For sure.

 

Friend of mine's father ordered one dealer told him August 2020 for delivery that will be a long year of waiting lol.

 

I'm really hoping to see a full road test from C&D or MT soon!

 

I wonder why they flipped the checkered flag to the left with the 4th gen?

 

Great observation. Now I'm curious!

 

Thanks for posting this.

I will need the 2LT to get the Front Axle Lift. Also need the Z51 package to get it's 0-60 in 3 seconds. Magnetic suspension and the exhaust. So about $77K before the actual "luxury" customizations. Looking more like a $80K car than a $60K car... With that said, still a super bargain for the performance. But that was the case for the C7 too. Need a badge delete option tho.

 

price hike for 2021? They have done it in the past within just a few months of release. Dont get too excited over the price. Rumor is they wont be making the bases until later on in the model year. If they hike the price even once in the first half of the MY like they did for the C7, the $60k price was pure illusion.

I think the mid-engine absolutely opens the gates for them to charge an arm and a leg. Just look what happened to the 2007 Nissan GT-R and where it is now.

 

Pre-order can only be done in dealer and and they allow dealer to mark it up for any amount they want. You can never get one for $60k so its literately a false advertisement.

 

There are literally hundreds of dealers--some with very large allocations--that are selling for straight-up MSRP, and the factory is only going to be producing sold orders for quite a while. If you go to one of these dealers and place an order for a 1LT with no additional options, you will pay $59,995 exactly (to the dealer, anyway, the government will of course get its cut over and above that). Of course some dealers will gouge--you can choose to not give them your business.

This is not false advertising.

 

The difference is that NSX, GTR, GT350 are all very LIMITED production.
Corvette is a regular model that GM has officially stated they will build a TON of. Therefore eventually supply will exceed demand and significant discounts will be available.

They are planning for more extreme versions a la Z06, ZR1 etc and those will probably have higher profit margins.

 

I (ultimately) agree with you in principle, but that is often easier said than done when the next closest dealer is a couple of hundred miles away.

 

There are 4,200 Chevy dealers in the US. For most even moderately-populated areas, chances are there's another dealer within 10-15 miles of the first.

Like you, I live in the suburbs of a major metro, which means that there are 7 Maserati and 6 McLaren dealers within an hour's drive of my house. Chevy dealers are literally everywhere. In less-populated areas you indeed might have to go hundreds of miles to find a dealer of one of those exotics. But you won't have to go far to find a Corvette.

 

Very well said. You beat me to it. There are many places to buy this new Vette

 

IDK guys, at least here $80,000 Tahoes fly off the lots. The C8 will sell fine.

My buddy who sells them is pretty well off.
