One other advantage is that the trade in covered more than the cost of the '23, so no sales tax.
Wow can’t believe you’re getting a 23 for as much as you trade it in your 21 is it good man . I did the same thing traded my 21 coup on my pre ordered 23 HTC .
Mined you its a Anniversary edition . They gave me what I paid for the car plus 10 . So it still cost me over 20 . And my extended warranty was transferred As it wasn’t used from the 21 to the 23 . No cost on that . I guess it’s just the way it’s optioned out . Good deal man . Kudos to you

What about the federal luxury tax which I though was assessed on the gross sale amount before trades etc.? Good on you two.
Yes lux tax applies on gross over $100K before trade in.
OKAY. Not talking too much $$$$!
Good for you.
Did you guys trading in your C8's not have to give them the car right away?
Yeah after mine came in . three days later I dropped mine off and picked a new one up . Either way it’s all good I’m so happy with my new one . Sure wish it was a Z 06 but LOL. Can’t have it all
So when you made your deal did was the trade deal negotiated? And how long did you wait for the new one?
I drove mine down so they could give me a value on it after the new one arrived. .. I just had to see it lol . Plus they know my car in the options . And what i did to it . Their policy i think, is they can’t take a trade If I’m not mistaken until the day the vehicles made . Could be wrong ? . I wasn’t offering mine until my new one came in either way lol
Had to sign a bunch of paperwork stating I had no claims or accidents . They give me a value when I came in to see it .( They knew the car Butter manager had to see it ).three days later I had a money order for the difference and dropped one off and picked up the new one . It’s all good bro . mine was ordered like I said . Not trying to call anybody out on this issue. But I think that’s a normal way business is done on trades . Now every dealer is different . Now like I said . having a few options like the 70th anniversary , I have a full mag ride ,front left HTC , And a few others lol it’s not hard to get 20,000 above the norm . They could give values but until the new one comes in with today’s dealer. it’s anything can happen lol . I know the base price with a few options comes in well below my trade-in value

Butter ( Hopefully smooth that one over ) 
In my case, I placed my order for the new car and the value of my trade in would be determined when the new car arrived and I handed over the first car. That would take about 18 or more months. After about 12 months I "sold" my car back to the dealer.. for it to be used as the trade in. I received a cheque for the amount they gave me. When my new car arrives, I will pay for it from the amount that the cheque contained. The first car will still be considered as the trade in, thus saving sales tax.

I bet it was a voice to text message. "But their" = butterButter ( Hopefully smooth that one over )
Funny world when you can trade in your "old" car for more than your new one! I guess there isn't great risk in the used car price going down (I sold my 84 vette in 88 for the same price I originally paid) but I can't get my head around a higher price than new. But, when opportunity knocks!!
Looks like a Nov. 1 built according to my VIN#
Thanks to Murray who got in touch with Shane from the Corvette museum
Winter there soon; so, no hurry, eh? LOL
My hometown is not far away - London .
My friend got his C8 last month from the same dealer in 5 days after it was produced they had a empty spot on the truck. Hope to get my before mid November
Just in time to put it to bed. Pics when you get it.
Usually over the years I have driven my C6 into Dec. that is my logic for the all season. I am 74 yrs. young I have no time to waste my Vettes have always been drivers averaging 15000 km. a yr.. Have owned 6 Vettes since I was 19. In the early days many owners had snow tires on including my split window
