    As a proud marine who served in the Korean conflict, Dad would only buy American. His loved his Chrysler and Buick cars, and it was a shame how Buick marketed their vehicles to an older, mainly white US depression-era targeted audience.

    They would start with an astronomical, exorbitant price, then apply ‘discounts’ accordingly. Dad came home from the dealer after one purchase almost gushing. He showed me the paperwork, my jaw dropped and it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut.

    I think it was a Park Avenue, and the starting price of the car was north of $ 50k. For a Buick. Then they applied the senior citizens discount, AARP discount, military discount, retired executive discount, etc.,etc. Dad was in heaven! He’d gotten the deal of the century in his mind.

    Poor fella, he didn’t realize he’d been fleeced from the get-go. Right at the top and perfectly legal. He could have bought a space shuttle for the initial selling price. Great marketing skills by GM.

    So, as a dealer you ordered the Corvettes from this Chevrolet dealer? Why doesn't the Chevrolet dealer just mark them up themselves?

    I don’t know why anyone would give AMG a hard time. Ferrari owners have been getting bent over by dealers for quite some time and they say “thank you very much.” He has a car that is a “hot commodity” right now and it makes good business sense to sell it at a premium. Nobody’s forcing anyone to buy it. If you don’t like the price move on. Simple.​

    It’s fascinating because he actually doesn’t have the cars. I’m just amazed that GM allows this within the dealer sales & service agreements. No argument with markups and I don’t believe in any such thing as price gouging, even during emergencies. There are only prices. And high prices, even during emergencies allows goods and services to rapidly go where they are needed the most.

    Gotta order some vettes!

    Before I forget, I think the new Corvette is an amazing machine, all of the performance without $500 oil changes. Congrats and enjoy in good health to all that get one!

    I think I just saw one on the road today. :eek: First thought was a Ferrari.

    This is GM's equivalent of Porsche's Boxster.

    Game changer.

    IMHO

    Yup, I was on the fence "when" I would buy one until I saw my first in the wild. Went home and put a grand down on a slot that comes up in April. America's hypercar, no excuses, no asterisks. I'm in.

    This is the current plan. I'd rather Zeus Bronze but my son's having none of it. I think bronze looks great but I also always wanted an orange race car, so I guess that's what it'll be. LT3, natural interior, every possible CF option, skipping Z51 to avoid the wing, but if we can override and do the Z51 without the wing, I will.

    This was my first choice but warming up to the orange. I'd still probably take this first, swap the two tone interior for natural dipped, body color exterior accents. Thinking about the carbon flash metallic racing stripe but on the fence.

    IMHO the car looks best in black. I saw a matte black one on the road yesterday. Amazing spec.

    To each his own. I hate black. I wouldn't even have black interior accents on the orange build if I didn't need some transition from the orange to the natural tan. That's another override I'm hoping to make. I want black accents that are visible from the exterior like the dash so the tan doesn't clash with the orange but nothing else.

    Exactly! Clean looks better. The car is busy enough it doesn't need the bling and it's silly to pretend I would ever do anything with that car where the wing would make any difference at all. No poser here. I know I can't drive for ****.

    I think its rude to come to this thread and criticize his price. When did Capitalism become a bad thing?

    not the price.... the market place additional "fee" over suggested retail exploiting a scarcity and peoples desire to "have it now" above and beyond what a normally fair "price" would have been if a middleman advantage taker wouldn't have stepped in. Profit is good, but profit with no value added and outside an authorized dealership support structure is really taking advantage of a situation, but each party (buyer and seller) are adults and can make up their own minds and agree if the "deal" is a good one or if a deal is fair or not.
