You and every other Chevrolet dealer has them in stock. A quick search shows
about 100 on the lot including 2, Z06s within 100 miles. Those are there
because they haven't found a sucker to pay over MSRP for them yet. It's time
to get real dealers, the C6 is selling slower than the C5 did and that was
bad enough for a new generation. The C6 is not a new generation, just a
tweaked C5, get over it.

A dealer close to me wants 20K over MSRP for a 06 Z06. He
will have it for a long time at that price and I understand
that they haven't had any serious bites on it yet.

Like dad said, it is time for the dealers to get real.

Obviously I'm not going to tell you anything if you can't read. I have and
have had a C6 for over a year. It don't sit in the garage as it has 14,000
miles on it. About the same miles I put on the '04 Commemorative Edition I
had after I had a '98 with 40,000+ on it, that preceded the '92 that had
close to 100,000 miles.

I'll say it again for you, the C6 is a tweaked C5, meaning it has a
different skin, wheel base changed, so they could make the crossbreed
Cadillac, threw in some unwanted electrical gadgets and the extra 50 horses
that were there in 1997. There was more changes than that through the life
of the C3 and it was only one generation.

Throw a price out there for us and state how much you'll take off sticker,
like $4,000 would be a good starter.

By the way, your writing skills suck.

Wow! Dad, you really shouldn't be talking about writing skills. Men in
glass houses shouldn't throw stones. ;-). Your response is rife with
poor grammar. "It don't sit in the garage..." should read "It doesn't
sit in the garage...".

You should seldom, if ever, start a sentence with a preposition. The
above sentence is very poorly structured and should actually have been 2
or 3 separate sentences. I would suggest that it would have been better
grammar, if set out like this:

"I put approximately the same mileage on the '04 Commemorative Edition
which I owned previously. I owned a '98 with 40,000 miles on it, prior
to that. I also owned a '92 with close to 100,000 miles on it, before that."

That is perhaps the worst excuse for a sentence that I have ever
witnessed! It is very poorly structured and should also have been 2 or
3 separate sentences. But I'll let you figure it out this time.

>There was more changes than that through the life
> of the C3 and it was only one generation.

"There was..." should actually read "There were...".

> Throw a price out there for us and state how much you'll take off sticker,

This should have been 2 separate sentences.

> By the way, your writing skills suck.

This is akin to "the pot calling the kettle black"!!! Dad, I agree with
you that this guy isn't welcome in this NewsGroup with his unsavoury
sales tactics, but you are hardly the one to criticize his "writing skills".

By the way this toad stool has stuck his pathetic little add on a number of
auto sites. Sells, (should be sales), must really be strong in Oklahoma, ha,
ha, ha!!! They only have 2 coupes, a red and a blue, both automatics and one
is a Sally Rand. I wonder what the RED TAG price is??

Now where did you get that? Nobody said they disliked the C6. I did say it
is a tweaked C5 and since I've had both and know what they are that will
always be my opinion. I like the sale you had that was good until midnight
tonight. That's rich.

Get one of those Z06s black with red interior with everything but the Onstar
and I'll give you $55,000 for it. Actually comes out $52,640 but I've got
the Christmas spirit right now. Let me know when it comes in so I can pick
it up.

I wholeheartedly agree. Prices above MSRP are an out-and-out ripoff. Any
dealer should be ashamed of themselves if they ask for something above MSRP.
It is completely within reason to expect at least a 5% Discount below MSRP,
if not 10%.

Reply to this Message

RicSeyler - 27 Nov 2005 22:59 GMT

I agree!
The only situation would be if an employee or owner already had dibs on
one and
the customer had to "outbid" the employee/dealership owner for the
purchase..

I can't say it should be against the law but I don't like it that's for
sure. LOL
With something as expensive as that I'd think all it would take is a dealer
in each region NE, NW, SE, SW to advertise MSRP and all the other
dealers would be pressured into MSRP. I'd drive/fly 500 miles to save
5 Grand or more :-)

And then you could use a small portion of the 5 Grand to drive that sweet
ride back home! *lol* I think that you're right Ric. If one dealer had the
balls to advertise MSRP or less, the other dealers would be compelled to do
the same or lose business.

