Boy other dealers gonna be Pissed(the crooked ones) at you but consumers need to be jumping for joy, someone in the industry is kicking knowledge on car sales. Great information
@Malcolm Reynolds 93k for a maxed out 3lt z51 is hella deal. It's all relative to your finances. The people that can afford this is pretty much any cat with a decent career. If you making 40k a yr you are probably right in the ballpark for an entry level vette.
Jay DKB I probably wouldn’t recommend spending 150% of your yearly salary on a brand new base model vette, but you know I’m sure it probably happens pretty often
I seen that same post on IG and immediately knew it was fake because when you build a c8 the price doesnt show up And I think the nose lift is standard
Canceled my mustang order yesterday and placed deposit for new c8. Can't order yet in canada but very soon I am told. They are taking deposits now though.
Don’t let this corvette distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry'sm and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
Hey the “auto” in the C8 is a dual clutch transmission that has no torque converter - huge difference in driving dynamics and how you approach gear selection for corners etc...just a point. Thanks for the video.
Before seeing your video, guessed $75K for Z51 3LT, mag ride, two tone interior, NCM delivery "a must" best time one or two will ever have buying and receiving a Corvette. Thank you, makes sense. NCM1730
I gave the video a thumbs up (but gave it one demerit for the burnout; not a fan of just wasting rubber and don't even get me started on drifting as a sport). Loved the other commentary of pricing which made a whole lot of sense. And I hope you are right (on pricing) as I still may be a 'player'; pricing too much higher just puts me out in never-never land.
Not to mention I think the guy that made that post might actually be correct. Maybe he was off on the z51 package but otherwise it looks good. We’ll see.
Aehso B same here. Looks of a ZO6 with the 6.2 of the stingray. I don’t need 700+ HP(I’m nowhere near the driver to drive all that power), plus I live in bumper to bumper traffic with stop signs and red lights and speed cameras on every block . 500 HP with a good old corsa exhaust is all I need.
yeah, that's my car too! First Vette I bought was a grand sport off the show room floor at age 22. I was busting my ass working long hours at a good paying job and just started producing music for commercials. Loved that car! Such a sleeper and it's fast enough! Let's be honest, no one can't really push these cars unless you are on a track!
@@ricky3506 actually, they do beef up the engine a little (between a stingray and a Z06) plus some other added refinements. The special interior options for Grand Sports are down right SEXY AS HELL!
2020 C8 is a 2 year goal for me. I am retiring from the Navy in November and hopefully will have a lucrative career already underway by the middle of September while on terminal leave. I love this new Vet, but I also need a truck and wife wants us to get an RV. I hope I can figure it out! Thanks brother for all the great info, and until I get mine I'll have to live vicariously through you and Mike (Streetspeed717)!
Do deep research on the RV you choose to buy -- a lot of them are piles of junk, and the manufacturers are almost impossible to deal with, and you have little to no recourse against poor workmanship. Look up the Lehto's Law video on RV's here on UA-cam. Also, you probably won't make enough to pay for a Vette, truck, *and* RV.
He daily’s the Camaro. See him coming home all the time. Guess he be using the vets to daily. I daily drive my c6 more than my SS an that’s why I bought the ss. So he made right choice IMO
WOAH!!! I thought my $111,000 estimate build was a joke but it seems closer than I thought! If you do true carbon fiber ground effects (not carbon flash) I’m guessing it’s almost double so let’s add $3000. Then $2000 for a true carbon fiber rear wing. Then $1000 for interior carbon fiber. Front lift is probably all of $3500. I bet the 3LT goes up a lot because of all the new safety technology, let’s say $2000 more. Plus let’s do a 10% increase in costs of options over the C7 for add ons that are the same (inflation). So now we take $93,000-$59,000 and get $34,000 in C7 options after base. That now becomes roughly $37,500 on our new C8 build... nothing crazy there but now let’s do the math. So now some new C8 Corvette estimate build math... $60,000 base car plus $37,500 in old options is $97,500. Then we add the new goodies that could be roughly $11,500 more if you want them all bringing it to $109,000!!! Less than $2500 off! 😳😳😳 and that didn’t include Tax, Title, and License... Interesting... if anyone wants to message me further and have a friendly debate I’m open to it at @Z06Realtor on Instagram 🙂 and just for the record I love Corvettes, I have a Corvette, I bought my dad a Corvette (wanted the best son award), and I’m just doing this for fun because I love the discussion! I hope my estimate is off because I would love to make the C8 my next Corvette 😃 but maybe I’ll wait for the Twin-Turbo monster coming in next year or so! 😈
I didn't realize you were here in Louisville. I won't be going first year on this, but seriously considering picking one up the following year. I'll have to come by and see you.
