[QUOTE="gone, post: 223884, member: 5899"] Murray is "the numbers man" so we should all bow to his expertise. We of course have a shortage of C8's for 2020. Like Murray, I'm predicting another shortage for 2021 due to the shorter than normal production time (2020's still being produced close to the end of this calendar year), plus GM will start selling 2021's overseas. Most dealers are asking $5,000 for a deposit, so I'd not recommend leaving a deposit with 3 dealers unless you've got money to burn. Many dealers have a [U]really[/U] hard time returning deposits, depending upon the facts.
