Less than 1% affected. I’m thinking it has more to do with the fact this has been the best selling/mass produced sports car for the last 5 years + economic/seasonal conditions
Z06’s have discounts of at least 10k off. If a regular stingray isn’t discounted go online to any car website like car gurus or auto trader and find what you’re looking for. Do NOT pay MSRP or a mark up.
You can get the Z06 coupe with the 1LT package for 116k at several New Jersey dealerships! I wouldn't be surprised to see the Z06 go under 100k sometime next year.
You can get Zs at 95k already, 2 sold on the east coast this month under 100k. Market fell over but there are still dealers who haven't figured it out yet.
…Dear Chevrolet, I had saved 80k to buy a new c8, but i test drove one and although it’s beautiful, quick and well built, i found boredom creeping in after 20 minutes. I am a stickler for a stick shift. Yesterday i flew 1000 miles to buy a c6 gs 6 spd and drove it back to Tennessee. You need to make Corvettes great again, bring back 3 pedals!!
Having been part of the long C8 waiting in 2020, it's thrilling to see the lot quantities and discounts. I just ordered a 2025 Stingray HTC to replace my 2020 coupe. I was thrilled to get 10% off MSRP.
People think that a big discount is good. But in reality, the high interest will make up for the discount. Was looking for a 60k loan for a c8 with 7.9% interest rate and it cost me more when i took out 70k for my c7 at 2.99% 3 yrs ago
Thank you for the finance lesson @seanvangster. I think it's too late to change my deal to pay full MSRP. Given I'll be financing no more than $20K at 5.2%, I'll gladly accept the near $10K discount.off MSRP, and not worry about the loan rates in 2020.
Mike, I enjoyed the vid. Always good to look at inventory. You asked why so many 1LZ’s. I don’t know, but my guess is that the dealership has a budget and the buyers have to stay within that constraint
Huh? Dealer has a budget ? Buyers have to stay in that constraint? Doesn’t make much sense. The only player here with a budget is the consumer. Dealer probably orders the 1LZ because it’s the cheapest spec
@@Texas_Clay sure they do. But my point is that the dealer would/should order what sells- not based on some budget. A quick google search says 2LZ is the top seller. Additionally the buyer doesn’t need to stay in that constraint because they can drive to the next dealer and find what they want
Nice selection and good prices. I like the fact that you went through the entire inventory. This is my favorite corvette channel. I still have my 1991 black on black C4 which still gets a lot of attention, but look forward to upgrading to a C8 Z06 soon.
The problem today with ANY dealership, they do NOT sell anymore to the local residences, it's always to the highest bidder in the USA, so many times cool cars go out of state. You are bidding against a California or New York OR Florida billionaires. Buy a used car you like and keep it forever...
@@markhilsen2700 that was true for first 2 years for C8 Z51 and C8 Z06 and will start again for C8ZR1. GM dealers are now competing against used C8 and C8Z06
There are only so many people that want a Corvette. If they keep building more cars than the market can handle it’s only going to drive the prices down even further. The glory days are over.
Sounds to me that they’re just beginning. These cars are what I paid for my first home. Hoping the prices will continue to drop. I like the c7s plan to get my first corvette in the next few years
There is a fool born every minute and America has no shortage of fools,they will continue to buy these overpriced cars whether they can afford them or not.
@@SonnyPruitt-q1s I will never buy a brand new car. The price gets cut in half in 4 years and you figure out the issues that come with that car. Cars are the middle classes financial cigarette
@alexarnold3117 I have a local Chevy dealer that is trying to sell a 2 year old C8 1LT with 10,000 miles on it for 65k,that is what it cost new🤣 and then they send me a price drop notice of $300, $300 on a $60,000+ vehicle🤣🤣these people today are nuts...I would not give a penny over 51k for that car.
Nice walk through. Mcmulkin in NH has over 150 corvettes in stock , 25 plus Z06, only 1 Eray, no discounts mentioned on Z06s, but stingrays some are 12k off , others not as much. Seems things are normalizing.
1-2 Z sales a day LMAO, no they are not. Those of us who wanted a Z already have one, it's why we flooded the used market with stingrays. The ToL on these and stingrays is increasing weekly and dealers know it so they are trying to get them off the lot.
When these are 1-2 years old with 20K miles and outfitted with Thousands of Dollars of upgrades by the prior owner - when I am bored and have nothing better to do - I will pick one of these up for 1/2 price.
You were mentioning the discounts. It could have something to do with the weather. Nobody wants to drive one of these with 10 inches of snow on the ground.
@ yes I get it. They are still many of lots in Texas with multiple c8 that have been sitting. And you are right about being up north that should be even more of an incentive for price cuts to get them off the lot
With these prices are the stickers padded? Prices went up but not the warranty period of time! What gives you want more but we have to play the transmission game with no gains in parts longevity.
The new 10-spoke wheels are beautiful, but why does they call them spider design on the window sticker? If you look in the build&buy tool they call the new wheels 10-spoke and the old wheels are the spider design.
