Good luck on the discount, it is now happening in the US on 2016 models and I suspect will start in Canada i the fall. You might be able to strike something on a 2016 that is still on the lot in September or October or if you are lucky in later August as the first 2017 models should be being delivered in Canada next week or the week after and they will be in short supply until September particularly coupes with the manual transmission which will not start production until mid August or Z06s which will not start production till the early fall. I see from a post here that a dealer in Edmonton is offering a small discount on some 2016s that are currently on the lot. From what I am seeing the 2016 models on the lots often have an odd combination of options that I have no interest in. Options are such a personal thing it is very hard to predict what purchasers might want. Personally, I am not interested in getting a $3000 discount on a model that has a carbon fiber roof insert that adds $2000 plus tax on the option list. When I was exploring trading my 2014 Z51 I researched all over Southern Ontario and Western Quebec and couldn't find a single discount other than several agreed to waive the "documentation" charge. The other critical consideration if ordering a new 2017 is the dealer's allocation. If the dealer does not have a history of substantial Corvette sales they may have a very low allocation and you could wait until November or December for a new unit - just in time to put it into storage. Probably your best bet is to get a better price on the value of your trade in. That is what I ended up looking for and was reasonably successful after all the difference is what is critical. However, in order to get that deal I had to turn in my 2014 Z51 back in May and I don't expect my 2017 GS to be here till September. Good luck, the C7 is a game changer in Corvette development. I had 36,000 km on mine when I traded it in May.

My other salesguy (at Wilson Niblitt) just told me it's 75895 + delivery. It's possible that my other guy was including the delivery in his quote. Still no pricing on options.
Yep, I got that info today too. It was $75,895 plus $2000 freight plus $100 air tax plus options and no price on options. That puts it very close to the US pattern of 2016 base price plus $10k. Our 2016 base price was $64,495. I suspect options will be much the same, US price plus 7-8% but in Canadian $$. Looks promising.

Sweet. I'm happy! I'm not sure if I am going to stick with the 1LT or stretch to the 2LT.
A few days ago just for fun I went into my local Chevy dealer (who I never deal with because they are never willing to deal on pricing on any car) and asked him if he had any word on pricing. He was honest and said he didn't know but then then he guesstimated it would come in at 90k....facepalm. Some of these guys are clueless!
The 2LT option comes with a lot of nice little extras. I had major angst over it the first time around and finally went with it and glad I did, however, could not justify the extra jump to 3LT and still feel the same about that package.

Lots of good reviews popping up on the GS.
2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Manual - Instrumented Test
Basically a really good value prop if you are in the market for a Z51 with MRC you'll want to consider a GS for a little extra.

Hoo boy! That price is terrific. Way to go, GM Canada for not stiffing us like Ford does (re: price of GT350 in this country). And I am not a fanboy of any particular brand.
This is gonna make it hard to order "just" a Z51 and not go whole hog for a Grand Sport next year. Ah, first world problems....
I just wish either Chevrolet's website or carcostcanada.com would put the prices up so I can actually see them, and all the options.

Of course GM Canada has a great price. They're only going to bring 20 of them in to Canada. Juuuuuuuuuuust kidding. I really do hope they make enough for Canada though and don't make it as tough to get like the Z.

You can say falling again in the US..... Boardwalk has 2016 new Z06's at $20K off....... Tim is great!
C7 Corvettes for Sale - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
And in AB prices falling a lot. SOme dealers, one in particular still has new 2015's advertized $10K OFF but will go deeper....$12.8K via emial. If they don't sell in another month or so they will be even cheaper. IF $15K we might bite....

Nothing would make me happier but US though, there's oversupply of Z's. Happy to see old stock still kicking around and discounts cropping up.
One would hope to see better allocations up here if they can't sell enough of them down there but who knows how GM's mind works these days.
They need to go deep, that 2015 is now a two year old car even though it has no miles. There are now 2017 Corvettes on showroom floors in Canada. Wilson Niblett has two Grand Sports on the floor right now. Then again, if someone wants that particular model and is going to keep the car for a decade or more then a year here and there is not that important and it could be a great buy.

First GS spotted on Kijiji a couple of days ago, was blue and 95k. Listing disappeared quick enough so didn't catch the dealer or spec.
Good morning all.
Was at a dealer in Toronto over the weekend-can’t believe the number of Grand Sports they have on the lot. beautiful vehicles, some are spoken for but again-no official pricing.
Anyways, I`m close to striking a deal on a new outgoing 2016 Z51 manual-anyone have an opinion on the following post sale items? I for one never purchase extended warranty or any of this additional type of protection. I do plan to keep the car for at least 5yrs and just wondering if it is worth the peace of mind?
Protection Package $1699
Appearance Package $1589
Tire and Rim 5 years $2500
Total Loss Protection $1299

I have never even heard of some of these options. Total loss protection is covered by your insurance company and much much cheaper than buying it through a dealer IMO. I 'personally' would not invest in any of this but am curious what most of these consist of. Oh an who is the dealer? I might believe WN would be the only to get that many GS's.
Thanks for the quick response AllFlash.
I`ve asked for the fine print. They mentioned they haven`t sold one vette without some of these options-of course that`s sales pitch. I`m sure I can get good detailing (interior and exterior) done with some warranty on my own for a lot cheaper. I`m inclined to decline all-7% of the total value is really steep!!! I`m buying new 2016 z51, 2LT, LBR manual with Kalahari interior, transparent roof, Navi, carbon flash mirrors and rear spoiler. Sooo excited. Get to drive 2006 Z51 from Ottawa to To. and drive back 10yr newer Stingray starting at 11km.

Guidance on: Tire and Rim at 2.5. It's ludicrous 
. Keep in mind that specific item covers replacement or repair if you damage your wheel hard enough to not retain air. If you do that you'll be looking at an insurance claim to go along with replacing bits of suspension so you'll never use it.
. Keep in mind that specific item covers replacement or repair if you damage your wheel hard enough to not retain air. If you do that you'll be looking at an insurance claim to go along with replacing bits of suspension so you'll never use it.These are all dealer added items and not part of the normal Corvette option list. Don't know what all is included but I would not touch any of them given past experience working in the industry. These are super high dealer margin items (75%+ profit) and the insured items are usually underwritten by a third party. Terms are very restrictive. Make sure you know exactly what is included for that big $$. If it is just an interior and exterior detailing package and you don't want to apply some wax and leather protectorant yourself then take it to a top line detailer who will do it for 85% less. The Corvette is a small car and amazingly easy and quick to detail even at a high level especially when new.
I stopped in at Wilson-Niblett on Friday and saw a couple of GS on the lot, they looked great. Still no word yet on when Bowling Green is starting production on manual transmission models yet. As of the first of last week GM was still not accepting orders for manual transmission models into their computer system so all orders are sitting at code 1000. Hopefully production started last week and Canadian orders for manual transmission models will get a code 3000 before too long.
Sorry David WG, I forgot about the manual trans thing. When at the plant July 15 and 18 watching our GS get assembled, I asked 3 people on the line as well as my tour guide about the manuals. I even talked with Kai Spande Plant Mgr. Basically the responses I got were all similar. Sequencing. Might be a supplier thing, could be due to volume of A8's ordered for MY2017 start up. No indication of anything out of the ordinary. Sorry I didn't find out anything more definitive than that.As for Extra dealer options. I just took delivery of our 2017 GS and the 5yr tire and wheel package was $656. The 84 mth 80,000K zero deductible Total Plus Pkg. ( extended warranty) Like $3000.
On a car like the C7 I always take the Total Plus pkg. Cost of repair on these is astronomical.
