A new month is upon us and it is time for a quick update of GM's current Corvette purchase incentives.  If you have any questions about how the incentives work or stack together, please don't hesitate to call or comment and we'll be glad to help clarify.

2010 Corvettes

• No general rebates or special financing offers available.  Depending on where you live, you may qualify for $500 Auto Show Bonus Cash (if there's an Auto Show in your area).  You may also qualify for GM Supplier pricing if you qualify for the Military Discount or belong to a Credit Union.

2009 Corvettes

• Option 1:  $4,000 Customer Rebate is available, in addition to any Auto Show Bonus Cash or other discounts you may receive (as indicated above).
   
• Option 2:  0% Financing for up to 72 months for qualified buyers through GMAC.  You cannot take both the rebate and the financing offer, it is an either/or option.

We still have available 2009 models, that we will sell to you at the GM Employee price PLUS any rebates or financing offers you may qualify for.  Call us to learn more at (888) 875-0728.

Plain and simple:  last year’s Corvette sales were the worst since 1961.

Yes, this extensive drop may very well be attributed to the current state of the economy (and automotive industry) at large. But, is this decline completely reminiscent of the economy?

After much research, Edmunds’ AutoObserver.com thinks it’s a combination of two things: down economy AND loss of consumer interest in sports cars.

In 2008, the Corvette was one of the best selling sports cars around, consuming more than 6% of the sports car market share.

Just last year, the Corvette declined 43.8% in sales! Yes, the economy didn’t help, but should we also place blame on the close competitor – Chevy Camaro? Not according to Edmunds.com Senior Analyst Jessica Caldwell, who states, “Over 60,000 Camaros were sold last year, and many of the buyers are unlikely to have chosen another sports car in its place had it not been on the market.”

So, maybe this legendary American sports cars’ sales decline can be attributed to a loss in consumer “flair” after all?  What do you think?

Tom Read from GM's Advanced Powertrain Technology Communications recently stated, "We are considering the program".

What’s this program that he speaks of? Well, it will allow Corvette ZR1 buyers to build their very own LS9 V8 638 horsepower engine!

So now, in addition to employing 38 skilled builders at the Wixom, Mich. Performance Build Center to personally oversee and construct 45 LS9 engines each week, GM may present this same opportunity to customers who purchase their own ZR1. I’m afraid watching your Corvette come off the production line has now been replaced with building your own engine.

Pretty cool, if you ask us.

What do you think of this opportunity if GM comes through with approving it? Would you want to take part? The first hurdle you’d have to face, of course, would be the purchase of your $100,000 baby.

Check out the video after the jump.

From now until February 2, 2010, GM Cardmembers who receive a special direct mail piece will be eligible to earn special bonus offerings toward the purchase or lease of ONE new GM vehicle.

• Individuals that carry the GM Extended Family Card (as of October 31, 2009) will be given $750 in bonus earnings. These earnings can be combined with other GM incentives, such as the GM employee, supplier or dealership discount.

• GM Cardmember customers may be eligible to receive bonus earnings with GM’s January Topped-Off Earnings Retail Program. As of November, customers with base earnings between $10 - $1,500 will be topped off to $2,000, and those with earnings between $1,501 - $2,500 will be topped off to $3,000. Though one’s base earnings may fluctuate due to exchanges, purchases or merchandise returns, the bonus earnings will remain constant. This offer cannot be used with other GM incentives.

Both offers are nontransferable and may be utilized toward the purchase or lease of a new and unused 2009 or 2010 Corvette (not ZR1).

NOTE: Bonus offerings for BOTH promotions will not be valid unless the direct mail piece with the unique "Bonus Earnings Code" is redeemed upon purchase/lease.

Just Announced are Chevy's offers for January, in the marketing play they are calling "Owner Loyalty."  The program is primarily driven by previous GM owners getting special discounts on new vehicles.  We've outlined the changes to the Corvette incentives programs below:

2010 Corvettes (not ZR1):

• $1,000 Rebate for current owners of a 1999 or newer GM vehicle (including all the previous GM brands that have since stopped production).  You are not required to trade in the vehicle, and the eligibility can be transferred within the household.

