The devastation of the Haiti earthquake has left the country in great need. In response to this need, GM auctioned off a 2008 limited edition Chevrolet Corvette Z06 at this year's Barrett-Jackson car auction.

The bidding closed at $200,000, leaving the American Red Cross with 100% of these proceeds to help with its relief efforts in Haiti.

Watch the LIVE footage as Kate Forbes from the American Red Cross addresses the Barrett-Jackson crowd before the one-of-a-kind Corvette is auctioned off to its lucky new owner after the jump.

The Corvette itself was the last of 427 Z06s ever produced within North America as well as the last 2008 Z06 available in Crystal Red Metallic. Under the hood stores a 7-liter V8 engine that can produce up to 505 horsepower.  It was also signed by Corvette plant manager Will Cooksey who retired in 2006.

To help donate to the Haiti relief aid, visit redcross.org or text HAITI to 90999.

We've been taking a lot of calls lately wondering about what discounts are currently available on Corvettes.  That said, we thought we'd take a quick minute to recap all of the current offers that you may qualify for:

2009 Corvettes

• GM's Open House promotion gives everyone the GM Supplier Discount pricing
• If you qualify for the GM Employee Discount (GMS), you are eligible for $500 off
• If you have a Nissan or Infinity in the household (2000 or newer), you are eligible for $1,500 off
• If the Corvette you're interested in is an "old invoice" unit, or one that has been in a dealer's inventory for a long time, you are entitled to $1,000 off.  There's no way for a consumer to check on those units that qualify, so if you are interested, please contact the selling dealership and inquire about the program.
• 2009 Corvette ZR1s do not qualify for any of the above programs, except the "Old invoice" program, but most likely none of those would qualify either.

2008 Corvettes

• $4,000 Customer Cash Rebate is available, or you can take 5.9% financing (with approved credit) for up to 60 months.
• 0% Financing is available up to 60 months or 3.9% financing up to 72 months (with approved credit), but you give up all of the other rebates available except the GM Open House Supplier Discount Pricing (described below)
• GM's Open House promotion gives everyone the GM Supplier Discount pricing
• If you qualify for the GM Employee Discount (GMS), you are eligible for $2,000 off
• If you have a Nissan or Infinity in the household (2000 or newer), you are eligible for $1,500 off
• Every 2008 Corvette should qualify as an "old invoice" unit, so you are entitled to $1,000 off.  There's no way for a consumer to check on those units that qualify, so if you are interested, please contact the selling dealership and inquire about the program.

Incentives and Rebates can be confusing.  If we can help at all, please don't hesitate to give one of our staff a call at (888) 875-0728.  Remember we also have a number of 2009 Corvettes & Z06's available, all priced below GM Supplier Pricing.

This morning Chevrolet announced a Customer Satisfaction Program for some 2008 and 2009 Corvette Convertibles.  This is a program similar to a recall but not as formal.  If you're having the problem, and have a vehicle that qualifies, you can have the repair done at no cost by installing a newly designed retainer bracket.  Here's the details...

Certain 2008 and 2009 model year Corvette manual or power roof Convertible vehicles may have a condition in which the fabric roof cover may begin to separate from its retainer bracket near the top edge of the windshield.  When the vehicle reaches speeds of approximately 100 mph or greater, the roof cover could begin to pull away from the retainer bracket and, depending on the speed of the vehicle and duration at that speed, could tear into the rear glass.  If this were to occur, the headliner would remain intact and the roof cover would not separate from the vheicle.

Vehicles Involved:  Only vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints are involved:

• 2008 models from VIN breaks: 85117774 through 85135284
• 2009 models from VIN breaks:  95100002 through 95112678

Dealers will confirm whether your vehicle is eligible for the repair, as not ALL vehicles will be eligible.  GM will send a letter to all customers that are included in this program and all repairs must be made before May 31st, 2010.

A copy of the letter can be found after the jump.

