They and Mac have gone to almost zero delay on ordering. Flipping is a thing of the past.

Nice to hear some dealers are getting C8s in stock for sale.

We saw this on this forum back in the early summer. Ciocca was finding dealers who had new C8s coming where the deals fell through and added them to their inventory. Swapping cars is not an uncommon practice in the industry.

Eventually more dominos will tilt before the C9 comes to play.

The deal fell through. Like the people who walked into small dealers a couple of years ago and instantly got an allocation this is a unicorn.

Interesting, I don't recall seeing anything on the forum regarding this. Please post a link. I remember seeing that MM purchased C8's from the other dealers last year to help them become #1 in new C8 sales but I didn't see any posts regarding Ciocca purchasing cars from other dealers.

At the museum yesterday, Becky was on the phone with a dealer that had a customer bail.

Glad to hear they have inventory on the ground. However…..FYI….Before I purchased mine at a local dealership, i reached out to Ciocca for a quote and trade for my Z06. The “Out The Door” bottom line was close to 8K MORE than all the rest!!!!! Just be careful when shopping! They are NOT the old Kerbeck!!!

Were they lowballing you on the trade in, or are they not selling the on the ground inventory at MSRP?
I have mine on order with them, and everything so far has been above board, aside from them not updating the spreadsheet on their web site often enough.

Does anyone know if allocations or statistics like "Worlds largest Corvette dealer" are per dealership or per "dealer family"? I know Ciocca has multiple Chevy dealerships. It is a bit misleading sometimes because if you go to the website for their Flemington, NJ dealership, it shows an inventory of 19 or so Corvettes, but if you actually click on the link for the specific car, it tells you it's in Atlantic City.

It’s per actual dealer. If you look at the list of top 100 C8 dealers several different Hendrick locations are on the list.

That's the link to Ciocca's new car inventory. The same link that I posted in my original post. There is no indication these cars were purchased from other dealers.

Only 8 3LTs, and just 1 coupe (black, a deal-breaker color). Crazy proportion of conv vs coupes, and seems the same almost everywhere. Running out of options to find a new '23, and don't want a '24. Will keep looking for a 3LT, MRC, NPP, gray Trident wheels, with cool gray leather interior (no alcantara, no 2-tone). Nothing else. Somewhat flexible on exterior color, but prefer white. If somebody finds one, I'd appreciate a heads up. Thank you.