2009 Corvettes (not ZR1):

• $4,000 Rebate if you plan to pay cash or provide your own financing.  This rebate is stackable with the rebate below for current GM owners.
   
• $1,000 Rebate for current owners of a 1999 or newer GM vehicle (including all the previous GM brands that have since stopped production).  You are not required to trade in the vehicle, and the eligibility can be transferred within the household.
   
• 0% Financing for up to 72 months for qualified customers.  The owner loyalty $1,000 rebate does not qualify if you take the 0% financing offer.

2009 / 2010 Corvette ZR1

• No rebates or incentivized financing is available.

As always, we are here to provide you with up-front, no hassle pricing on any Corvette available nationwide, or a special order vehicle you'd like to have configured exactly the way you'd like.  Please call us at (888) 875-0728 or leave us a comment, which will be kept private, and we'll be glad to give you a no-obligation quote on a discounted Corvette for you.

U.S. News & World Report recently released their 2010 Best Cars for the Money listing. Without surprise, the Chevrolet Corvette made the list as Best Luxury Sports Car!

The vehicles that were chosen to receive one of the 23 Best for the Money awards can be seen after the jump.  You'll notice the majority of the vehicles on the list are imports, only 3 cars coming out of the big three and only 1 from GM - the Vette.

The various award categories help classify each type of car. U.S. News’ automotive rankings, customer satisfaction and good long-term value are all main criteria for being nominated for this award.

Chevrolet Corvette – Best Luxury Car … Sounds good together and completely expected.

As always, we at CorvetteBlog have the latest constraint information straight from General Motors.  There are no Corvettes allocated for production this week besides some select ZR1 models.

That said, there are two constraints listed, both with greater than 4 weeks until the constraint will be lifted due to them being a new option introduction.  That option is option code 315, Cashmere Custom Leather Wrap with a 3LZ package or 4LT package.

We'll let you know when the next available orders are allocated for production.  In the meantime, if you'd like custom built pricing for you, in any of the 50 states, please email us by leaving a comment below (which will be kept private) or call us at (888) 875-0728.

Without a doubt, the Grand Sport is the preferred model for those purchasing a new Corvette for the 2010 model year!  So, what is it about the Grand Sport that draws the customers?

I think the answers to this question are easy.  They are Looks and Choices.

I say Looks, because for the first time, the Corvette buyer can get that beautiful wide body look, previously available only to the buyer of the Z06 or the ZR1.  You have just got to love those gills!

And, I say Choices because you can have these desirable looks in a Convertible, as well as in a Coupe!  In addition, you can have the 6-Speed Paddle-Shift Automatic Transmission or the 6-Speed Manual.  Yes, you have new choices in this year's Corvette line!

Scott Burgess of the Detroit News was one of many auto writers to pick up on these qualities, and write about them.  Scott is spot on, as usual.

As always, we at CorvetteBlog have the latest constraint information straight from General Motors.  There are no allocated Corvettes for dealers this week - so no orders will be placed.

General Motors is finally stepping up to the plate with an innovative program to get conquest customers into the showroom.  If you haven't yet heard, they are offering a 60 Day Satisfaction Guarantee through November 30th, 2009.

What this means is that if you take delivery of a new Chevy (say a Corvette for example), you keep it for 30 days and if you don't like it, you have between 31 and 60 days to return it to the dealership you purchased it from.  Chevy (and us) are confident you're going to love the new GM car you choose, and we're standing behind them.

The are a few stipulations to the program, including any negative equity, accessories, service contracts or any other additions that might be to the vehicle's purchase price must be paid for by the customer when they return the vehicle.  In other words, GM isn't picking up your negative equity or your accessories.  Other than that, for the most part, you are free and clear to turn it in.  If you have a payment during the time you have the vehicle (which you will), you need to pay that.  You can't be late in your contract.

If you're interested in more information, you can always call or email us at CorvetteBlog.  If you want to see GM's commercial about the promotion, view it after the jump.

