Best to ask as mentioned above. Just a thought that the price might be with the luxury tax included. When you do your build online there is an estimated luxe tax included in the price. So only a guess .
 
This dealership recently informed me that they got a good number of 2024's this week. Also to expect a phone call later in the week about an allocation for me. Then figure out if it's worth trading in my 2022 for a 2024 or keep it . This one is not my colour of choice and I'm definitely not crazy about the interior. Also debating on going non Z51 which I have now.
 
MSRP is 128K, why is the price 134 903$? Did they add something to it?
Hi Mathiew, I have corrected the price on the Orange HTC to MSRP. A little growing pains as Nik and I work to launch the Showcase for members to see
current cars that are available immediately. If anyone knows of a car that is available please let me know so I can contact the dealer to see if they wish to
participate by listing their car here.
Thanks
Scott

C8 Cars for sale Across Canada
There are some dealers that are already sponsors to this Forum. The idea is generate more dealer participation by having any cars that become available shown on CCF first at least a week faster than an ad can appear on auto trader with the platform they use. This summer I helped a dealer sell a car that became available within 1 hour to one of our Ontario members. Recently a Z06 was sold in the same fashion and that dealer contacted me this week about another car that was available. The market is changing now for these cars as the lists have pretty much run out. We want to capitalize on our advantage by posting what's available here first for members and generate some support along the way.

I have been wondering for a while why there have been so many C8s for sale with such low mileage . My assumption is that they were scalpers flipping them. Yes , lowlifes IMHO. So it now seems that due to price increases and time of year and much better availability they are now paying the price or rather not being paid the price. Looks good on them. Nice to see that those that have patiently waited so long can finally get their hands on one. Karma comes through again.
 
Quite possibly many people ordered them with the intention of selling them shortly after taking delivery and making a few dollars, but is that not someones choice? Regardless not wishing to head down an open ended road on whats right for each other quite possibly many others purchased them because they were caught up in the buying frenzies from the COVID era and have since realized they simply cannot afford them? Lets not forget it was not long ago anything you had for sale would return a crazy price! A 2020 Corvette would land and be sold in record time for crazy money over list? Things were truly becoming out of whack. Look at housing how crazy that went! That was a good indicator of just how quickly supply and demand went ballistic , and those same folks are absolutely screwed with rates continuing to fluctuate. Look online at realtor.ca and now there are hundreds of places for sale within a small area whereas not long ago it was slim pickings...

Porsche 911's just like C8's were becoming an insane commodity - then when interest rates began to climb many were forced to re-think said toys. I watched a fantastic review of the user car market from Jay Emms perspective focusing more so on Porsche but a lot of what he says stands the same with C8's in my mind. I would say to anyone looking at buying a C8 - if you can afford to buy it outright , and if you afford to lose on it, just as buying a new car not long ago meant just that - then perfect! If you are gambling on buying it and making a ton of dough just think about that long and hard. These are not 1953 Vettes or split window coupes, these are brand new models of which there are thousands of them now on the market - what was it close to 50,000 to be produced for this year!

I didn’t mean to imply that it was all the result of scalping but for the ones that were it’s still a very distasteful practice . Have you tried to buy a concert ticket lately? Or a PlayStation for your family at Christmas during the pandemic ? Or a sporting event ticket? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Housing is another kettle of fish altogether. I really feel for homeowners facing renewals. On the other hand they are lucky this isn’t the 80’s .

Yep my last car was 1.49% . Now it's 7 or 8% with good credit. Not that I recommend taking it but think $100,000 at 8% . I won't be surprised to see more new and perhaps below MSRP 2024's on GM lots in 2024 . Bought mine to drive and I have no grand ideas that i have a collector cars. Had mine out today , plus 4 and dry roads. Very Nice !

Yes, $33000.00 in interest over 84 months, absolutely nuts!
If someone has to finance they are way ahead of the game if they can get a demand loan. Even if the rate is a bit higher. Pay off any amount any time with no penalty if you come into some spare cash like the seven income tax returns they will receive over that time span for example.

Very valid point or borrow against LOC using house as collateral. Still pay down whenever and typically no strings attached.

Number one rule about debt, other than avoiding it is of course to pay off the highest interest debt first. I have always been a fan of paying cash for everything. Much more satisfying than paying any interest if you have the patience to wait until you can actually afford whatever it is you happen to want. I doubt we will ever see C8’s at 0% GM financing though.

That kind of LOC is still 7.4% . The key is to have the cash to pay down fast if you are going that way. As far as car loans go for some perhaps many they may of qualified for 2% loans but fell out at or before 8% . The qualified customer pool is definitely smaller with these rates plus compounded with this 2024 price increase.
