Every “Top” Phoenix Chevy Dealer is Selling C8 Z06 OVER MSRP

With the release of C8 Corvette Z06 pricing and order banks ready other than dealers waiting for their allocations we decided to check in on the current state of the C8 Corvette Z06 lists and call every “top” corvette Chevy dealer in Phoenix with a specialty in Corvette sales the last few years.

Here’s what some of Chevy Dealers in Phoenix, Arizona had to say about marking up the C8 Corvette Z06

  • Van Chevrolet wants $100k over sticker, 10k deposit but then there was a video that surfaced at $85k over MSRP for a C8 Corvette Z06
  • Earnhardt Chevrolet $75k over sticker and they have 16 people ready to go on this supposedly (didn’t mention if they actually have deposits)
  • Midway Chevrolet $50k over sticker and again have 15 plus people ready to do this (didn’t mention they have deposits)
  • AutoNation Chevrolet Arrowhead $40k over sticker, need deposit at time of order and then you get picked from a hat!
  • Gateway Chevrolet has 1 person ready to pay $74,900 over stick, 5 at $50k over and you can pay more than the first person to be the first order on their list. (they are a dealer that has been marking up C8 Corvettes since they came out just like Van Chevrolet.)
  • Sands Chevrolet Surprise want $40k over MSRP and didn’t seem like they took deposits yet or have a solid list willing to pay that
  • Sands Chevrolet Glendale said they are not sure but most likely $30k over MSRP and again haven’t entered an order yet and seems like they haven’t taken deposits but have a list of people they will call to see if they are willing to pay that.
  • Courtesy Chevrolet said they have 60 people at first on their list and then it turned into 76 people and they are charging a $20,000 mark up and all 76 people agreed to that mark up supposedly.

Luckily there are dealers in the country that are offering the C8 Corvette Z06 at MSRP like Ciocca, MacMulkin, and Criswell Chevrolet. Also, Whitmoyer Chevrolet who is friends with StreetSpeed717 and has about 4-5 YouTubers as his first orders is also honoring MSRP.

Let us know if you find out anything about any Phoenix Chevrolet Dealers in Arizona that aren’t changing MSRP or told you something different from above and we will update the information as given to us.

If you are an Phoenix Arizona Chevy dealer and want to correct any of this information or add to it leave a comment below and we will make it public and happy to edit any updates. This information was given to us directly from “Corvette” sales reps when calling about the C8 Z06 lists at these Chevy Dealers.

Also, if you guys like this content let us know and we will call some other top Chevy Corvette dealers in different states to see what they are doing as well.

Speed Phenom on YouTube has covered the markups on the C8 Corvette Z06 and C8 Corvette in Southern California as well many times.

And StreetSpeed717 learned that the 2nd list he was on besides Whitmoyer Auto Group wanted over $100,000 MSRP to move up their C8 Z06 list as well.

Lastly if you find any Phoenix Chevy Dealer or any dealer in Arizona with a small list, no list, and selling a C8 Corvette Z06 at MSRP hit us up in the DMs and Follow us on Instagram @c8corvetteblog or leave a comment below. We will keep our C8 Corvette Blog updated.

2023 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 Markups! (VIDEO)

In this video by Speed Phenom on YouTube he visits a few local dealers in his area in Southern California to not only see the C8 Corvette mark ups that have continued these last few years but also other brands like Ford and Porsche marking up their vehicles as well.

As the supply chain issue persists, inflation has risen to over 9%, and with short supplies and high demand for performance vehicles like the C8 Corvette Z06 some dealerships are still taking advantage and charging $20k-$200k in mark ups on the most sought after cars. That mark up is pure profit for each dealership.

Recently we posted a video of StreetSpeed717 facing this same issue trying to get his 2nd C8 Corvette Z06 since he already took the first placement with Matt Beaver at Whitmoyer Auto Group in Pennsylvania. Streetspeed1717 learned that the other Chevy dealer wanted $100k plus markup to move him up on their C8 Z06 list.

Chevrolet and General Motors are trying to combat dealers with memos and flippers with voiding the warranty on the C8 Corvette Z06 if you sell it before the first year of ownership.

However, that will not stop a flipper it might stop the potential for used car dealers to buy it or the second owners of the C8 Z06 that lose the warranty potentially. They are blacklisting people that flip the C8 Z06 from getting access to newer C8 Corvette models or Corvette models in the future as well.

What is UP Youtube?  Welcome to Fred’s Full Throttle! So here we are mid July, (lunge) ….and we don’t have the Z06 pricing yet.  Not really a surprise, as I think the surprise will be whenever it gets announced. However in the meantime, I’ve had a few people ask me about my thoughts on pricing and specifically what people should be willing to pay.  Today we’re going to talk about pricing, and specifically my thoughts on how much over MSRP I’d be willing to pay.