May the Best Car Win.

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.

Slowly but surely details about the pricing of the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe & Convertible are coming out.  Today we learned starting prices on both the Coupe and Convertible, after last week we learned of the starting prices of the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport.

• The 2010 Corvette Coupe will begin at $49,880 (including DFC)
  
• The 2010 Corvette Convertible will begin at $54,530 (including DFC)

We've been getting a lot of great comments and phone calls about the detailed pricing breakdown of all of the options and trim levels.  We've yet to get that detailed information from Chevy, but rest assured the minute it is released we'll have a post for you and begin custom quoting your 2010 Corvettes for you personally.

Get ready... the 2010's are almost here!

Hot off the presses!  GM has now announced another rebate that will run through the end of the month for current GM owners!  If you own or lease any GM product (1999 or newer), you will receive $1,000 Bonus Cash!

This rebate is stackable with all available Bonus Cash and the Spring Car Care rebates (that we mentioned yesterday).  However, it will NOT stack with the APR offer (on the 2008 Corvettes for example).

If you're looking for a new or pre-owned Corvette, give us a call at (888) 875-0728 and we'll be glad to help you.  We are so thankful this Memorial Day weekend for all of our readers and satisfied customers around the United States!

Happy Memorial Day!

Posted By Ryan In Buying a Corvette , Corvette Dealers , Corvette News , Corvette Purchase Incentives | 0 Comments Permalink

Well, wouldn't you know that GM has announced their annual "Memorial Day Sale" just 2 days before the actual Memorial Day weekend begins.  The sale this year really doesn't seem to have the 'bang for the buck' as sales in years past.  Perhaps that's because GM is offering 0% financing on many models right now, or perhaps that's because they know a bankrupcy is on the horizon and this is a last ditched effort for quick sales before they announce it.  Either way, the sale this year only improves the deals on 3 models:  the Cobalt, the Impala and the Silverado.  Corvette is left out in the dark.

So let's not waste time talking about the other models when we really only care about Corvettes here on CorvetteBlog.  We thought we take a quick minute to again summarize the current offers that are available:

On 2009 Corvettes:

• Some of you may be eligible for $500 off with the GM Spring Car Care discount.  There was a mailer that you may have gotten that had the discount as part of it.  If you don't know if you qualify or not, your local dealer can look up your name and address and see if you qualify for the $500 off.  Expires 6/30/09.
   
• Some dealers may be using Corvette Bonus Certificates.  This is a program that gives dealers the ability to stack up to 6 $500 certificates on a Corvette sale.  The number of certificates a dealer has is based on a number of factors including current inventory and total Corvette availability.  Expires on 6/1/09.

On remaining 2008 Corvettes:

• $2000 Bonus Cash is available if you don't take any incentivized financing options.  Expires on 6/1/09.
   
• 0% Financing is available with approved credit for up to 60 months, or 2.9% Financing is available for up to 72 months.  Expires on 6/1/09.
   
• Again, if you qualified for the Spring Car Care discount (mentioned above), you can stack that with a 2008 Corvette purchase.  Expires 6/30/09.

We have a nice selection of 2009 Corvettes still available for purchase, all priced at below MSRP and GM Supplier Discounts!  For more details on our inventory, you can click the link at the top of CorvetteBlog, or call us direct at (888) 875-0728.  We ship nationally and will pass on all of the savings from Detroit right to you!

As always, we at CorvetteBlog have the latest constraint information straight from General Motors.  Again this week's update is pretty simple because there are no constraints.  That said, there is no Corvette allocation for dealers this week, so no orders will be placed.  Look for an update next week here on CorvetteBlog on the upcoming allocation.

Looking to purchase a new Corvette? Well even if you’re not, the government REALLY wants you to! Even though the automotive industry is in the midst of extremely difficult times, there is still good news from the government for interested car buyers.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently announced that individuals who purchase new cars will be able to deduct state and local sales and excise taxes from their 2009 tax returns. Still interested? To qualify, the new vehicle must be purchased between the window frame of February 16, 2009 to January 1, 2010.