Now is the time to take advantage of some very special savings on our remaining 2008 models.  Here's another example of how we can save you thousands!

Our Corvettes are NEVER stored outdoors, and this one has only been driven in our showroom since received from the original ordering dealer (less than 20 miles away).  Here are the details...

The vehicle is a 2008 Corvette Coupe 1LT (Machine Silver Metallic / Ebony) with an MSRP of $53,035.  We are offering the vehicle for the discounted price before taxes of $43,000!  This price assumes you don't take advantage of 0% financing.  If you wanted to take 0% financing, your price would be $47,000 (the $4,000 rebate available doesn't qualify with 0%), which is still a hell of a deal.  Here is a list of the vehicle's options:

• CC3  Removable Transparent Roof Panel
• FE9  Federal Emissions
• F55  Magnetic Selective Ride Control
• LS3  6.2 Liter 436 HP Engine
• MX0  6 speed Automatic Transmission with paddle shift
• NPP  Dual Mode Exhaust
• QX3  Chrome Aluminum Wheels

This discounted pricing is available this month only!  This is not a demonstrator unit and it only has 21 miles on it.  We will be glad to get you a finalized price including taxes and fees depending on wherever you live and what your tax rate is, in addition to discussing shipping options or VIP delivery here in Detroit, Michigan.

For more information, give us a call at (888) 875-0728 or leave a comment, which will be kept private.  Take a look at all of the pictures of the vehicle after the jump below.

The C6 Corvette Coupe recently underwent a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test. The C6 was hit broadside on the driver side of the vehicle to test its endurance. Following the hit, results from the C6 showed that the body of the vehicle held up relatively well. Take a look for yourself at this 15 second YouTube video.

We have had quite a few questions from customers lately about the current incentives that GM is running and when they expire.  We thought we'd take a quick second to review what's available right now, and for how long.

2008 Corvettes & Z06s:  Currently there are a couple of options.  First, GM is offering 0% financing up to 48 months (for those qualifying), or 2.9% for 60 months, or 5.9% for 72 months.  If you don't want to finance with GMAC, then you have bonus cash options.

You automatically will get $1,000 off.  If you currently have a lease that expires before June 30, 2009 (does not have to be with GMAC and does not have to be turned in), you qualify for an additional $2,000, giving you $3,000 total. 

If you do have a GMAC lease that you want to Pull Ahead, GM is offering up to 4 payments waived.

2009 Corvettes & Z06s:  There are no incentivized financing rates right now, or any bonus cash offers.  The only available incentives are for those who are currently in a lease expiring before June 30th, 2009 (as mentioned above).  Instead of the $2,000 rebate on a 2008 model, the 2009 model gets $1,000 off.

All of the incentives and rebates offers end November 3rd.  We have a great selection of 2008 Corvettes remaining in inventory, both Coupes and Convertibles that we are blowing out, offering extremely discounted pricing.  Click here to see our inventory and find out more.

Should we have expected any different?  Today GM announced they will extend their GM Employee Discount for Everyone incentive program through September 30th.  The program was originally set to end yesterday but late Tuesday they told dealers they would be pushing the program into September.

With expected lackluster sales for August, GM is hoping the incentive program, and the newly announced Lease to Buy Bonus Cash will sway current lessees and conquest customers into GM purchases.

Here's the break down on how the Corvette is impacted.  The GM Employee Discount offer is still available on all 2008 Corvettes and Z06's. 2009 models do not qualify for the discount.

GM'S Lease to Buy Bonus Cash gives current GMAC lessees $2,000 on all 2008 Corvettes & Z06's and $1,000 on all 2009 Corvettes & Z06's.  If you're coming out of a lease, it really is a sweet deal.

The current incentive and Bonus Cash offers end September 30th, 2008.