@@Dylan-xj8tb Z51 is a great option, I don't need that option. I did not have it on my '14 & did not miss it. The only option I might consider is the Camaro looking spoiler.
Can you do a video on the financings of the c8. Do you put deposit down and secure financing when the car arrives or do you place order and persu financing immediately and start paying on it before you recieave it? Thank you local buyer interested
Honda NsX?? Ferrari 488??? This Corvette looks good because it's a blunt copy of those other cars..the price if truly around 50k$ will make it fly off the shelf...but why kill an icon to copy so evidently others?
You should talk about how the engine maintenance and repair is going to be. It seems like it will be a lot more labor intensive, simple things like spark plugs or water pump could be very expensive.
All new car, new technology, first year Corvettes not particularly reliable using proven technology, what could possibly go wrong. I will wait a couple of years while the eager buyers are test driving for GM.
Navy federal will finance new cars for 7 yrs. You can put down good money get low interest rate for long term double your payments every few months and technically save bucks AND drive a bad ass ride. Do a UA-cam channel on your vette and let UA-cam pay part or all your car payment lol
Chevy dude, thanks for all your videos on Vettes. I have a question for you, so are the C7 prices at the dealerships (the outstanding inventory -both used and new) declining now that the C8 is out? what type of leverage do we have in negotiations around C7s if any? I appreciate any pointers. I love the C7, not really big fan of C8 style.
"Only $98K"? Add the nose lift at $3K and it's $101K. The big assumption here is that the pricing on the xLT levels being the same as C7 and the really big assumption is the Z51 being only $5K. I think he would have been off just saying "Wait for the pricing on 8/15."
If you have 93k for a car then you have 111k anyways. The point it that no one is going to drive off the lot in a c8 paying anything close to 60k. You also didn't factor in any deal markup that we all know is going to happen as well. 100k+ is very probable.
This is why you have a relationship will your dealer. Mine knows not to pull any of that crap and to sell me the hot car at sticker or I wont be coming back.
spazzman90 sticker? If I don’t get my discounts they can keep it. In six months they’ll be giving them away. Always turns out that way regardless of make or model.
spazzman90 no discounts? Well then they can keep it. With GM ramping up production of the new vette, IMO they’re going to over produce them. This will saturate the market not only devaluing the ones that will sit on the lot but also the ones the fools who bought at launch as well as the complete financial idiots that pay a dealer markup. That’s like lightning money on fire.
Corvette has been around for 60+ years and mass produced not a set of 1,000 Furrds they keep harping on. Corvette is available to all unlike the handful of niche cars.
Regarding the C8 I will never have my car on the track. For resale purposes would you recommend the Z51 or 2LT interior? Depending on the price and staying at a budget of $70k which would you recommend? Thank you
I never buy a car not to enjoy it resale never ever crosses my mind I have a c7 z06 and track it every chance I get I enjoy my cars and I will be buying a c8 z06 and yes I will track it .
Don’t know how true it is, but there’s a lot of claim that dealers are asking like $5,000 up charge? If I didn’t already have a $1,200 mo truck payment, I would try to get a new 18 or 19 z06
blackassassin 5 Lol .. I feel ya, but it’s hard to drive a $70,000 truck for $700 or $800 mo. If it would have put us in a paycheck to paycheck situation, would have never done it. That’s a good price on the new vet though!
Nice car . . But Why did not you think? You can manufacture it with a weight of 1300 kg or even less weight with a four wheel drive system. . The car will be a very difficult equation ...... If they made it with less weight. . After modified will compete supercar
Here is something that dawned on me yesterday. Being a mid engine and that engine is sandwiched into the engine bay, do you think that the maintenance and repairs on the engine will be at exotic car levels? I'm sure oil changes won't be too bad but what about water pump, serpentine belt?