The IRS is hoping that this tax deduction incentive will aid the automotive industry during their recent down times, while still helping to offset consumer expenses. IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman quotes, “For those thinking about buying a new car this year, this deduction may give them a little more drive to make their purchase this year. This deduction enables taxpayers to buy now and get cash back later on their tax returns.”

Do you think the IRS is making the right move by instituting this deduction? Maybe this will do some good. But, is there really any hope for the automotive industry afterall?

To check if you qualify for this deduction, click the link below.

GM announed that they were planning to reduce production to align with market demand, meaning that many assembly plants will be ideled in the coming weeks so that inventory can catch up with demand.  We've just learned that the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, home to the Corvette, will be one of the most severly impacted plants that GM has.

The plant will be down 9 weeks.  The downtime weeks are as follows:  5/4, 5/11, 6/1, 6/8, 6/29, 7/6, 7/13, 8/3, 8/10.  These new operating plans have also revised the buildout and startup schedules for the 2009 and 2010 Corvettes.

The new revised buildout for the last 2009 Corvettes will be July 28th, 2009.  The new revised startup for the 2010 Corvettes will be July 29th, 2009.

Keep checking CorvetteBlog.com for any updates related to the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

Great News Just Announced!  GM has expanded the current Lease Pull Ahead Program from 2 months to 4 months.  That means if you are in a GMAC SmartLease or SmartBuy contract, we will pay up to 5 of your remaining payments if your lease expires no later than 10/31/2009.

Previous to today's announcement, GM was only covering 2 payments, so this is a nice incentive for those of you who have been holding out to have more of your payments waived, or to get out of your lease before you go over mileage.

Also, remember if you're in a lease and purchase a new Corvette, you'll receive $500 in addition to any other incentivized financing or special discounts being offered with GM's Lease to Purchase cash.  **Note, you do not need to purchase to get this discount; you can lease again through a bank such as US Bank.**

If you have any questions about your options, what you might qualify for, or want to price out some payments on a new 2008 or 2009 Corvette, call us today at 888-875-0728 and we'll be glad to help!

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.

What can we really say about March sales?  There is good news amongst the doom and gloom.  With the weather getting nicer in many parts of the country and with incentives (including 0% on 2008 models) helping to move inventory, we can only hope that we have turned the corner and are going to see some additional growth in sales over the coming months.

March saw a 56% decline in sales versus 2008's figures, although there were more Vettes delivered in March than in any month since September of last year.  That's a bonus.  In total, however, 2009 sales since January 1st are still showing a 55% decline against 2008. 

Here's the breakdown:

Posted By Ryan In Buying a Corvette , Corvette Dealers , Corvette News | 0 Comments Permalink

With a new month brings new incentives and rebates from GM.  Here is the latest breakdown on the discounts you can receive on new Corvettes, with approved credit:

2008 Corvettes:  CorvetteBlog is offering GM Employee Pricing to everyone on our 2 remaining 2008 Corvettes while GM is offering a couple of different options as well:

• Option 1:  Take 0% financing for up to 60 months or 2.9% financing for up to 72 months
• Option 2:  Take $4,000 off in rebate money
• Option 3:  Take $2,000 off in rebate money and get 5.9% for up to 60 months

2009 Corvettes:  CorvetteBlog is offering GM Supplier Pricing or less to everyone on all of our 2009 Corvettes while GM is offering these options as well:

• Option 1:  Take $1,000 in rebate money
• Option 2:  Take 4.9% financing for up to 60 months
• Option 3:  Take $500 in rebate money if you have a lease vehicle (any make or model) in your household expiring before 10/31/2009.  This option can be combined with either option 1 or 2.

• 2009 Corvette Z06:  There are the same 4 constraints to report.  First 425 Linen Custom Leather Interior is discontinued, so that constraint will exist until build-out as well.  Second, CSC the Competition Sport Package will be constrained until build starts less than 4 weeks from now.  Third, 74U Victory Red is now built out, so no additional Corvette orders will be taken with that exterior color.  Finally, the GT1 Championship Edition is now showing greater than 4 weeks until we can order it.