We still have a number of 2008 Coupes and Convertibles remaining in our inventory.  Click here for a full inventory list.  With the savings that GM is offering with this promotion, you can see discounts of up to $12,000 or more (on a Z06 for example).  Also for our national customers outside of Detroit, let us give you a quote to ship the vehicle directly to you.  In many cases it may cost much less than you expect and you still can get a great deal.

If you're interested, give us a call at (888) 875-0728 or leave a comment (which will be kept private).  We'd love to deplete our remaining inventory and pass the savings on to you, our valued readers.

GM announced the return of their GM Employee Discount for Everyone incentive program.  The program was the most successful rebate and incentive offer in GM's history when it was run back in 2005.  With times as they are now, GM dusted off the idea and has once again brought it to market.

The Employee Discount offer is available on all 2008 Corvettes and Z06's. 2009 models do not qualify for the discount.  The program runs through September 2nd, the day after Labor Day.

Many of you have asked us if the 0% financing offer that was available the first part of this month is still going on, and unfortunately, it is not.  The supported APR programs through GMAC are 6.9% for up to 60 months and 7.9% for 72.

We still have a number of 2008 Coupes and Convertibles remaining in our inventory.  Click here for a full inventory list.  With the savings that GM is offering with this promotion, you can see discounts of up to $12,000 or more (on a Z06 for example).  Also for our national customers outside of Detroit, let us give you a quote to ship the vehicle directly to you.  In many cases it may cost much less than you expect and you still can get a great deal.

Great news!  We finally have some information on the distribution method Chevy has decided on for the recently announced 427 Limited Edition Z06.

The first 427's will be available to order tomorrow, March 6th.  Here's the kicker... Dealers with 27 or more total Corvette sales will be awarded at least one Z44.

We are one of the elite dealers that will have a 427 Z06 available tomorrow to order!  If you are interested in placing a deposit on the order we have coming available, call us immediately at (888) 875-0728 or leave a comment (kept private) and we will get you all the information you need.

There will be two DOSP cycles that will be open for ordering of the Z44 constraint:  the first being tomorrow and the second being March 20th. 

Also to note is that the Z44 constraints will not be protected and no 427 Limited Edition pattern orders will be generated to fulfill allocations. Therefore, any Z44 constraints not utilized by the originally assigned dealer will be made available to any dealer with Z06 allocation during subsequent DOSP cycles.  That's extremely unlikely to happen.

Posted By Ryan In 2008 Corvettes , Buying a Corvette , Corvette News , Corvette Pricing | 1 Comments Permalink

Effective with all 2008 Corvette Coupes and Corvette Convertibles ordered this week by dealers is a price increase of $115.  The Base Price for the Coupe changes from $45,285 to $45,400, plus the Destination Charge of $825.  The Base Price of the Vert changes from $53,625 to $53,740, plus Destination Charge.  Mercifully, the Base Price of the Z06 remains unchanged.

Now really!  Corvette sales are a little sluggish, so the best we can do is raise the price again?  Sure, that will work!!!

The one good thing is that it makes the pricing on the remaining 2007 Coupes and Convertibles with $2-3000 Bonus Cash look even better!  If you are interested in one of our four remaining 2007 Corvettes, give us a call at 1.888.875.0728.

The Corvette Factory Website has final loaded all the color information you will probably need to pick out your new Corvette on-line or order it for National Corvette Museum delivery.  A number of Corvette enthusiasts have told me that they were simply frustrated with the lack of factory info on colors, but not to worry, it's all there now!

Log on to www.chevrolet.com/corvette and then select the "Colors and 360 Degree" tab.  You will be able to rotate the car and see it in all of the Exterior colors. 

To view interiors, click on the Interior tab just above "Models" and "Colors".  Then click on the color chip of your choice, and you will see that color (or those colors) shown on an actual Corvette seat. 

Very nicely done, Chevy!  Wish we'd had it for the last four months, though.  By the way, our parent company has at least one of every exterior color currently in stock.  Send an email to bill@corvetteblog.com or call 1-888-875-0728 for additional info.  Inquiries are kept confidential.