I know its really early but do have any info or opinions on what the maintenance costs or extended warranties will be? Since this in GM 's 1st Mid engine corvette i have heard labor costs will be higher due to the engine?
Never understood the museum delivery. They want me to pay extra to move the car from the assembly line across the parking lot to pick it up? If I can pick the thing up at the factory, then why can’t I just buy the car directly from gm and cut out the middle man?
jim nielsen When I bought mine in 2011, I think it was $800. I never did it as I thought it was foolish then and believe it’s foolish now. There is absolutely NO reason to go through a dealer to buy a car and then pick it up at the factory/museum. This guys wants you to do that this way the dealer never inventories the car.
djwlopez they can keep it then. Only a complete idiot would even speak to a dealer on a marked up vehicle. Even at 60k it’s a tough sale. Vettes just aren’t practical unless you live in a warm climate and are single.
Hey Chevy Dude I have a question! This dealership I’m talking to says they can hold a car for me but I’ll have to put money down on the car for them to hold it, which makes sense, but is it worth it?? And how much is it usually.
@R May , It seems like it's probably a moot point anyways. My sales buddy just said he doesn't think it's even possible to get a first year car anymore
Mike, I've been looking at my options, on GM site, picking out colors, options on a new 2020 Corvettte, trim level 3, whatever it was called. In bright orange color, with full length black stripes, and the full tan, or natural color leather interior. I know you said you didn't like that interior color, but I don't care for black interior, and I like a tan colored interior. With black upgrade wheels/rims. Carbon roof panels, and larger size carbon spoiler. It looks frickin sick dude! GM knocked it out of the park with the new mid engine Corvette. The best looking Corvette ever, by a long shot. It's sick man.
Ford just freaking out is all that price sheet shit was. C8 is a serious steal and I say they feel kinda somewhat damn stupid with the price for the new GT500 and that damn 500k GT...beautiful cars but, come on.
Joe Foster GT500 has 760Hp though and the GTs are being resold for a whooping 1.5 Million and don’t think they feel stupid at all with a cool 1 million in profit.
@@Jimmyxsx Ford isn't selling them for 1.5mil, that's after the can't sell your car contract is up, if your lucky enough they choose you for one...at the end of the day it's a ford . C8 0 to 60 less that 3sec for under 60k, come on man and it looks just as good as the GT. As for the the GT500 mark UPs, not worth the BS. Any one can get a C8. You get a C8 and you get a C8 and you get a C8....its alot more car for the price and if you dont like it after you get you can get rid of the pos. All 3 are beautiful cars, just the Vette is such a better buy and ford has been acting like their shit has stopped stinking, guess more the dealerships than Co.
@@lsdemon7773they all know the C8 is to good of a deal to pass up on lol. 75 to 90k you could have a monster of a car that can hang with the best of them and beat most. Chevy did a fantastic job on this car.
$45k is too little pay, especially if you have non-mortgage debt. I heard somewhere, that you want the total value of all your cars and boats to be no more than half your income.
I own a G8 Gxp and has a manual transmission. Yes automatic is faster but I love the feeling of shifting gears. Something the autos don't have the same feeling.
cant imagine the lift suspension costing too much, it probably requires magnetic ride control , so in addition to that its some sensors or a camera and a software update / addition. so if you exclude the 5k to get the mag ride control in the z51 package id throw out a guess that it'll cost an additional 700-1000 dollars?
Hi Chevy Dude. In 50 years of buying new cars I have never met an honest car salesman. Refreshing to see your commitment to transparency. By the way I see if you order the front lift on a 2LT for $1595.00 you must order the microfiber steering wheel for $595. Now that sounds odd and kicks up the price of the lift $2200.00 Can you confirm this. Thanks
How u get 200 miles on Z? That still considered brand new. I don’t have the cash to buy. Just curious. I’ve seen some others for sale with around same miles
Strongly considering getting rid of my low-mileage '17 2SS Camaro in order to put myself in position for a 2021 C8. It will suck to part ways with it, I've had some fun with it, but I think it'll be more than worth it in the end...
Hey Chevy Dude, been looking to buy a new car recently within the next coming month. But the MSRP is still around the 28.5 to 29.4 grand range, but the truecar and KBB lists the price around 25.7 to 26.3 grand. So, how would you approach this situation to spend the roght amount of cash for a new car that is almost a year older.
