That's a basic 1LT 2014 Corvette. The price for those is a fairly reasonable $53,800. This dealer want twenty one thousand over MSRP for the luxury of owning one. I mean I know it's sexy, especially in Laguna Blue Tintcoat, but that's a bit excessive don't you think?
But then again...look at what you get:
NO! No...It's still wrong!

Ridiculous. GM will make plenty for anyone who wants one. There is only a premium to be the first. Stupid.

I plan on buying a 2015 or used 2014 model this time next year.
It's time for a new car, and this is the first Corvette I've outwardly lusted over

They won't sell for MSRP. When I bought my Fiesta ST, they brought me a printout of what the dealer cost was for each of the items (base car, upgrade package, etc) and then next to those was a column of what they were actually charging. The markup was pretty reasonable.
I can only hope that I had a good dealership experience and that this will be applied to all dealerships ever.

A few dealers will try this and a few idiots will pay it. The volume corvette dealers work on allocations. You can't get allocations if you don't sell the cars. As a result, those dealers tend to sell new models at MSRP for as long as they can, then start marking them down to get them out the door. A dealer like Les Stanford, Kerbeck etc. likely won't have markups because of that.

Well, there are salesmen like this guy (the dealer he works for is one of the largest 'Vette dealers in the nation, I believe) selling them for MSRP .

People shouldn't buy one from dealerships that do this... After their Corvette inventory has been sitting gathering dust on their lot for a couple months, they'll be selling them for MSRP... maybe even offering deals.

Once upon a time, my semi-local Ford dealer had a GT. A very rare car, admittedly, and especially so in my area. I forget what the actual MSRP on those was (somewhere around 150k I think?) but I do remember them asking over $300,000 for it. It sat there for many months.

yeah that's 200% the price of the car.
It might be worth that much now, but while the GT was rare...it wasn't specifically hard to find., I can't believe the dealer had the nerve

Most of my local Chevy dealers don't even list Corvette..
However, I did find an interesting alternative.

If the price difference is more than a plane ticket and a few days off work, whatever work it is that you can take off to pick up a new Stingray.. well, that's what you do. And make that gouger cover warranty, after you've bolted in a dashcam, enginecam and a dragoncam.

Yeah,totally the wrong platform mentioned more for the novelty of test drive.
It would take a lot of internal upgrades to get to the proper status I would want. FWD doesn't help, but a CTS chassis would.
Sorry, didn't mean to go OT on this. Just, to me, that theoretical garage and millions-keeping self I like to plan fo r, what I would do while awaiting decent retail on the Vette.
