May 2011 Corvette Sales

General Motor released their monthly sales figures for May and Corvette sales continue to encourage us. In May 2011, 1,304 Corvettes were delivered to new buyers. Although the sales figures are down 8.7% over May 2010’s 1,428 Corvettes, it does rank as the second best month of sales since last May. For the calendar year, 5,597 have been sold which is pacing 13.1% over the 4,950 Corvettes sold the same time in 2010. Like I said, Corvette sales for 2011 are very encouraging.

To keep the sales rolling, Chevrolet has extended the factory incentives on new Corvettes through the July 4th weekend. For 2011 Corvette models, buyers can receive $3,000 Dealer Cash or 1.9% financing up to 60 months or 2.9% for 72 months. For the remaining 2010 Corvettes that are still in dealer showrooms, $4,000 in Customer Cash is available or finance it for 72 months at 0% interest. The only Corvette model excluded in the latest round of rebates is the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition.

Speaking of the Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition, we heard that production of the limited edition lightweight Corvettes have finished and a total of 252 were built. Searching Jeff Hardy’s website, we see a number of them listed as available for sale. To view the VINs and window stickers, go to JeffHardy.com and search 2011 Z06s in Supersonic Blue or Inferno Orange.

Finally, we are tracking a national inventory of 3,987 Corvettes. 3,595 are 2011s, 378 are 2010s and the final 14 are 2009 Corvettes.
