And how much are they charging for the XPEL ?

It’s like Hendrick. By the time they hit you with window tint, paint protection, nitrogen and other BS you are way over MSRP.

LOL, I will never pay over MSRP. I can wait..

I just sold my 2020 HTC and made some decent money on the Deal even after Tax, License and some add on Mods I did to the Car.

My asking price was well below the crazy sums of money that people are asking Online for the HTC's, but I still did pretty well. I firmly believe that if I had held on to it until the Spring I would have made even more profit on the sale.

I didn't plan on selling it, even added some little goodies to it in anticipation of holding on to it but circumstances changed here so I had to put the money towards more important things.

I will probably revisit the Market after the Z06 comes out, either buying one of them or buying a well treated Base HTC.

I would bet those were so called "resellers"-to-be running away for financial reasons: run, run, run. it is over for ya! congrats on $2500 deposit out of your pockets, greedy losers.

A friend of mine dropped by to look at my car last Friday. On Saturday evening he sent me a picture of his new C8! He just hit the right timing. He called a small dealer near him and was told that they had a new car in the showroom. It wasn't exactly what he was looking for but he bought it at MSRP. He was told that the guy who ordered the car died suddenly of COVID-19 and they had just gotten it in. I was shocked and pleased for him. I told him that there were thousands of people around the country who would almost be willing to kill to get this kind of break. So, who knows, maybe someone else will get lucky too. Except for the poor guy who passed away! Sorry for him and his family!

If someone is able and willing to pay a premium over what the MSRP on a C8 is, more power to them. It is their money and their choice on how they spend it. Me, I simply refuse to pay over sticker for any car, not just a C8. I understand that the C8 is a wildly popular car with limited supply, but I just do not need one so bad that I will spend thousands more than I have to to get one. I can wait a few years and find a gently used one for much less - and they will be available at some point as production goes forward.

While I personally see no problem with people paying well over MSRP, there is no list that can convince me its somehow a super good thing to do.

Bid ups on ANY high volume car is bad publicity for the automaker. The case in point is the 991.1 and 991.2 GT3. Porsche researched the clientle that would want these track focused cars because they are not made to be touring cars. A more than sufficient numbers were made, but were being traded like currency in a bid up where they would not reach the hands of the people Porsche wanted to represent their brand. Many blamed PORSCHE for undersupplying the world, and turned their backs on them. Ferrari describes their cars as luxury goods, and only wants the wealthiest people to represent their company. GM ISNT like that as far as we know.

Called where?

There is no reason at all to buy a Corvette at over MSRP. I just purchased a brand new Coupe at MSRP from dealer stock. No reason at all.

^^^^ Fixed it for ya.
and agreed.

teenVette

I have no problem paying more for something I want, and trust me a C8 will definitely be in my garage in the near future, but I can’t see myself paying $20-30k more just to get the car a year earlier. But to each their own

$7500 for entire car. It seems pretty much the going rate everywhere. check out the link. Only XPEL added to MSRP.

MM told me that they refunded the deposits. Not that I GAS my car is being built this week.

tsigwing

macmulkin charges a $2500 deposit?

Avanti

I don't think so.

I agree on the 5 reasons to pay more than MSRP.. but how much over is the value to you. The 2021 total build is not known, we still have stiff headwinds with COVID, Trade disputes and unknown end of 2021 production that are eating away at total build numbers. So I know you can find dealerships with Expected allocations for 2021, but not sure they are going to fulfill them in 2021. Over MSRP not going away very soon.

Every dealer charges $2500 when they place customer custom order in production. Unless you are buying in stock vehicle. Nobody wants to end up with car with options that only you would buy. It is known fact for many. Nobody is talking about refundable waiting list deposits, when applicable. So it is possible they got their waiting list deposit back, but after it is send to production real deposit is not refundable, but "they did not ask a specific question". So yes, they may get a refund, you just do not know the details. If it would be me - I would not refund prod order deposit, teach these suckers a lesson.