Towards the end of this video Mike StreetSpeed717 talks about a Chevy Dealer in Houston Mac Haik charging 90k over MSRP for the C8 Corvette Z06

C8 Corvette E Ray Prototype Goes Up In Flames (VIDEOs)

In this video by ICNV Drivers Edition he discusses the recent Corvette E-ray prototype goes up in flames while testing in Spain.

The Hybrid electric Corvette E Ray is suppose to be a competitor to the Acura NSX with front electric motors that assist the front wheels along with the C8 Corvette Stingray engine in the rear. The C8 Corvette E Ray is going to be the first step in electrifying the Corvette before going full electric to compete with Tesla with their Roadster if that ever comes out and their current Tesla Model S Plaid that does 0 to 60 in 1.99 seconds and the quarter mile at 154 mph in the low 9s.

He is covering the C8 Corvette E Ray prototype news from Motor1.com, CarBuzz, and Road & Track.

Per Motor1.com news Chevrolet provided this statement.

Chevrolet has issued a statement regarding the fiery incident. In an e-mail to Motor1.com, Trevor Thompkins, Senior Manager, Chevrolet Passenger Cars, Performance and Motorsports Communications at General Motors, said:

“A Corvette development vehicle undergoing extreme testing by one of our suppliers this week had a thermal incident. All who were involved are safe as this is our top priority.  We are investigating the situation with the supplier.”

You can learn more about the C8 Corvette Eray Prototype going up in flames and catching fire in his video below.

Here is an Instagram Video of the C8 Corvette Eray prototype up in flames.

Recently the C8 Corvette Eray hybrid was seen testing at the Nurburgring. And Corvette confirmed on Instagram that the hybrid electric all wheel drive C8 Corvette Eray would be next and a fully electric C8 Corvette would follow after that.

Which C8 Z06 warranty will GM Void you sell first year!?! When is my Z06 Coming?!?

In this video from Records Rebuilds on YouTube he shares his insights on the C8 Z06 Warranty GM will void in the first year to prevent flippers from selling the C8 Z06 in the first 12 months.

What do you think? Do you think flippers will lose out now and maybe dealers they were going to flip the C8 Corvette Z06 to will no longer be interested since it will void the warranty on the C8 Corvette Z06?

Also, he has a custom calculator that helps you get a best estimate of when you might receive your C8 Corvette Z06 if you are on the list at Ciocca Corvette as he is.

Records Rebuilds was one of the best YouTubers with information about getting on Ciocca Corvette’s list to have the best chance at an MSRP C8 Corvette Z06. And also shared how to track your C8 Corvette Z06 list order number with Ciocca Corvette in case someone dropped off the list.

Ciocca Corvette bought Kerbeck Corvette within the last year and sold the most C8 Corvettes in 2021 with over 1,400 C8 Corvettes sold.

He is in the low 200s on their list and is thinking he will get it now in the March 2023 range if the C8 Z06 production starts September 15th, 2022 as projected.

C8 Z06 Tour Hits Whitmoyer Auto Group

As the C8 Corvette Z06 makes its rounds on the dealer tour it finally hit Whitmoyer Chevy or Whitmoyer Auto Group where at least 4-5 YouTubers are ordering their C8 Z06 from Matt Beaver who’s good friends with StreetSpeed717.

In these videos below from TurboTrouble, Jaret Campisi, My Calculated Randomness and even Mike StreetSpeed717 you can get an up and close look at the new C8 Z06. Also, they get some revs and start ups.

Everyone is blown away about the the new C8 Corvette Z06 and lists our over 6,000+ at one of the top Corvette dealers in the country. Since the C8 Corvette came out it’s taken the Automotive industry hype of a new model car to a new level.

Matt Beaver is putting in orders for Jaret Campisi & Christina Khalil, the Stradman, TJ Hunt, Dragtimes, and of course StreetSpeed717.

StreetSpeed717 just found out how insane the C8 Corvette Z06 mark ups really are when he checked on the 2nd list he was on for another C8 Z06 besides the one he is getting with Matt Beaver and they wanted $100,000 over MSRP.

In this video you can see another set of YouTubers Jaret and Christina Khalil order their C8 Z06 with Matt Beaver.

THE NEW C8 CORVETTE Z06 UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

StreetSpeed717 Learns About C8 Z06 Mark Ups (VIDEO)

In this video by Mike (StreetSpeed717) on YouTube he reached out to another Chevy Dealership for a second C8 Corvette Z06 since he already was first on his buddy Matt Beaver at Whitmoyer Chevy’s List.

As he went to go check in on his 2nd C8 Corvette Z06 list the Chevy saleswoman called him back and said he is still on the list but the current mark up was $100,000 and if he paid more he can get pushed higher up in the front of the line.

Although this was shocking for StreetSpeed717 since he is use to Matt at Whitmoyer hooking him up with the 1st position on his Corvette lists as they come out he wasn’t aware the other Chevy dealers have gone this insane.

Also, this isn’t anything new since even starting with the C8 Corvette in March of 2020 as they hit lots Chevy dealers from our own personal experience here in Arizona were charging $20k plus mark ups on that car. Van Chevrolet and Gateway Chevrolet being a few examples.

