I feel sorry for ppl who paid adm for the z28. Crazy how those cars plummeted. I believe there are still new z28s sitting on dealer lots for around 40k.
A C7 Z06 Coupe starts at around $83k with no discounts, with 1LZ. The C8Z06 will come in under $100k for sure. It will be a value in the market as it always has been.
Not true. The big Vette dealers don't play the adm game. Kerbeck, the largest Corvette dealer in the country, is selling at msrp. And these guys get like 1000 Vettes during a typical model year. Normally the only dealers that try for adm on new Vettes are the ones that typically only sell 1 or 2 per year. The big players have no reason to because it's a turn and burn system. The more you sell, the more GM allocates to you. So sitting on them trying to get a marked up price is counterproductive in most of their eyes.
What was the C7 Z06 initial introduction like? Adm? MSRP? 'normal' discounts? supplier pricing? What should someone expect to pay for a C8 ZO6? I know now they are heavily discounted, i just don't know how long it took to get to that point. thanks
It was mostly msrp with a few of the smaller Corvette dealers attempting to sell at a markup. Then about halfway through the model year or towards the end, the supplier discounts and employee discounts start to become available. But a dealer can also choose not to honor those discounts. Evidently they lose a few thousand on the sale when they honor those from what I hear. Most honor it once it becomes widely know that it's available though. What sucks though is that both supplier discount and employee discounts have been reduced significantly the last time I checked. The discounts that you see on the C7's at this point normally take a few model years to show up.
Totally agree Voodoo...you will always pay to be the first
Not if buying from the top dealers. Those guys truly stick to their words on pricing. Same thing could work for halo Mustangs if the community was tighter, I think. Early on with C7Z06 I literally saw a group of forum members force a Vette dealer to remove their markups by reaming them in a post. They were saying their 1st shipment would go for over sticker, but subsequent shipments would be at msrp. That didn't go well. I don't see many Ford dealers with connections to any forums like that though so I guess that obligation isn't there. And remember when we're talking Vettes #1 and #1000 are not that far apart. Bowling Green cranks them out pretty well once they get through the quality hold processes.
Marcus, what was it some ~3 years ago when you came to my home in South Carolina after which time we went for a rip in your new ZL1 coupe and I sincerely enjoyed your company and the ride in your new Camaro Pony Car.
