2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray

How hard are they going to be (re buying one)?

I really like this, and need something beside a truck for "fun".

Part of me is pleased they are going to be hard to get. I know if I could get one now at MSRP I would, but I would have buyers remorse once the parking lots were full of them.:nuts:

They aren't going to be hard to get. GM has just had some stumbles with the production starting and the initial demand. You can literally order the lowest spec you want and pay exactly that price (including the usual charges).

They won't be hard to get at all. However, the models the dealers will likely get will probably be pretty optioned up. I expect the ones that dealer will have on their lots will be the middle optioned versions (so around $75-78k USD). You can get the base spec and add the performance package and it will be around $66k if you order.

However, if you go crazy with the options, you can spec out a $120k car from a base price of $60k.

I read the first years scheduled production has already been sold/reserved.

Also, there are likely to be people who put in for a "reserved" spot that will not claim their car (due to length of time to deliver). There will be plenty available this year for those that didn't put in a reserve last year. Happens all the time with new cars.

Also, some people are just buying them to put them up for auction afterwards.
 
I don't think this just any new car.

Did some forum reading... some dealers have "sold" half their 1000 car allocation. I read that like if one ordered now they might get a car in August.
 
Well I went to see Hendrick's personal collection today, but the C8 wasn't there yet, nor was the laferrari. So many awesome cars though. :drool:

A few things...

The "allocations" are not all "cash" spots. i.e. some dealers allowed people to reserve spots with no money. This is one of the reasons for the allocations not to be considered as taken. Also, as you mentioned, "half" of the allocations. If we play the numbers game; GM originally scoped for 40k to be made this year. Given the strike and other delays, they may not hit that number but let's just use that for now. If every dealer had half of their allocations "sold", that leaves 20k cars open for everyone else.

I hope this pushes C6Z's closer to my price point..

Maybe, but Im personally thinking it won't do much. The C6Z prices refuse to budge much in the past 6 years. They've been hovering around $32k for a sub 40k mile decent car. Like the 09+ CTS-V, the price is rock solid.
 
I think how different the C8 is will keep the price of all prior Corvette's in the same range. Purists like their front-engine beasts.

I'm being wishful for my own desires, but I'm perfectly fine going C5Z. I've found a few good looking C6Z's in the 50k mile mark for $27-29k, but without having looked at them in person I can't be too sure.

Yeah, there are a few outliers.

I'm with ya though, been watching the prices for years now. I've been wanting to retire the yellow C5Z and start a new project car, so thinking about a C6Z or a C7 Z51 and slapping a supercharger on it.
 
I've owned both generation of real MR2s (the MRS doesn't count), and I LOVED that mid engine setup. They weren't nearly as composed as this will be, but hot damn they were fun to drive.
 
Doug Score = 68

I think he under rated Styling, Practicality(trunk fits two golf bags) and Value.