Corvettes have frequently been given as Christmas gifts.  So what if they don't fit under the tree!  The easy resolution is to place a scale model under the tree, while the new drivable beauty sits in the garage under a giant bow.

As a result, the parent Chevrolet dealership of CorvetteBlog has a nice selection of Christmas gifts this year.  We have a handful of 2008 models, and a larger selection of 2009 models.  The large gold bow is available at no extra cost, upon request.

If you are interested, please give this blogger a call at 1-888-875-0728 or comment on this blog with your contact information.  It will be kept private.

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.

As we all know, car manufacturers are feeling the blunt of the market now with car sales at an all time low. In an effort to appeal more to consumers, General Motors has issued an increased warranty coverage on Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

This new warranty will come standard on all GM Certified Used Vehicles or Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles as of September 13th. When a consumer now purchases a certified pre-owned vehicle, the new program offers a 12-month or 12,000 miles bumper-to-bumper warranty.  This includes all Certified Corvettes.

Now, maybe you’re thinking, what’s bumper-to-bumper mean? Well, the warranty will cover the entire vehicle excluding items that wear down over time and usage, such as tires and brakes. Pretty good deal, if you ask us.

GM also offers a powertrain limited warranty of 5-years or 100,000 miles on all 2007 or later vehicles. This package is exclusive and also provides consumers with 24-hour roadside assistance, free history report on a vehicle, 117-point inspection, and a customer satisfaction guaranteed period.

For further information, click below to learn more about GM Certified Used Vehicles.

You can also check out our current inventory of GM Certified Pre-Owned Corvettes by clicking here.

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.

After Kroyman Corporation, a Dutch importer, recently announced the European sticker price of the new ZR1, you should be lucky you live west of the Atlantic! Here in the United States, a ZR1 goes for $105,000, which includes shipping, luxury tax, and driver’s training courses.

Now, relatively speaking, one U.S. dollar currently equals roughly 0.64 euros. So, you would think that those lucky Europeans would able to snatch this gem of a car for close to $67,200.

However, Kroyman Corporation, which handles all Corvette sales in Europe, recently revealed an incredible 136,000 euros as the price of the new Corvette! Now, when one calculates the 136,000 euros into dollars, it leaves you with a $214,000 vehicle!!

So there you have it. Europe is already infamous for their insanely high gas prices and tax rates. And now if you want to purchase a ZR1, be extra happy you live in the United States!

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.

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.

Have You Taken Advantage Yet?  We at CorvetteBlog.com and George Matick Chevrolet are offering GM Employee Pricing to EVERYONE on all 2008 Corvettes in our inventory!  This is in addition to the 0% financing already being offered!

That's right, we are going beyond our GM Supplier Pricing for everyone offer and extending the GM Employee Discount to all of our readers!

Both the GM Employee Discount and 0% offers end Tuesday, August 19th!

We have 13 Corvettes (Coupes, Convertibles and 2 Z06's) remaining in inventory that we must move immediately. 

Sure, we've heard some of you from outside Michigan delay because you'd need to come here or allow us to ship the vehicle to you - but even with shipping costs you stand to save a TON of money with these two offers combined.  You don't need to take delivery by Tuesday but must have paperwork signed.  Get your new Corvette from Detroit's New Corvette Leader.

To check out our entire inventory, click here or call us right now at (888) 875-0728.  This offer is only valid until August 19th, so don't delay!

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.

According to noted Corvette trader Terry Michaelis, because of the value of the U.S dollar and current exchange rates, now is an excellent time for Corvette buyers from outside the United States to purchase American Corvettes.

CorvetteBlog is ahead of the curve on this one: two as yet unannounced options are coming for new 2008 Corvettes!

The first is coded VPK and described as the Limited Personalization Exterior Package.  The package includes: screen mesh package, body color rear license plate frame, underhood blanket and lamp kit, exterior graphics, vehicle cover, racing C6 or Z06 design spoiler, and chrome or body color door handles.

