LOTS of Corvette Z06s at The Largest Dealer; My Heartbreaking News

[@jameswalton8927]

18 wheeler will have to pay... i would get another one.

[@CorvetteFun]

Yup! His insurance company has already given me a check, but the car hasn't been fixed yet. They'll pay more if damage is found when it's taken apart. Waiting for the winter, when I'll be driving it less (still planning driving-in-snow videos, though). I just don't want to be without my Corvette during prime sportscar weather. I'm also going to pursue a Diminished Value claim. I'll likely do at least one video detailing what happened in the accident, the repair process, and if I was able to get additional compensation from his insurance company for Diminished Value.

[@bomachine54]

This dealership is in Nashua, New Hampshire. I bought my C8 in 2022 from this dealership. I live near Charlotte NC. I flew up, bought the car and drove it back to NC. HTC with the top down for 17 hours. It was a glorious ride.👍🏾

I don't believe they're storing them there. AFAIK, they bring all Corvettes inside when they're not open for business. The cars I recorded out back were going through PDI (pre-delivery inspection), so they were being worked on, as most of them were already sold. Even in just the few minutes I was there, you could see in the video that some cars were being moved around. They were bringing them in and out of the shop, getting them ready for customers who had ordered them.

The car manufacturers are pricing themselves out of the market with many of their car, truck, and SUV prices! The shortages during the pandemic just stimulated their greed and disdain for the average customer and they have still refused to change their pricing strategy. Prices for used Corvettes have finally started to come down. I recently bought a used C7 Z06 and even though it was still a little pricey I didn’t feel like I was totally mortgaging my future. BTW, I no longer see any need at all in buying a Z07 package instead of a “base” Z06. The reason many performance enthusiasts bought the Z07 package for the C7 generation Vette was it didn’t overheat as readily! Now you’re paying thousands more for a few options.

[@CorvetteFun]

The Z06 is a street-legal RACE CAR. The Z07 Performance Package takes it to the next level, but it's not needed for cooling! Thankfully, all C8 Corvettes were engineered to have super engine cooling capacity, so there's never a worry about any of the three models.

[@Leo-fk9ch]

Fuel prices … since 2020 fuel prices have almost doubled in many areas. Fuel drives manufacturing prices, everything depends on the price of crude. Then you have fuel and high food prices affecting auto workers, who in turn demand higher wages. Of course, food prices are driven by fuel prices. Anything related to Covid is long over. That’s no longer any type of excuse. The only thing that’ll save this economy will be a two fold dramatic action. A huge decrease in fuel prices, a huge reduction in interest rates. Just use common sense, if it costs more to produce because of fuel prices, and the cost to buy over time is higher .. what happens? Prices up, demand drops. Perfect recipe for economic disaster. Who did this? What politician? Vote wisely.

[@pharoahmonk50]

"Leap" haha! I like that! Definitely get with doctors on making sure you have not suffered any soft tissue damage. That can lead to a lifetime of neurological and pain issues. Also, do not hesitate to speak with members of the behavioral / psychological community, just to make sure you are okay (from the accident).

The unusual colors and strange options that buyers might hate today are what will make these cars worth tons of money in the future. All you need to know a thing or two about that is to look into the past. Rare color combinations, rare engine options, and strange interior color combinations have always made Corvettes more exciting and more valuable. Chevrolet really needs to open the door to buyers with more color options. Hell, when the ZR1 comes out, I think buyers should be able to pick any color they want in the history of Corvettes. There should be an option to open the door to the entire historical lot of color choices.

[@CorvetteFun]

Congratulations on your retirement! While I understand you don't miss it - I don't miss my last job either; they treated me horribly - I want to say that all the Corvette customers I know, we very much appreciate the Jack Cooper drivers for safely bringing our Corvettes to us!

[@frankkeel8410]

Reminds me of Malcom Konner in 1993 a sea of vettes ,but $40,000 plus.

[@CorvetteFun]

I had to look it up. Cool memory of the past. Probably, the markup at Malom Konner kept a lot of Corvettes on their lot? Almost all of these in my video were out the door at MSRP, and a week later now, most are already at home with their happy buyers.