3LT z51 with spoiler, mag ride, black wheels, and red engine cover. Any color, because you can’t get it in plum silk wrap!!! How much? Because I’ll be trading a 2018 mustang gT (manual)
I can guarantee those prices listed are accurate, you're looking to spend at least 100k unless you get it bare-boned. Looks like i'll be keeping my c7.
I think you should keep your Camaro or sell both the Camaro & your Corvette. Once you get your C8 I think your interest in your current Corvette will drop. You'll be driving your C8 instead.
What is your opinion on dealers doing mark ups. That is the rumor I keep hearing. Kind of like when the Shelby f150 came out and dealers we're adding $20,000 to the price.
@Chevy Dude Lamborghini Ferrari Porche Chevy is coming for you Dont cry #GAMECHANGER PS @MD My local dealer threw out the $10,000 above MSRP and Fees when I told him I was planning on going to Louisville to buy He said, "Mike Davenport" I said yes an honest dealer is hard to come buy lol His whole demeanor changed He knows u on Facebook and said MSRP, TTL, and call it a day lol Broooo your changing the game Thank you for being real and a huge blessing to all of us mid level income guys and making dreams accessible for us. God Bless You Chevy Dude !!!
Does GM give employee discounts for specialty vehicles such as the ZR1? I know that Ford doesn't give any discounts for any of theirs, not sure about FCA. Just curious if they're sticklers about that or not. Personally I'm not a fan of things like that but it is what it is. 58k is a really good starting price for what you're getting with that car though. Even if it is a base model.
If I want to order the 2020 from you and have it delivered to sc how much over MSRP are you gonna charge? I've called local Chevy dealers and they haven't got a straight answer. They say 10-15 over msrp and I wont do that
Yeah, most people genuinely can't afford to buy one of these cars, or any really expensive cars, for that matter. I can't blame you for being debt-averse.
I'm going to wait for C8 Z06 with the Twin-Turbo 4.2L V8 Blackwing LTA . I'm betting it puts out over 700hp. I heard 745hp. But I think that GM missed a good/cool thing if they don't put out and 800hp model because It being the all-new rear engine C8, They should have made a C8 800hp. Maybe the new C8 ZR1 will put out 800 ponies. lol.
@Paul Paul, I posted the wrong link, there are so many of them I thought that was it. Here's the link I meant to post. And it's true, It is coming! gmauthority.com/blog/2019/07/twin-turbo-v8-lt7-engine-for-c8-corvette-z06-leaks/

@@jimbeam4111 yeah, no way you're getting any discount on the first units that roll off the truck.
spazzman90 no discounts? Well then they can keep it. With GM ramping up production of the new vette, IMO they’re going to over produce them. This will saturate the market not only devaluing the ones that will sit on the lot but also the ones the fools who bought at launch as well as the complete financial idiots that pay a dealer markup. That’s like lightning money on fire.
From England, just subscribed, we could do with more salesman like you here. Loving the new C8!
Corvette has been around for 60+ years and mass produced not a set of 1,000 Furrds they keep harping on. Corvette is available to all unlike the handful of niche cars.
What will the Z06 start at without any options? Car and Driver says $85k, is that right? 🙏 Thanks.
Regarding the C8 I will never have my car on the track. For resale purposes would you recommend the Z51 or 2LT interior? Depending on the price and staying at a budget of $70k which would you recommend? Thank you
I never buy a car not to enjoy it resale never ever crosses my mind I have a c7 z06 and track it every chance I get I enjoy my cars and I will be buying a c8 z06 and yes I will track it .
Don’t know how true it is, but there’s a lot of claim that dealers are asking like $5,000 up charge? If I didn’t already have a $1,200 mo truck payment, I would try to get a new 18 or 19 z06
50calprepper if it was limited production but since it’s just a regular entry level corvette it’s highly unlikely they’d try to mark it up
blackassassin 5 Lol .. I feel ya, but it’s hard to drive a $70,000 truck for $700 or $800 mo. If it would have put us in a paycheck to paycheck situation, would have never done it.
That’s a good price on the new vet though!
Is there financing for this type of car? If so what would be the steps to order one and have it financed?
Nice car . . But
Why did not you think?