The second package is coded VPL, is described as the Limited Personalization Ultimate Package, and includes everything in VPK plus either seven spoke chrome or fifteen spoke polished wheels.

Still unknown is the pricing, the time of availability, and what some of these items actually look like.  The good news is that the packages are described on Chevrolet dealer accessible websites, so answers should be coming soon.

Please stand by.  CorvetteBlog will break further news as it comes.

I just received a call from a CorvetteBlog reader who inquired as to where to rent a Corvette.  It occurred to me that since I get this question about once a year, and since I know the answer, I should probably write my answer for others who didn't think to ask it (yet anyway).

Reasons to rent a Corvette are many:

a special car for a special birthday or anniversary

a special car to drive in the Woodward Dream Cruise or to another Corvette venue like America's Corvette Show, Corvettes at Carlisle, Corvette Funfest, or Bloomington Gold

a vehicle to rent for an extended 'test drive' to check out Corvette equipment, and think through which options would work best on the car one intends to buy

For those who wish to rent a Corvette (or some of its competition), there is actually a website that lists companies that provide this service nationally: ExoticCarRentalDirectory.com.

In Michigan, there is only one company that provides this service: Classic Auto Rentals in Birmingham.  By the way, they also have pre-owned Corvettes for sale.  Their phone is 248.258.6560.

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.

This CorvetteBlog is a special treat, for it is written by another of the Completely Satisfied Corvette customers to buy through our parent company, George Matick Chevrolet, and also participate in the National Corvette Museum Delivery program.

The words of Bob and Kitty Parrin of Indiana when they took delivery of their new Crystal Red Metallic 2008 Corvette Convertible in October:

Back to the future.  That pretty much describes our trip to Bowling Green for the delivery of our 2008 C6 Convertible.

Yes, it felt like the 1960’s all the way around, but in 21st century style.  Back to a time when cars were fun and exciting.  Think Mini Coopers and mid-year Corvettes.  Cars of my dreams.  Fortunately automakers have given us modern versions of these classics.

We will soon be in the midst of the winter automobile auction season, and Corvettes available for purchase will be in abundance.  Writing in a recent newsletter from ProTeam Corvettes, Terry Michaelis makes these recommendations if you are considering purchase of a Corvette at any of the upcoming auctions:

(1)  Prior to purchasing any Corvette, create a pre-purchase inspection list, and make sure to include VIN tags and attachments; a title matching the VIN tag; an original body/trim tag; the Corvette's body and frame; engine stamp, casting numbers and dates; and documentation.  This small step goes a long way to making your Corvette buying experience seamless.

(2)  Buy the best Corvette you can afford today, because the Corvette you buy is the Corvette you'll have, or want to sell some day.

(3)  Buy cosmetics - buy paint and chrome, unless you have a shop and knowledge to control your costs.

Our Indianapolis 500 Corvette Pace Car Replica didn't last long in the showroom.  Lou Vinson, who also owns a 1966 Corvette Sting Ray that he purchased new, drove the Atomic Orange Convertible home on Friday.

By the way, you'll be reading about Lou in another blog soon because we want to showcase all of the cars he maintains at the Fiberglass Estates Community Hall in Detroit.  We welcome Lou and friend Kim to the family of happy friends of CorvetteBlog!

Keith Martin's Corvette Market Magazine has been officially launched.  Mike Yager is one of the "movers and shakers" interviewed in the inaugural (Fall 2007) issue, and he made sure the magazine was given significant visibility at last weekend's Corvette Funfest on the premises of Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, Illinois.

Mike introduced Keith next to his beautiful Chevrolet bowtie-shaped swimming pool (see photo past the jump), and then the whole Yager family joined Keith in a ribbon cutting ceremony as Corvette industry leaders gave applause.

Keith seeks to fill a vacuum in the sales and purchase process of Corvettes by providing current market trends, auction results, advice on which models to buy-sell-hold, and advice from movers and shakers in the industry.  Given the explosive growth in pre-owned Corvette sales and the success of the parent magazine, Sports Car Market, a magazine devoted to Corvettes was deemed merited.  A link to this resource will be added to the home page of CorvetteBlog.

