KBB Value dropping drasticly

^when it comes to buying a car new, I don't think any manufacturer is "firm" on MSRP. I think that's a myth. Maybe in the beginning of the new, refresh model, they'll be firm. But wait at least 6 months and try to buy it then. I bet you can get the new C7 at a slight discount by the end of this year, mark my word. I looked into getting one, and the Chevy salesman told me something like, "GM will intentionally produce a low volume of this Corvette because it wants to keep the Corvette 'exclusive'..." I was like, "yeah sure" to myself. In 2 to 3 years, the C7 will become ubiquitous and Chevy dealers will discount them a good bit. Even Porsche 911 turbos (997), $150,000 cars, were being sold at or near invoice. Car dealers are not in love with their inventory. If a car dealer is firm on price, then it means that dealer is allocated a very small amount of that model, or they just don't want your business enough.