You can manufacture it
with a weight of 1300 kg or even less weight with a four wheel drive system. . The car will be a very difficult equation
......
If they made it with less weight. . After modified will compete supercar
English
Rich exactly like what is this guy talking about? Lol
I’ve had three Corvettes in my life and I’ll buy one of these 2020 stripped basic it’ll will still be cool 😎
The real question is are y’all gonna be liquidating those leftover c7s or what 👀
Tru
Here is something that dawned on me yesterday. Being a mid engine and that engine is sandwiched into the engine bay, do you think that the maintenance and repairs on the engine will be at exotic car levels? I'm sure oil changes won't be too bad but what about water pump, serpentine belt?
Still can't believe Gm couldn't design an Intake manifold they didn't need to hide with a plastic cover.
Gotta cut costs when you're offering everything the c8 is for 60k
Hoping there’s easy access to engine via rear trunk. Looking forward to seeing factory maintenance on this.
Put down my deposit for one of the first allocations a couple days ago. Super excited
I know its really early but do have any info or opinions on what the maintenance costs or extended warranties will be? Since this in GM 's 1st Mid engine corvette i have heard labor costs will be higher due to the engine?
Sounds like base = 58-88k, Z06 = 65-100k, ZR1 = 120k-140k
Never understood the museum delivery. They want me to pay extra to move the car from the assembly line across the parking lot to pick it up? If I can pick the thing up at the factory, then why can’t I just buy the car directly from gm and cut out the middle man?
How much did museum delivery previously cost?
jim nielsen When I bought mine in 2011, I think it was $800. I never did it as I thought it was foolish then and believe it’s foolish now. There is absolutely NO reason to go through a dealer to buy a car and then pick it up at the factory/museum. This guys wants you to do that this way the dealer never inventories the car.
Most dealers are going to start with the addendum 10,000 over the sticker and then have you haggle them down!
djwlopez they can keep it then. Only a complete idiot would even speak to a dealer on a marked up vehicle. Even at 60k it’s a tough sale. Vettes just aren’t practical unless you live in a warm climate and are single.
Most dealers wont be marking up the vehicles, gm doesnt play that like ford
Quite simple! Don't buy from them!!!!! Buy from a honest dealer! Then make the dishonest dealer do the warranty work.
Agreed.....
@@jimbeam4111 You're comment is beyond stupid.
Hey Chevy Dude I have a question! This dealership I’m talking to says they can hold a car for me but I’ll have to put money down on the car for them to hold it, which makes sense, but is it worth it?? And how much is it usually.
Local Dealers Already Saying $10,000 ABOVE MSRP
Think I'm making a road trip to buy from the Chevy Dude !
How much do you think the 2LT pricing will go up because of how many more things they added to it, including NAV/PDR?
Your tire guy must love you Mike.🤣🤣
I have a question how many test drive miles can you put on a new car on your lot until it’s considered a used car?
In 50 years the coolest Corvette will be the C8 one with no options with original sticker under $59G.
I'm seriously debating investing in one. I would only drive it for about 5,000 miles a year at most.
@R May , It seems like it's probably a moot point anyways. My sales buddy just said he doesn't think it's even possible to get a first year car anymore
D Rock 75: What???? Are you saying that all the first year cars are already spoken for?? Holy cow!
TG sounds like the excuse from a guy who can’t afford one optioned up.
@@BrassStacks ; that means all the first year mechanical problems will hopefully be fixed and we will get an even better car... :)
Mike, I've been looking at my options, on GM site, picking out colors, options on a new 2020 Corvettte, trim level 3, whatever it was called. In bright orange color, with full length black stripes, and the full tan, or natural color leather interior. I know you said you didn't like that interior color, but I don't care for black interior, and I like a tan colored interior. With black upgrade wheels/rims. Carbon roof panels, and larger size carbon spoiler. It looks frickin sick dude! GM knocked it out of the park with the new mid engine Corvette. The best looking Corvette ever, by a long shot. It's sick man.
Ford just freaking out is all that price sheet shit was. C8 is a serious steal and I say they feel kinda somewhat damn stupid with the price for the new GT500 and that damn 500k GT...beautiful cars but, come on.