In breaking news from General Motors this afternoon, the "General" has announced that lessees of Corvettes who make the purchase using a GM Employee Discount are free to use any bank to finance their lease.

To this point, those advantaged with the Employee Discount on purchase of Corvette were required to run their lease through GMAC.

In a report just released, ranking the most requested vehicles for leasing during the first half of 2007, Corvette is at the very top of the list.

LeaseCompare.com, a service of Automobile Consumer Services, reports that Corvette is most requested, and it doesn't matter if new or used! 

In the top 40 new car rankings, the only other American vehicles were Ford Mustang (16th), Chevrolet Tahoe (17th), Jeep Wrangler (23rd), and Cadillac Escalade (31st).

Although Jay Leno doesn't mention Corvettes in his article "Hidden Treasures" in Popular Mechanics, the advice would likely work for classic Corvettes, too.  1951 Hudson Hornet collector Jay's advice:

"The best advice I can give is to find the oldest garage or gas station in your town.  Go talk to the owner.  Ask him if he has customers who haven't been in for a long time.  Do they have an interesting car?

"If you like old things, I recommend that you talk to old guys.  Seek them out.  They were all young guys once.  And a lot of them don't have any family left; they just want to see the love of their life, the car they were always going to restore — but never got around to — go to a good home."

The whole article can be found in the July 2007 print issue of Popular Mechanics, or on the web.

A rare 1953 Corvette will be sold tomorrow at an auction in Lapeer, Michigan.  The "no reserve" auction is being handled by RM Auctions on the grounds of the home of John McMullen, longtime successful Pontiac dealer.

McMullen is drastically trimming his world class collection of some 140 cars to less than a dozen of the world's best automobiles.  The Corvette joins two early Thunderbirds, a 1931 Duesenberg Model J, a 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria (shown), and many others.

The 9AM auction is open to the public in exchange for the purchase price of the $80 catalogue (which admits two).

Experts on pre-owned Corvette ownership recommend that pre-owned Corvettes be selected for purchase with a strong bias toward the "cosmetics" unless the purchaser can do hands-on cosmetic repair himself or herself.

In an article entitled "Corvette Buying 101" seven critical recommendations for buying a pre-owned Corvette are given.  Consider them carefully:

According to a memo recently received by new Chevrolet Corvette dealers, Monterey Red Metallic Tintcoat (80U) is being discontinued.

The final date for order submission in this color is April 7, 2007.  If that's the color you want, you do not have much time to order.

The memo indicates that a replacement color will be made available at the beginning of 2008 Model Year production.

And while we remain in awe of the beautiful Corvette inspirations from n2a Motors (the 789) and Advanced Automotive Technologies (the 50th Commemorative Edition) about which we’ve written this week, check into this marvelous option.

The 2007 Callaway C16 not only offers a gorgeous alternative body for the Corvette lover, it provides amazing performance right now. Right now, as in not needing to wait for the factory’s promised Corvette SS a couple of summers from now.

Callaway’s association with Corvette goes back some thirty years, and these folks are expert in every area of endeavor.

Check our Blog another time (or subscribe to Corvette Blog today) and you will soon see photos of a selection of great Callaway Corvettes that I recently saw at the National Corvette Museum. We are talking legendary vehicles!

The Corvette Action Center is a great repository of information.  This article on purchasing a pre-owned Corvette gives a great overview of the subject.

Buying your first Corvette can be a difficult task if you're not sure what to look for. You've heard all the terms ("matching numbers", "body-off restoration", "frame-off restoration" etc), but you're not sure what they mean. Our goal here is to provide you with a little bit of knowledge before you go into the Corvette buying world and to supply you with a handy check list of items that you may want to check out the Corvette that you're interested in purchasing. Depending on options, some of the items on the list may or may not apply to the particular Vette that you're looking at. Hopefully, we've compiled a fairly broad enough array of items to look at that will cover just about all Corvette model years.
