Just to be clear, I have a GT350R and not a GT500 although I've driven one and thought long and hard as to whether I wanted it or the C8. The C8 won out, especially since I plan to keep my GT350R long term.
Not completely true. in DC metro, most dealers have ADM on Vettes. and very few in stock.I bought my C8 for MSRP and only had to call one dealer. Most if not all the large dealers have sold their new C8's at MSRP. The only people paying ADM are the ones buying from small dealers or the ones that didn't order their cars like everyone else or the guys buying used. If you "have to have it now" then be prepared to pay up. Ordering a C8 at MSRP from any of the big dealerships throughout the country is easy.. just be prepared to wait your turn.
I can't say that for my GT350 or GT350R.. I had to call 50+ dealers and still paid ADM on my R.
That being said, I couldn't imagine paying an ADM for a GT500.
If your'e in the market for a C8, look on EBay. There's 128 listed for sale and most are used. (most with ADMs) Why so many used C8s if they are so sought after? I get the speculators but that can only account for a few I'd think.
I'd be down for a Base C8 59,999 MSRP + TTL thats not so bad of a deal
I was surprised when I clicked on used on Autotrader. They got a summer car and now want to sale for profit. One local dealer has 50K ADM. Crazy.
I've seen a few C8's on the road here, and a few 500s as well. The bread and butter of the muscle car world right now lol
We built the last GT350 the other day. We're still building the GT500. Your friend either misspoke or doesn't know what he/she is talking about.My factory friend sent these to me:
The cars in dealer stock are going to have a markup. Those are typically msrp orders that a customer backed out on, and of course once it becomes dealer stock in the current market the dealer is going to slap an ADM on it. Almost all the people that ordered the C8 paid sticker price.

I tend to believe what @Snoopy49 posts. He said the last one made. So some could still be getting work done but the last one made is the last one made????
