I can appreciate that some of you would love the C7 to be a worthless car that doesn't hold its value.
Please re-read my statement and keep in mind that the "stripped out base model" $52k car isn't likely to be selling for 10k under sticker during the 2014 model year... Of course, well optioned cars can see bigger discounts. That was the purpose of the 5k+. By the way, The point of my post was actually the second line. This must not have supported your agenda and was therefore ignored. |

Yeah, even though the C7 is the latest and greatest, and it sure is, interesting how the C6 Z06 and GS's are keeping their values up. Course although the C6 is obsolete compared to the C7, it's still a fabulous street supercar in it's own right. Now many of us are deciding when not if we will be moving to a C7, while there are many others at a lower price point looking to scoop our well cared for and tastefully tricked out C6's. What's more interesting is, if the Porsche/BMW nose in the air crowd, start moving over to the C7 after the rave reviews. Maybe paying TWICE as much for comparable performance and recent major interior/ technical/ handling/ infotainment upgrades etc, will finally turn on the light bulb for them.
boy racer crowd and a chevy. BMW's are more refined and do not have to be in a face kind of car. See posted that once Chevy C7 newness wears off, its going to be business as usual like the C6. When something new comes out its wow, than at the drop of a hat its old news. The video graphic of the C7 are gimmicks, ??? how many will actually use. Just put gauges and vital engine information all needed. |

How many does he have in stock right now ready to go?
Most dealers are willing to do a better deal on a special order because they turn it immediately when they get it in :yesnod: But I have no doubt some forum dealers would do $2500 off on an in-stock unit for a buyer ready now :thumbs: |

Let's see, $2K amortized over 72 months.... oh no! $28/month. For us in the Northeast, where most people's Vette's (mine included) would just go into storage from Thanksgiving to April Fool's Day, the welcomed savings that is coming by waiting until Spring is a good trade off. |
One of my best friends saw my new C7 and will be ordering one in the next week or two (or perhaps buying one from a Forum dealer and having it courtesy delivered). Another friend is trying to get him to buy Porsche for the 'status' - to which I say baloney. My friend is getting the C7, and will either pay MSRP or maybe get a slight discount, to which I say, that's fine, I have had my car for 6 weeks, and he won't get his for another couple of months (or longer), and I got mine exactly like I wanted it, and it's perfect. Later buyers will pay less, it's inevitable if BG keeps the production volumes up.

It's not like it is in the US, GM is only allowing a very small number of units into Canada (I was told somewhere around 300 coupes) for 2014. Further, if you did not sell 4 units in 2013 (I believe that was the threshold) then you're not even allowed to order a 2014.
Pardon my ignorance - but is there any difference between a US Spec & Canadian Spec car? Why not just go over the border and buy a Vette and drive it back to Canada? |

Ok why don't you post what you really mean instead of us having to read your mind of what you really wanted to say.
What I said was "I will also not be shocked when the base price of the car goes up." And what I meant was: I bet the starting price of the car goes up over the next few years. I can't think how I might be able to make it more plain than that. I hope that helps. I can't believe people would actually give me grief for agreeing that discounts are part of the business. |
Why are some people pissed that the C7 is being discounted? Congrats to those who can swing the price now and buy it, but let's look at the history....Corvettes get greatly discounted, it's happening now and the savings will grow over time.
As a potential buyer down the road, I welcome this. And no the C7 will not become worthless, as the supply of cars grows the C6 will be further moved down market....just as the C5 was....just as the C4 was. Looking ahead in 2020 a base C7 will still pull mid 20's with average miles, you if you keep the car long term you'll get your moneys worth.....trade or sell in the first few years and you'll take a bath. |
When everyone is still pondering about getting their car 2-3 years from now and save 4-5k if that much . I will be 3 years into my 5 year loan and looking at paying off . Ok , I spent 80 bucks more a month . Also , 3 years from now the car will have gone up 4k , so who wins here ..... :thumbs:

:cool: Was it in stock?
Still have no regrets getting mine already and enjoying it, even having paid MSRP :thumbs: It was last week unless it was sold today at EliteAuto red on blk. |
You'll see $5k+ off easy once the 2015s start to rollout.
|
I paided below MSRP a month ago on a special order unit,,,, This is old news,,,

As great as the car is, GM's production handling is the opposite! Throughout history, they always over-produce Corvette's resulting in excess inventory sitting at dealerships. On this end, they should follow Porsche and built just enough or a little less than demand.

You can do your own homework if you don't wanna believe that. Z06s can be had all day in the 40s. 40 or slightly less with some miles. You call "BS" on me? LOL! You obviously do not have a clue Pal! Do some reasearch before you make a fool of yourself again.

Not sure what all the buzz is about Z06s "holding their value". You can buy a $90,000 C6, Z06 f0r 40k. Is that what we should consider a value hold? |
