This morning General Motors issued the sales report for September 2017. With the factory closed and the dealers offering Corvettes from their existing inventories, GM shows 1,506 Corvettes were sold in September 2017. That’s a decline of -46.8% in sales from the same time last year which recorded 2,828 deliveries that included the new 2017 Grand Sport.
For the calendar year (Jan-Sept), a total of 18,891 Corvettes have been sold. That number is also lagging behind the 22,719 Corvettes sold over the same time period in 2016.
Corvette dealers are taking orders for when production of the 2018 Corvette resumes in November. Although the Corvette Team had said production will resume the first week of November, our dealers are telling us that their first target production weeks are later in the month. In fact, we have even seen the NCM refer to the shut-down as lasting 3-4 months. As we get closer to November, we’ll have a better idea on exactly when the plant will restart for retail production.
Chevrolet has extended their current offer for 2017 Corvettes. They are offering 4.9% APR for 60 months on all three models. See your dealer for details.
Here’s the GM Sales Report for Corvettes in September 2017:
