision. What I might do is reconsider things like striping or other cosmetic upgrades. I would not waver on performance however.

NSC5

I wouldn't cancel either over the price increase, life is too short. I expect that the average "realized" selling price isn't going to increase much over the course of the year. Dealer markups will disappear and the announced increase creates room for incentives and special offers from GM. In any case the price is still one hell of a deal for the product.

And I much prefer this to the "de-contenting" approach that GM and other makers sometimes take holding the price line by removing standard features which sometimes become options and other times disappear entirely.

Zee51Vert

...your math don't add up. We are close to 18,000 built so far. At this rate we are looking at probably 30,000 for MY 2014 C7....

JoesC5

Jim,

The numbers in this thread are for January and February 2014 production and sales, not the entire 2014 model year production and sales.

Spark 2

Sorry, but I really don't understand.

Are these sales to individuals?

Are sales to Large Dealers and Hertz included in these figures.

If these cars are not on the road, does it matter?

RJRSW

2007 was the best corvette sales year since the 1984 model year and averaged over 3380 sales per month.

At the average monthly rate the 2014 is selling they will need to nearly double the February 2,438 total to average around 5,000 a month for the next six months to match the 2007 total of 40,561 sold.