Currently this weekend we checked the local Arizona market and Van Chevrolet is still 100k over MSRP, 10k deposit, Midway Chevrolet wants 50k mark ups and supposedly have 16 people ready to pay that.

Earnhardt Chevrolet was over 75k MSRP, Gateway Chevrolet told us they have someone willing to pay 74.9k over MSRP, 5 other people willing to pay 50K over but we could be 6th on their list at MSRP unless we wanted to beat the $74.9k mark up.

Although GM is sending out letters and trying to stop flippers with the $5000 Chevy Rewards offer and no warranty if you sell the C8 Z06 within the first 12 months the bigger issue is the Chevy Dealers.

If GM and Chevrolet really wanted to stop the over MSRP nonsense they could take the Tesla approach only on the Corvette brand let people buy directly from them and have them delivered to their door or local Chevy Dealer for pick up. The Chevy dealers will still get the service on the Corvettes and then Chevrolet can price the Corvettes higher to keep flippers from making any profit on a flip.

Here are more articles we have written about the insane mark ups on the C8 Corvette and C8 Corvette Z06 over the last two years.

I Bought A C8 Corvette And I Don’t Know What To Do With It

In this video by Rebuild Everything he shares his new car build as a 2021 Red Mist C8 Corvette with Natural dipped interior. Also, it came with Bronze Niche Wheels but he’s contemplating should he go widebody kit or maybe a carbon fiber aero package like Racing Sport Concepts provides.

He is going for a one of one show stopper approach. This way if he goes to car shows people will think it really stands out and want to take a look at what he built.

We think he should do the Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber Aero Kit, Exhaust, Sport Cats,  Headers, lower it, wrap it, and change the wheels out to some of the other C8 Corvette aftermarket wheel options we have covered on the site.

He asking for suggestions and opinions so go leave him some comments on his YouTube channel or in our comment section below. He almost went with a Nissan GTR at first but decided on the C8 Corvette.

We actually just posted a Red Mist C8 Corvette build with AL13 Wheels on one of our Instagram pages @C8Corvetteblog as well.

Details of Every 2023 Z06 Corvette Built So Far

In this video with Rick Corvette Conti he shares the stats on all of the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Test Vehicle and pre production builds.

Rick is a car salesman at Couglin Chevrolet of Pataskala in Pataskala Ohio and specializes in selling only corvettes for the dealership.

He gets information directly from General Motors and Chevrolet when it comes to ordering, production, allocations and as the Chevy dealers get the information in the US.

He has mentioned his store was going to have a bidding war for the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 with his allocations going to the top bidders. Not sure if that has changed or not but that is what he has shared on his social media profile and YouTube when the C8 Corvette Z06 was revealed in October 2021.

In the breakdown he shares there are 96 captured test fleet Corvette Z06s with 54% being coupes and 46% being convertibles. In the video you can learn more about the 96 Test and pre production 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 vehicles and learn how Chevrolet built each car.

The one thing we noticed is the break down seems like a real retail production run and what it really would look like with the options being very similar to what we think people would choose or have chosen with the 2023 C8 Corvette base model stingrays as well.

C8 Corvette E Ray & C8 Corvette Z06 Testing at the Nürburgring

In these videos by Ruud Gloudemans and CarSpyMedia on YouTube you can see the new C8 Corvette E Ray and the New C8 Corvette Z06 testing at the Nürburgring again.

This makes a lot of sense since Chevrolet has released C8 Z06 pricing and is opening ordering July 28th with Chevy dealers but hasn’t released the production schedule, allocations, and the Nurburgring time.

Also, Mark Ruess, the President for General Motors has discussed the recent electric all wheel drive C8 Corvette coming next after the C8 Corvette Z06 on CNBC.

With the C8 Corvette Z06 getting closer to start production in September of 2022 that means they are going to have to provide information on the C8 Z06 and possibly the Electric Corvette Hybrid Assist E Ray soon as well.

People will want to know the performance numbers of both C8 Corvette models and variants to know what they are getting performance wise for each of their respective starting pricing as the C8 Z06 starts at $106,000.

You can see the C8 Corvette Z06 and Eray testing at the Nurburgring at about the 4:45 mark of this video.

Would You Trade a C8 Corvette for a 2017 Nissan GTR?

In this video by TJ Hunt he takes his girlfriend Sabrina Leamon to West Coast Exotics in California to check out a trade offer on her C8 Corvette for a 2017 Nissan GTR.

As you can imagine we are biased and agree with a lot of the points at the end of the video. For example, although a Nissan GTR is fast and can be modded for even more performance a lot easier than a C8 Corvette with a locked ECU the interior and exterior design is very outdated.

The interior alone in a C8 Corvette with the latest technology and getting a complete facelift is so driver focused and beautiful the GTR interior looks 10 years behind.

Also, the exterior of the C8 Corvette and being a Mid Engine car has a lot more of an exotic look in our opinion. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
