As Chevrolet gears up to start production of the C8, the C7 needs to fly out of dealership lots. Customers are offered up to $9,404 in combined savings thanks to the “Supplier Pricing For Everyone” discount program, applicable to 2019 model year Corvette variants ranging from the Stingray to the ZR1.
Let that sink in for a minute, then remember what that means off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Curiously enough, Cars Direct reports “there were no incentives outside of the loyalty offer” last month. There are a few catches, though, starting with the purchasing process. First and foremost, these offers are only available when buying, not when leasing the 2019 Corvette.
In the case of the $9,404 discount mentioned in the first paragraph, “the fine print says the figure is based on an MSRP of $95,020.” Packing the MSRP isn’t something new in the automotive industry, and looking at the bigger picture, Chevrolet will have to do better in order to move these cars.
Thousands over thousands of orders for the C8 will ultimately translate into better offers this fall and probably in the winter as well, and worse still for the C7, the eighth generation will start at under $60,000 according to the golden bowtie. That’s incredible value for money in the case of a mid-engine sports car, let alone a ‘Vette that shoots to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds when equipped with the Z51 Performance Package that includes the performance exhaust.
Chevrolet dealerships will run the GM Supplier Pricing program through September 3rd, and the potential of over $9,000 in savings depends a lot on the eligibility of the buyer. Given these circumstances, we aren’t holding our breath for too many C7 customers during this period because there’s little sense to it.
The last-ever C7 built is a black Z06 which was auctioned not that long ago for a lot of money. More to the point, someone paid $2.7 million for the 650-horsepower land missile with super-sticky tires, and all proceeds went to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Smart Home program.