I am in Miami, with a C7 Z06 7-speed I love my car, but wouldn't mind going to a new Z06, or E-Ray, but my problems are two-fold 1. They don't offer sticks anymore 2. C8 Corvettes in Miami are like Corollas or Camrys. They are everywhere, so they aren't special cars
C8s now are much more expensive than before! GM will most likely reduce their production numbers as less people can afford them. Dealers have to discount! Mike I know you’re just trying to help this dealership advertise bc they are struggling to sell them !
The smart money buys their vette at Corvette World. Let the other guy take the depreciation beating at the dealership. Bought my SS Camero with 7k miles and used the money I saved to modify enegine, you know to beat those cocky c8 owners😂
Your still driving a Camaro and not every one gives a crap if your car is faster some people care about how they car looks and in that department you loose by a mile!!!
This. I've bought my last 3 vettes from them and had amazing experience. C6 GS Centennial Edition 3LT, C7 Z06 3LZ, C8 Z06 3LZ. Always at or below value and discounted and no bs addon fees.
Buy a Vette if you like it. The C8 is not exclusive…therefore it will depreciate. Cars are not good investments anyway-they are just toys for big boys(to be driven,no garage queens!).
The economy is no longer going to hold up overpriced toys..the days of Raptor pickups, Chargers and Corvettes over 100k is OVER! You will still get a few diehards paying these insane prices but lots are already overflowing with 80k and above stickered pickups, SUVS, exotics and of course, especially Corvettes and speciality Chargers.....the economy and average consumer spending power is definitely going to head lower for another 2 years minimum...s9 many if these overprice vehicles are going to end up rotting on theae lots forever until they get scrapped or unloaded for parts!
Had one and immediately sold it. Nothing impressive about the C8 at all. Z06 is a different story but the C8 is just a suped up Chevy Malibu and charging what they charge is nuts. Tons of used C8s out there so buying new makes zero sense.
I love the guys who listen to all the TH-camrs who get the whole car ceramic coated and have it completely covered with PPF and than get all the carbon fiber and all the after marker Wheels and the cool Exhaust and than after a couple years with maybe 3 thousand miles go out and sell it and lose $50k or more and than buy another Corvette then do it all over again 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The new design is not new now. It is common. The people with original fat wallets have rushed to purchase them and that’s all that’s left are us poor folk. The rich have blown their load already.
My husband and I both bought Corvettes. I bought a regular Corvette and he bought a Z6. I got 16% off and he got $7500 off to 06 those great deals everywhere. You just gotta look.
A Ford Mustang (under 7 minutes) beat a new Corvette Z06 (over 7 minutes) on the Nürburgring race track in Germany. This is one reason why some people are not buying overpriced Corvette.
That is definitely not the reason lmao. No one is comparing the GTD to a C8 z06 lmao. People aren't buying them because the market flooded, depreciated went up 5% on them and dealers are still trying to hang on to covid pricing model.
Best part he claims they sell 1-2 A DAY!!! With only 35 in stock!!! Right!!! So overpriced, right now Chevy is “rumoring” to inflate/falsify end of year numbers. Maybe selling 1-2 a week if they are number 10 Nationwide. I love the C8 but waiting until it’s rightly priced all your buying is plastic.
These gimicky dealers are charging 400 dollars for black wheel lugs and black lock lugs, 100 dollar item , everything else just bunch of overpriced add ons
I've got bad news for ya. Going from a widebody c7 to a narrow body c8, I hope you test drove one because if not you're going to be in for a surprise not in a good way.
179,000 for a 670 horsepower car Dodge needs to come out with another high horsepower v8 with about 800 horsepower for less than $80,000 and put GM out of its misery
I ordered a white 2025 2LT convertible with out black tip exhaust or red calipers. It's not worth 495 and 695 dollars to me. Also skipped the black roof, which looks really sharp, for 1295. I'm out the door for 89k. Can't have every thing, I set a maximum budget of 90K and didn't want to spend that much.

A Z06 for a $100k has to be the best performance bargain, next to when you could buy a new Camaro ZL1 1LE for $65k.
There’s better deals on used C8 Corvettes with really low miles. I say don’t waste your money buying a new one.
The people who couldn't wait and paid $20-$40k over sticker for a C8 must be growing donkey ears now.
@@gmpny3945 never pay list or over list for any car.

How much of a bath are you taking on the 2020 (honesty assumed)?

Go with the bronze.
Z06 at MSRP, Haha.
Those days are over.
I paid MSRP for mine, but as soon as Chevy releases a manual transmission I’m trading it in.
@@michaeljordan6008nah black looks the best. Silver looks cheap
I hate when dealers put ceramic coating on before PPF. Plus $2k for ceramic is a stealer rip off.
Chevrolet is aware of the glut. Next builds aren’t until mid January I do believe. Only one build cycle was done in December.

Patiently waiting for these Texas dealer clowns to get real. If not Rick conti or bomnin in Florida will get my business.
$1,995 for ceramic coating on that tiny car. It’s $100 of product and six hours of work. Mostly just waiting for the cure time.

Definitely plan to get 3lz. Big step up from 1lz.
Dealers having much trouble unloading erays and z06's w/o front lifts. 1LZ can't have front lift.