Joe Foster GT500 has 760Hp though and the GTs are being resold for a whooping 1.5 Million and don’t think they feel stupid at all with a cool 1 million in profit.
@@Jimmyxsx Ford isn't selling them for 1.5mil, that's after the can't sell your car contract is up, if your lucky enough they choose you for one...at the end of the day it's a ford . C8 0 to 60 less that 3sec for under 60k, come on man and it looks just as good as the GT. As for the the GT500 mark UPs, not worth the BS. Any one can get a C8. You get a C8 and you get a C8 and you get a C8....its alot more car for the price and if you dont like it after you get you can get rid of the pos. All 3 are beautiful cars, just the Vette is such a better buy and ford has been acting like their shit has stopped stinking, guess more the dealerships than Co.
@@philly7558 people are already canceling their orders on the gt500 to get the new c8.
@@lsdemon7773they all know the C8 is to good of a deal to pass up on lol. 75 to 90k you could have a monster of a car that can hang with the best of them and beat most. Chevy did a fantastic job on this car.
@@philly7558 I agree 100%
so... what's the markup going to be?
and... do you ship?
How much $ per hour I have to make in order to handle a C8?
I hope 70k a year because that's the minimum I make
@@MrEnryeg6 Thanks. I'm currently make only 45k. Probably give up for the C8
@@yaxengkha1192 Bro don't ever give up on something you want regardless how much money you make. Let it motivate you to work harder.
$45k is too little pay, especially if you have non-mortgage debt. I heard somewhere, that you want the total value of all your cars and boats to be no more than half your income.
@@EMichaelBall Thanks for the information bro. I probably wait to buy the used c8 in the next few years.
I own a G8 Gxp and has a manual transmission. Yes automatic is faster but I love the feeling of shifting gears. Something the autos don't have the same feeling.
Z51 Package, I will live out a hotel for a month.
Good luck! If you could afford the hotel room.
No no no. You sleep in the vette
@@andrewvillaneda6062 Maybe there will be a corvette sleeping bag as an option.
Now price is a issue? Where else will you get this mid engine performance for less than 150k-200k?
sleep on top of the engine with the rear hatch open haha.
cant imagine the lift suspension costing too much, it probably requires magnetic ride control , so in addition to that its some sensors or a camera and a software update / addition. so if you exclude the 5k to get the mag ride control in the z51 package id throw out a guess that it'll cost an additional 700-1000 dollars?
Get rid of your wife and the Tesla, then you keep your corvette, camaro, and the C8
Hmm.. I'll need a few mins to make that decision.
I’m thinking to change my 2018 m4 with the c8. But I’ll wait till 2021 to see if the corvette is worth it
If u bought a 2018 or 2019 c7 that car is valued 15-20k less in value now that the 2020 is out
@Cole Lee Aerial and thats the reason why damn insurance rates are high asf on them vettes, or any sports car for that matter
I'm keeping my C7 manual transmission for 3 pedal engagement fun when I get a C8.
Almost seemed like you fried the trans @0:23 lol
Its a stick shift dumb ass he pushed in the clutch.... LOL
Hi Chevy Dude. In 50 years of buying new cars I have never met an honest car salesman. Refreshing to see your commitment to transparency.
By the way I see if you order the front lift on a 2LT for $1595.00 you must order the microfiber steering wheel for $595.
Now that sounds odd and kicks up the price of the lift $2200.00 Can you confirm this. Thanks
After tax etc it’ll be closer to that 111k mark though🤷🏻♀️
How u get 200 miles on Z? That still considered brand new. I don’t have the cash to buy. Just curious. I’ve seen some others for sale with around same miles
Who cares about 2019 prices. I believe it only when I see the 2020 prices.
What’s a good lease price for 2019 equinox
The 2020 Corvette makes me not want an older corvette. I ain't spending no 128,000 for that c7 🤣🤣🤣
They're $59,900. He's full of shit.
You killed this video, great stuff
I own two Corvettes. What a waste burning those tires. I would not ever treat any car like that.
Strongly considering getting rid of my low-mileage '17 2SS Camaro in order to put myself in position for a 2021 C8. It will suck to part ways with it, I've had some fun with it, but I think it'll be more than worth it in the end...
