With a number of dealers in a 150-mile radius of me talking about dealer mark-ups of $5k, I'm almost afraid to ask......

Will GM be offering Military Discounts on the C8, and have any dealers stated they will honor it?

(Again, I think I know the answer--but the cheaper part of me compels to ask......)

Being retired Navy and having ordered a C7 in the first allocation, I can tell you the answer is as you expected.
No.
The GM discount website currently does not show the 2020 as being eligible. It took a while before they made the C7 eligible after it's introduction, I think around a year.
Having said that it doesn't hurt to check the website when you get closer to delivery, it currently shows what is eligible up to January and I'm sure it changes all the time.

First year? No way, Jose’. Second year? Maybe depending on sales. I bought my 2015 using the discount, 2017 too.

The Military Auto Source guy here in Afghanistan said that they expect to have the C8 available through their program in a few months. So if you have the opportunity to find yourself out this way you can get on the list at a below-MSRP price. Of course, you can also get blown up, but hey, look at the savings if you don't!

What about supplier discount? Do they offer that on first year models?

How much is the typical military discount ?

I hope they do give military discount but most likely not. I just want to say “Thank you for your service to all service members “.

Actually this is a good question, Ken. If GM doesn't offer one, then maybe USAA does through their new car buyer program. It might be worth a phone call to find out.

Gilbert Chevrolet in okeechobee is who ive been working with and told me they will absolutely honor military discount programs.

GM Military Discount = Supplier pricing.

My retirement check for life is enough of a discount for me...jmho...Thanks for your service OP

A forum dealer will usually be less money without the military discount. At least they were with the last 3 Corvettes I purchased from McMulkin

Afghanistan? I'll pass. I'm already at 70% disability, due to earlier getting "blown up".........

Be safe........

I will wait a year and get my military discount which on the C7 in 2016 was about 7K, plus other discounts i received, I don't need to be the first on the block !

Nice Avitar Bluman!

Wow that's cool. Is it only for active duty ?

CanAm Ken

Nope.... retired, too.....

Have you looked into the USAA car buyer program. I purchased a Raptor with some pretty deep discounts through the program when many dealers were +10k over MSRP. Might be worth a look.

Did not take that long. Bought mine in May 2014 and received the discount.

There is nothing vague about this statement. Market pricing for a C8 means ADM. The only thing in question is how much.