[@Biden-SUCKS548]

They dont give me that feeling inside that the previous bodystyle did. I see no need to replace my v series xlr, or manual transmition sts wagoun!

[@theexorcist2605]

I'm just curious are they as easy to push as the front engine Corvettes

[@suresh_madhavan]

Buddy of mine got his last year for $197k. I just saw his same car on CarGurus (used with 1k miles) for $129k. These things are dropping faster than panties on NFL draft night.

[@felemeis]

I recently ordered a Z06 I currently Own a Stingray fully loaded for 95 The Z06 175 honestly I ended up not getting the ZO6 it's not worth the 80K extra Z06 are getting too expensive

[@CorvetteFun]

The calculation is different for everyone, depending upon what people want. Enjoy your C8 Corvette! Really, you probably can't go wrong. All three models are great!

[@michaelstokley6796]

This is a dream world for a normal American family.

[@CorvetteFun]

That rings true to me. Having a family of your own is expensive. One of the main ways I managed to buy a C8 Corvette is that I never had any kids!

[@MooMoo69556]

Define normal, this is obtainable for a family. I will be buying next year from MacMulkin

[@Mash333]

Come back next week. If the same cars are still there, then it might be heartbreaking.

[@V-CarChannel]

What dealer were you at

[@CorvetteFun]

This is at MacMulkin in Nashua, NH. They're the largest Corvette dealership by sales volume in the world.

[@V-CarChannel]

Thanks

[@pete6705]

I live near there. Maybe I should go in and see if they want to free up some space and let one go for 50k

[@CorvetteFun]

Doesn't hurt to ask! lol

[@mcviegas2566]

It's a hard life when accidents happen & they run. Driving my Kawaseksi Ninja ZX-6R @0610am Oct. 25, 2023, the driver rear-ended me left the scene, no witnesses my statement broken left clavicle, two left ribs & the EMT stepping on my left hand breaking my hand carpal bone & ring finger falinge. Terrible!

[@CorvetteFun]

Wow, that's horrible! It really had to have been tough to deal with... and probably still is. I know I got out of my accident comparably easy. My brand-new Corvette ERay is damaged, yes, but I can still drive it, and I wasn't physically hurt. The tractor trailer driver who rear-ended me when I was stopped at a light was tracked down from the photos I took, and his insurance company will pay for the repairs. Wishing you the best going forward.

[@zrider3704]

That big Wing looks ridiculous 😂😂

[@marblox9300]

The whole car looks ridiculous. Actually a BASE non-convertible looks better with NO wing.

[@Chris-pm8qp]

What a beautiful sight to see. 2:32 That new color is amazing.

[@Emilthehun]

This is the no1 corvette dealer. They will have a LOT of inventory and even other dealers will buy from them. They got no problem selling these cars. Wish i could afford to change in my c5 , but i cant see paying that much money unless its a house 😂

[@Pantera-wu9ty]

That wing looks like it belongs on a rice burner....

[@123antknee]

A nice set of Foglamps would set these cars off so nicely! But these prices are ridiculous. Seems like we are normalizing everyday cars costing over 100k... and then the take a 20% plus hit in depreciation once you drive it off the lot.

[@ep3578]

This is MacMulkin in New Hampshire. They’re a top 3 corvette dealership in the country. You should have seen the line when they had a C8 to show when it was first released. Hundreds of people in line, if not thousands. Their prices are kinda ass tho

[@CorvetteFun]

True, and they're actually the #1 Corvette dealer by sales volume. The prices I quoted are MSRP sticker prices from the factory, and if you order a Corvette from them, that's what you pay. They don't charge any ADM (Additional Dealer Markup).

[@sde9023]

Only 175k?! Hahahaha I'll wait for the Zr1 for almost the same price.

[@CorvetteFun]

Well, the ZR1 price hasn't been announced yet. The ZR1 may start at under $200k, or may not, but the Z06 I showed in my video has almost every option available. You can't really compare the two. I'd love to own either, but I'm also very happy with my ERay!

[@nopayflicks]

I’ll keep driving my trucks and travel.

[@losxlakers]

I can’t believe the big rig fled the scene. He’s screwed if he’s caught. Need a front and rear camera.