Wasn't the C7 a mid engine technically? True The engine sat behind the front axel, which by definition, made it a mid engine car
Hey Chevy Dude, been looking to buy a new car recently within the next coming month. But the MSRP is still around the 28.5 to 29.4 grand range, but the truecar and KBB lists the price around 25.7 to 26.3 grand. So, how would you approach this situation to spend the roght amount of cash for a new car that is almost a year older.
Can you do this type of video for the 2020 camaro ?
Camaro probably will be discontinued once this car Release man as rumours are saying.
Great video. The Dealership that wanted to rip off people are pretty much exposed.
3LT z51 with spoiler, mag ride, black wheels, and red engine cover. Any color, because you can’t get it in plum silk wrap!!!
How much? Because I’ll be trading a 2018 mustang gT (manual)
I can guarantee those prices listed are accurate, you're looking to spend at least 100k unless you get it bare-boned. Looks like i'll be keeping my c7.
Yes, but what will be the “Regional Markup” be on the C8?
I think you should keep your Camaro or sell both the Camaro & your Corvette. Once you get your C8 I think your interest in your current Corvette will drop. You'll be driving your C8 instead.
What is your opinion on dealers doing mark ups. That is the rumor I keep hearing. Kind of like when the Shelby f150 came out and dealers we're adding $20,000 to the price.
76 Scotty Kilmer fans disliked this video 😂
Fuck scotty. He is old grumpy POS driving old shit Toyota and he want everyone to drive shit box Toyota
Can you let us know when is the time to buy a C7 at discount prices?
C8 looks a lot like a Ferrari. I like it though.
@Chevy Dude
Lamborghini
Ferrari
Porche
Chevy is coming for you
Dont cry
#GAMECHANGER
PS @MD
My local dealer threw out the $10,000 above MSRP and Fees when I told him I was planning on going to Louisville to buy
He said, "Mike Davenport"
I said yes an honest dealer is hard to come buy lol
His whole demeanor changed
He knows u on Facebook and said MSRP, TTL, and call it a day lol
Broooo your changing the game
Thank you for being real and a huge blessing to all of us mid level income guys and making dreams accessible for us. God Bless You Chevy Dude !!!
1 more year paying child support, I live in Nashville, Tn, Im coming to see you!!!!
Me as well!!
I love this post! Same bout...but I'll wait for it to depreciate a bit 1st
If your child goes to college you have to pay child support
@@mrcwoodworks4523 No sir, not here in Tn, already checked into it.
Smh! You aint getting one. If your waiting on child support to end then your not financially ready to get one
Does GM give employee discounts for specialty vehicles such as the ZR1? I know that Ford doesn't give any discounts for any of theirs, not sure about FCA. Just curious if they're sticklers about that or not. Personally I'm not a fan of things like that but it is what it is. 58k is a really good starting price for what you're getting with that car though. Even if it is a base model.
Yeh I may keep my C7 and be a 2 vette house as well!
If I want to order the 2020 from you and have it delivered to sc how much over MSRP are you gonna charge? I've called local Chevy dealers and they haven't got a straight answer. They say 10-15 over msrp and I wont do that
So $93,000 is supposed to make me feel good? Thanks for killing the dream
just get a simple 58,990 and b happy... ...
@@chrisiden1 THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!
Or you could get a Model 3 Performance with the FSD package and pay about $60k. Hopefully it'll hold its value like Elon promises.
That's the price that he got for adding all of the most expensive options that he could (including ones that no one buys).
So what your saying is I should buy the 98 Ford explorer.
It sucks being able to get a loan and grab the car but being debt adverse af.
I'll wait a bit then get one lightly used with more options. Cannot wait
Yeah, most people genuinely can't afford to buy one of these cars, or any really expensive cars, for that matter. I can't blame you for being debt-averse.
@Trigger Troll The cheque would go bouncy bouncy and the cash not real.
Dont own a Corvette probably never will just not into it but I do enjoy your videos my current cars 2005 STI 2013 STI and 2016 WRX
I'm going to wait for C8 Z06 with the Twin-Turbo 4.2L V8 Blackwing LTA . I'm betting it puts out over 700hp. I heard 745hp. But I think that GM missed a good/cool thing if they don't put out and 800hp model because It being the all-new rear engine C8, They should have made a C8 800hp. Maybe the new C8 ZR1 will put out 800 ponies. lol.
