Try and find some other car enthusiasts in your area that have picked up a new Corvette or a 4th gen when they were out in 2002 and see what you can find out about markups and such. No guarantee that they won't take the opportunity to add to them this time, but I have been on my dealers list since Aug 2006. I know, I know, flame away. In short, I did it to get the car I wanted, the way I wanted it, not just to pick up something off the lot. I'm getting this car to hold onto it for a long time, so I'm doing what I can to ensure it's "my car". Anyway, I have it in writing that it will be at no more than MSRP. So, they are out there, just look around.
