Default dealer mark-up

ive been checking out some used c6s at various lots for around 40k-47k. just playing around on the gm site to order a c6 optioned the way i want it would come out around 52k
if i were to order a c6 optioned and in the color i want what kind of dealer markup could i expect?
fwiw i would be using my own financing
thanks

No mark up at all.You should be able to get a new C6 for a couple thousand off sticker.

If the dealer does not give you a nice discount off sticker then simply go to another dealer.

I got my C6 for $1000 over invoice. There was one dealer who said they'd order any car for me (except the C6 Z06, of course) for $1000.00 over invoice. Talk to the Internet sales managers or fleet sales. Don't talk to the guys strutting around the showroom floor if you want the best deals. That has been my experience through the last 4 new vehicles I've purchased. I don't even talk sticker. I go to www.nadaguides.com and print the invoice of the car I'm after and take it with me. We start negotiating from the invoice price, never the sticker price. And if you walk in there with pre-approved financing from a credit union or bank, that's like walking in with cash. It puts you in a much more powerful negotiating position.

Go over to the Corvette Forum Site and contact some of their sponsoring dealers. Most are giving decent discounts.

I agree!

invoice or under...dont pay anything close to MSRP! There are 357 C6 Z06s sitting in the snow...3622 C6 coupes and 1963 converts...dealers should be giving them away soom. 3% of invoice is too much profit.

I agree. Now is the time to buy if you are looking for big discounts. The dealer still makes money from the holdback GM gives them.

Don't know where you are but call Lewis (owner) at 800 775 4288. I just ordered an 07 C6. Got a very nice deal from him. His dealership is in Canton, TX. It's suppose to be here around February 15th.