[@CorvetteFun]

I pulled over after getting hit, but when the truck driver didn't stop, I got back into traffic and took a photo of the license plate. Then I pulled over and called the police. The officer has already tracked them down.

[@losxlakers]

@@CorvetteFun Wow. Thanks for the reply. I used to be a truck driver. The driver is screwed. Glad you’re ok.

[@losxlakers]

@@CorvetteFun I just found your channel. KZbin put it in my feed. I like your content. If you don’t mind, what do you do for work? You sound very young and have a beautiful car.

[@demokid2000]

OMG great prices soon :D

[@CorvetteFun]

You were right. Today's video shows that!

[@hotshoe1958]

I thought that the C.F. 5 spoke wheels came with the Z07 package or am I incorrect?

[@hotshoe1958]

I see a CRAP TON of C8’s of used for sale on all over the net.

[@ryanyoshimura]

Nope. About $12k wheel option on top

[@squalewally7297]

The Z06 would put me in jail. I’m happy with the base model.

[@CorvetteFun]

The C8 Stingray is a great car. I loved mine!

[@anthonywood8587]

And according to every corvette owner everywhere, all one of ones….

[@bradmouland7527]

🤣🤣🤣

[@REAL4wd]

Thank you for the video, those ZO6s are absolutely gorgeous,. 100% my next spots car will be the C8Z.

[@CorvetteFun]

Thank YOU, glad I could help!

[@Nick0777]

You think there’ll be a time soon when we can just walk into a dealership and buy it at MSRP? I don’t see it here in Washington state yet

[@danielfair4675]

Get out of your state and shop.

[@Rob_S_Z06]

I did at palm Chevy in Florida. 116k sticker out the door

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

Don't feel sorry for these dealers or for Chevrolet. I was a C7 LT3 convertible owner who wanted to stay in the family with the C8. But after watching them go out the door at 2X-4X MSRP thanks to these greedy dealers I said the hell with it and got a Jaguar that I love to pieces. I'm listening in this video to "$175k - what a bargain!" for a car that was announced at $90k and that they were probably demanding $225k for six months ago. Well 50% of what you think you're going to get is better than 100% of nothing. Should have learned that in school. Enjoy the traffic jam of inventory on your lots.

[@ramonr2699]

What dealership is this?

[@CorvetteFun]

MacMulkin in Nashua, NH. They're the #1 Corvette dealership by sales volume.

[@dburns8381]

In a year they will STILL be setting there. That Orange is HIDEOUS. The only Orange that Chevy had was Hugger Orange. Had a '69 Camaro in Hugger Orange. SS/RS 396.

[@zrider3704]

I'll take the C7 ZO6 all day at least it still looks like a Corvette 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@ezpz4659]

enjoy your overheating lt4 with cylinder deactivation and crappy lifters. Great car, but has a few issues

[@garypuls5263]

Good luck selling all those!

[@CategoricalImperative]

When I went car shopping out of necessity in 2021, so many people I knew were buying above their means….. I decided to buy a Toyota. Knowing that eventually the car I really wanted would be discounted heavily when the flood hit. Life’s simplest rules…… when everyone is buying…. Wait. When everyone is selling… lowball. Rinse, repeat.

[@CorvetteFun]

You sound like a smart man to me!

[@CategoricalImperative]

@@CorvetteFun Thanks man.... diggin your channel.

[@garyhill2740]

People demanded exotic euro style engineering in their modern performance cars..... Then complain about the prices being too high. You can't design a car with tech like a GTLM and then sell it for cheap.

[@bolivar4537]

The most mass produced corvette of all time and it doesn't even come in manual. These things are going to depreciate like crazy.

[@mksherwood3068]

Channel stuffing will soon assure much lower prices. I’m a three-time Corvette owner and one day. I woke up and realized “I’m just driving a Chevy“ and I thought they were not worth the extra cost.

[@CarsBikesBoats7]

Most of these are sold orders... This dealer still has a huge backlog of people waiting to order their spec at MSRP.

[@CorvetteFun]

Thanks for the help. Sold orders is one of the things I talk about in my "Part II" video, posted yesterday, as I had trouble keeping up with all the comments on this one!

[@JamesSalomon947]

People who were over paying for those Z06 🤷🏿. I waited 3years until i found a 21' Z51 at mrsp
