Nothing wrong with paying over for a rare car. GT3's......new generation G-Wagons were hard to find recently...sure.
However, a Vette? No. |

I am not a Corvette "enthusiast", never owned one. I do think they are a great car for the money but not being emotional about them I think its foolish to pay a premium for something that will be available at a discount in a year or less.
I do work for a supplier in the auto industry and Corvette is a very large part of our business. Annual sales of the car look like a classic sawtooth pattern. It takes wilder swings during each generation than any other car I can think of. They could sell 40,000 in an introduction year and by year 4 it would be under 20,000...and then start over again. I think if it the same way I do a Rolex Daytona. You can have it a year or 2 from now for 13k or today for 20k (I don't follow the Rolex market so I am likely off slightly on both numbers). So let's make the math easy, you pay 6k to get it 18 months sooner. To me, you just rented it for $333/month and then bought it for full retail. So with a car at 10k over that I would propose can be had for 5k under in 2 years it is financially is about like renting it for $625/mo and then paying full retail for a 2 year old used car. Its nothing more than paying money just to be first. If it was "worth" 10k more then GM would price it that way and put it in their pocket instead of the dealer's. Sent from my Motorola Bag Phone |

I would not. The car will be around for awhile. If you want one you wait and get it. That’s me.

Without getting into a lengthy post echoing what several others have said, I will just add NO I would not pay $10k for a Corvette.

I'm really glad I love my Jeep and never have to worry about this stuff.
Watches are bad enough, but supercars........ |

"I will NEVER pay over MSRP" = "I believe manufacturers never get MSRP wrong nor have ulterior motives to set the MSRP at a large delta from the market price"

Before this pandemic struck, I was contemplating buying a 2020 Aventador S Roadster. I picked out my preferred options in the Lamborghini Configurator (exterior color Blu Caelum, lots of black carbon fiber... would make a nice pairing with a BLNR). My question is, do I need to have a "relationship" with the dealer to even be able to buy one of these cars? Before the pandemic, would these cars go for MSRP, above, or below? I've owned a couple of Porsche 911 turbos, but I've never bought an Italian exotic. |

You should be fine with an Aventador S. If it was an SVJ it might be a little tougher.
But I think most dealerships would be very happy to sell you an S. That said, I’m not sure about your exact spec. Depends on what kind of allocations they have.

Do you want the car? Up to you to decide, how many on this forum have paid a pretty price over 10K on several models of the Rolex line in the last 3 years due to short demand?

I have never bought anything as exotic/expensive as a Lamborghini or Ferrari, but I have custom ordered several nice trucks, Jeeps, a few boats, and two Porsches. In my experience, the discount is always bigger when custom ordering. My understanding is that the dealer would rather have inventory on hand for the impulse buyers.