Hello Matt,

    First, some basic Usenet lessons:
    1) Lurk and get the feel of the group before you speak. If you don't
understand "lurk," check it out in Google. If that's too difficult,
here's a link: <www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html>
    2) Read what has been written--I just reviewed this thread and didn't
see any "dislike" for the C6, honest criticism from knowledgeable owners
yes, dislike, no.
    3) When you lurk a group, learn a little about who's who before you
decide to challenge someone's observation. You chose to take offense
with one of the most if not the most respected resource in this
newsgroup. You goofed. Accept it!

    Second, the folks who post here are dedicated Corvette owners and
enthusiasts. They are abreast of the market and know the score. You'll
note that there are few ads posted here, perhaps one or two each month.
They are welcome only when they represent something unique. Your post
was inappropriate in that it failed that criteria. While this is a
public resource, we all respect it and ask that others do likewise.
There is no hesitance on the part of readers in this group to transmit
reports of abuse to ISPs and we do this about once each week. Monica
Dean has occasionally posted here when she has an offering price that is
well below MSRP and represents an honest effort to clear stock. When
you have something exceptional offer it. Offering to start an arm
wrestle (i.e. "tell me what you think is fair") -- is in no way
"exceptional." Buy an ad from Google or, since you are a Yahoo member,
buy one there.

    Third, we recently completed a comprehensive thread that addressed the
future of GM. Contained therein was a criticism of marketing and
merchandising at all levels of the organization including Chevy
dealerships. Your arrogance (and inference that "everyone else is doing
this") was what I witnessed at a local dealer last month. That
experience led me to buy an used C5 (w/17K miles) from a private party.
I now have $28K more in my checkbook than I had planned. The sales
arrogance of asking $3K for dealer supplied options (worth easily $200
maybe $250) was so disgusting that I left the sales manager's office--he
was really more interested in moving SUVs and trucks than selling me a
C6. I left him to his chore.

    We all want the marque to succeed. We want the dealers to make an
honest profit and stay in business. We do not appreciate a rip-off that
insults our intelligence. This group does not have sufficient space to
support MSRP or >MSRP advertising from each Corvette dealer in the U.S.

    Please leave. When you have something to contribute I think these fine
folks will welcome you back.

...PJ

If he was offering MSRP or less would

(when others offering MSRP are a rare situation)

But being a "let's see just how much we can milk out of the
supply & demand..... naaaaaaa :-)

Asking us to pay above MSRP is just not good business if you want
repeat Corvette folks coming around.

Asking us to pay above MSRP to debug a new model is worse. If the C6
is anthing like the C5, I'll wait at least 3 years before buying one.
It's your business right to get the most for your product, but you
wont get it from the informed buyers around here.

Regarding price it is simple economics: Supply vs. demand. If a dealer can
sell above MSRP good for them. Also, most people who complain about dealers
selling above sticker could not afford the vehicle even if it is selling
below sticker. In closing, it is about time dealers of domestic product can
market and sell a vehicle at a premium. The C6 Corvette is a world class
product, and even at MSRP it is selling at a discount.

You're pulling our leg, right? Who said supply vs. demand, P. T.
Barnum, wasn't it? Maybe he said it different just to confuse people
like you. Most dealer have been selling at a premium for quite some
time now, probably you paid to much for your turnip truck.

My fears are that in a rush to make a "world class" car we're going
to get a second class American dream. There is very little in a
foreign car that I envy or desire to drive here in the states. To me a
car built in France, Italy, Japan, or Australia is built to suit that
countries peoples needs and wants. That's the way it should be and not
cave in to the whims of the politicians and their tariffs. Nothing
against foreign cars or those that want to drive them just don't screw
up the Corvette to make it sell like a Element.
