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.

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.

GM has just launched their semi-annual Car Care promotion they affectionately call Goodwrench & Go. It is a great program, incentivized by GM, to encourage customers to come into dealerships to get oil changes and discounted services for $39.95 or less.

This time around, customers receiving the direct mail piece from GM are offered a $15 discount card that they can use at any GM dealership on a service of $100 or more. In addition, each customer who receives the mail piece will also get a voucher for $750 off on a new 2009 Chevy Vehicle (excluding ZR-1) or $500 off a new 2010 Chevy that can stack with all of our other rebates and incentives except the stand alone APR offers. It's a nice little program and offer for the millions of people that receive the mailing (which should be hitting your mailboxes this week).  You can also transfer the offer to another family member or anyone in the household.

We are offering the program for all of our GM customers, but remember that the published pricing of $39.95 or less does not include Corvettes.  Our Synthetic oil change package is priced at $54.95.

The promotion runs from September 4th until November 2nd at participating dealers.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Many of you have probably seen the national advertising GM is doing for their Spring Car Care promotion called GM Goodwrench & Go.  It is a great program, incentivized by GM, to encourage customers to come into dealerships to get oil changes and discounted services for $39.95 or less.

Customers receiving the direct mail piece from GM will be offered a $15 discount card that they can use at any GM dealership.  In addition, each customer who receives the mail piece will also get a voucher for $500 off on a new Chevy Vehicle (excluding ZR-1) that can stack with all 'coof our other rebates and incentives.  It's a nice little program and offer for the millions of people that receive the mailing (which should be hitting your mailboxes this week).

We are offering the program for all of our GM customers, but remember that the published pricing of $39.95 or less does not include Corvettes.  Because Corvettes use synthetic oil the pricing will be higher at dealerships.  Keep that in mind when you think you're going in to get the oil changed on your Vette.

The promotion runs from April 1st until June 30th, 2009 at participating dealers.

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.

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.

Since the first details were released on the 2009 Corvette ZR1, there have always been rumors that anyone purchasing a ZR1 would get a free session at a High Performance Driving School.  We now have confirmation that every ZR1 purchase includes a free two-day driving school offer.

The offer will be valid for the original purchaser and be valid for 12 months from the delivery date.  The two schools that are part of the program are Bob Bondurant in Phoenix, AZ and Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Las Vegas, NV.  You can choose which you want to attend.

The purchaser will receive information at delivery including the name and phone numbers of each school's concierge to set up their dates.  Of course getting there and staying there is all up to you, but heck, a free two day high performance driving school is nothing to shake a stick at!

So let's say you aren't interested in the school but still purchase a ZR1, there will be no refunds or financial implications.  This is an offer everyone should take advantage of.

Chevy decided today that they are extending the $1,000 Bonus Cash on all 2007 and 2008 Corvettes until Tuesday, May 6th.

That's right, you have an extra 5 days to take advantage of the $1,000 savings which we expect to go away for the remainder of the summer on 2008 Corvettes given the interest is peaking as the cold temperates subside.

If you're interested, we have quite a few Corvettes in-stock ready for immediate delivery.  Call us today at (888) 875-0728 or leave a comment (which we will keep private), we'd love to pass on the savings to you.

The special $1000 Corvette "Time to Buy" Bonus Cash Program is scheduled to expire at close of business next Monday, October 1.  If you are seriously considering snatching a 2007 before the best incentives on the C6 Corvette ever offered are gone, please read on.

For example, our parent dealership lists just seven 2007 Corvettes on the website page, and is willing to provide both the $1000 Bonus Cash and GM Supplier Pricing on each remaining unit.  Total savings can amount to as much as $7000 or more.

Remaining vehicles are a Black Z06; Convertibles in Atomic Orange Metallic, Black, and Arctic White; and Coupes in Silverstone Metallic, Black, and Atomic Orange Metallic.  Since time is of the essence, if one of these vehicles interests you, please contact us immediately at 888.875.0728.

C6 Corvette deals are hotter than ever!  Just last week, the Corvette Blog announced an amazing first time ever program that put $1500 Bonus Cash on select Corvette C6 models.

Effective today -- but only through next Monday -- the factory has added $500 Presidents Day Bonus Cash, so these select C6 models get a total of $2000 off.

If you qualify for the GM Employee Price, you can get as much as over $11,500 on select Corvettes at select Corvette dealers.  But don't wait.  He who hesitates is lost.
