If anyone is contemplating a C9, it will cost you less in production year one, ordering exactly what you want and paying sticker price rather then waiting until 2034 to buy the car discounted and under MSRP. The price increases will outpace any potential savings 4-5 years down the road.

Are you sure it's not customers walking away from cars as they have only got 8 Stingrays since last September? The last car they ordered is a 3LT HTC in Black with a Red Dipped interior and an MSRP of $133,404. If the customer that ordered this car has walked away from it, the dealer may be discounting it down to his invoiced cost to get out of it because dealers are not ordering them this loaded for stock. Selling that car with a red dipped interior will be a challenge, so they better put some black floor mats in it as well!

I find it funny how many people think that the last 4 years is the new normal for car pricing and depreciation. Inflation and pandemic-related demand drove the price increases. Without those 2 things, this mess would have never happened. Cars, watches and pretty much every other consumer good is returning back to more "normal" market dynamics. This doesn't mean that new car prices (MSRP) are going to go back to pre-pandemic numbers. It just means that the massive price increases and miniscule rates of depreciation will not be the norm for the foreseeable future.
For those that bought their cars and paid full MSRP over the past 4 years...who cares? That was the market then and you have enjoyed your cars. If Joe Blow gets $5k off his car this fall...good for him.
I just ordered a new 911 that should be here next week. I paid MSRP and could care less.

The price increase along with the luxury tax destroyed the market for the 2024 model year. The waiting lists are satisfied and there was no significant change on the 24's to make the 20-23 owners want to upgrade. Cars available at the end of year 5 will now need to be discounted especially if they were ordered for stock and not to a customers specifications.

I would add interest rate increases to that also and a lack of FOMO in 2024

The interest rates on Corvettes have been terrible since the 0% offer at the end of C7's. In July GM reduced the interest rates on C8's from 7.79% to 5.49% up to 84 months to try and help revive the market a bit. What we need is a price decrease for 2025 but that's not going to happen.I would add interest rate increases to that also and a lack of FOMO in 2024
Not interested in starting any battles, because I don't have a dog in this fight aside from curiosity. I am sitting in my office looking for something productive to do and decided to do a little research.You really need to open your eyes and look at the market for Stingrays. The people who paid MSRP for 2024's and are still paying MSRP must be nuts. Most C8's hold 10k margin.

I have been in business a long time and I fully understand, sometimes, "a real good deal" is based solely on mis-information and a customers perception.
I checked on 2 of the dealers C8's listed above and compared their claimed "MSRP price, or was price", their actual window sticker price (off C8 tracker) and their stated "sales price". Here is what I found.
Shagnappi
VIN # 110354
Window sticker (includes dest) $128,109
Claimed MSRP $142,805
Sale price $128,011
Actual discount off window sticker $ 98
Lakewood
VIN # 08952
Window sticker (includes dest) $125,674
" Was price' $131,998
Sale price $123,530
Actual discount off window sticker $ 2,144
I may have made an error in my research or calculations, if so please let me know (this is a tongue in cheek comment of course about letting me know)
I hope everyone has a nice day and they get a chance to get their C8's out.

I'll throw a bit more reasoning into this supply/demand 'debate':
For anyone that didn't notice, we are in a bit of a recession.
The Construction industry, by example, is simply playing 'catch-up' with older projects, but new developments are non-existent.
Add to this the multitudes of immigrants arriving into the Country, and the unfortunate outcome is people are losing their jobs.
A little over a year ago, we could not find people to satisfy the site requirements.
Now, we have no less than 3 people a week wandering into our head office looking for work.
Believe it or not, but there are locations in Toronto that day labourers are lined up waiting for Contractors to scoop them up.
With this kind of uncertainty, do you really think the average working guy is out shopping for a Corvette?
Of course the demand has come down.

C8s are purely discretionary purchases and its no secret that money for toys has dried up. My buddy is a BRP and Marine dealer and he has never had as much non-current and current stock on the ground as he does today. Toys just arent selling regardless of the sales price.
I think MY25 is going to be a crappy year for C8 sales with expectations of a mid cycle refresh/new interior for MY26.
Does that decrease in interest rates include the Z06?

If I buy another C8 I'm buying it from Mr.Corvette. The amount of info and great help he has given people on here has been phenomenal.

Thank you sir and I will be happy to help find you what you want when the time's right. I do not work for GM but am in contact with them every day. Also if any of you have any questions or concerns get in touch with me and I will find out. I have found many members cars so far as mentioned on the testimonials thread, and since this is the 2025 allocation thread, if anyone is looking for a 2025 E-Ray or Z06 allocation let me know as a few might still be available that I am aware of.If I buy another C8 I'm buying it from Mr.Corvette.

Look for Stingray options to go up in price instead for 2025.
