It appears GM 'thinks' they have a Ferrari on their lots...Sorry guys, 'I' would never buy that fugly wanna-be from Chevrolet.
I love the way that the new C8 looks, performs and most importantly the price.
The C7 IS the best bang for your buck Corvette on the planet in my view...and lots of excellent condition used vehicles are for the taking.
The C7 for its time was a good vehicle, but you just can't compare it to the C8. Its out dated and obsolete just like all the new GT350 once the new GT500 came out...
Do you know what we call the C7s? 20 thousand dollars less....
EVERY new Chevy I have owned was a POS
Well that's not fair statement unless the ones you have owned are VEGAS or CORVAIRS. We have owned several Vettes, Z28s and Chevelle SS all excellent vehicles in their own time period.
Hopefully you can go test drive a C8 and tgen you will learn and appreciate what American ingenuity can do for $65k
Keep up with the big boys exotics that cost $200+

Spooky ! reminds me of the scene in Jaws, gives me chills thinking what's out there !
Let me tell you we have heard real interesting sounds at night, pitch black and you hear a loud gush or what seems like a whale blowing out, someting tgat sounds like a howl or scream. But there is nothing that you can see or is it sea

There seems to be a major contradiction here on prices?
No contradictions, just the uninformed making uneducated purchasing decisions
IF it is true that the cars commonly are sold at way over list, WHY would ANY new Chevy dealer sell them at MSRP? That appears VERY foolish and contradictory to the very nature of new car dealers.
The Dealers sell at MSRP to informed intelligent customers who do not mind patiently wait8ng fur their C8
It isn't like there is an over abundant supply of these cars and a dealer can get as many as they want. After all GM is creating an artificial shortage of them to begin with.
True but anyone can go in and place a small deposit and wait for their C8 to arrive . Remember it's just a Chevy
It does seem to me extraordinarily foolish, if not out and out stupid to agree to paying 90 over MSRP. It does suggest to me that "Contract" may not be exactly legit?
Yes we agree that dealer was completely out if li be but as previously mentioned due to the pressure applied, they caved in , apologized and is now back on track with the sell at MSRP program
I do remember "Joey Flowers" posting a speeding ticket that he got in his Boss 429 at the first SAAC Convention in Dearborn. It was for 130mph in a 30.
Sounds fascinating going 130 mph, we have NEVER experienced such rapid speeds
Now it was suggested, but never actually confirmed that the local Police would agree to write the citation for a fee, and never process it. Now who would go and do something like that?
Very novel idea
The thought of being patient, even for a couple of years and buying a nice low mileage used one is a positive thought.
You don't have to, but the lowest cost C8 at $66k plus taxes. Why wait as time is not on our side
I do have a copy of a classified ad advertising a '21, slightly used for "only 10 thousand more than I paid for it new!" That isn't exactly typical I suppose and you can't graph a trend with only one point, but this entire Corvette thing is radically off the wall and as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather stay with the competition and bitch about them? After all, there aren't a lot of places I can get a new Shelby autographed by the man himself?
Yes indeed these C8s are selling for over what you purchased them for. Exception is if you pay over MSRP

August 29, 2022, 08:11:17 AMYes it is true, we have several friends that have a bought at MSRP wait time has been anywhere from 6 months to 14 months.
The inpatient, the uninformed, the I want it now crowd are the ones that walk in and purchase at the spur of the moment what is ever available on the show room floor. Welcome to the mouse trap....SNAP !

MSRP baby !
Top 9 Corvette dealers by sales :
1- Kerbeck/Ciocca (NJ) 1,481
2- McMulkin (NH) 1,160
3- Criswell/ Home of Mike Furman (MD) 583
4- Bomnin-Dadeland (FL) 534
5- Les Stanford (MI) 492
6- Stingray (FL) 309
7- Rick Hendrick, Duluth (GA) 248
8- Coughlin / Home of Rick Conti (OH) 233
9- Bomnin, West Kendall (FL) 232
At least the top 6 are selling at MSRP
So if this is true, then it shows that these buyers going over list are not very bright are they? Must have more money then brains? I always suspected that.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
