Over the course of the last year, we have witnessed Chevrolet dealers systematically declare that customer relationships were off the table when it comes to selling the 2023 Corvette Z06. We heard from buyers who had been on a list for years who were suddenly confronted with large market adjustments. Even worse are those dealers who placed orders for customers and then held the car for ransom: Pay $50K over MSRP and you can own the car. If you walk away, the dealer threatens to sell it for an even higher ADMs.
This behavior started prior to the infamous January 2022 letter from GM’s Steve Carlisle telling dealers to behave professionally, and that General Motors won’t tolerate those that “demand money above and beyond the reservation amounts…or those who have requested customers pay sums far in excess of MSRP in order to purchase the vehicle.” Unfortunately, that letter did nothing to stop the aggressive sales tactics which only accelerated once ordering for the car started in the summer.
We heard from many customers who despite owning previous Corvettes said they would never buy another GM product based on how they were treated. Dealers have killed the spirits of more than a few Z06 buyers, and their behavior should have consequences for harming the reputation of GM and its products.
Instead, the bad behavior continues unabated. Steve Carlisle’s letter fell on deaf ears, and we were simply told that dealerships are independent businesses and the reason why pricing is called the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price is because it’s only a suggestion, and pricing isn’t written in stone.
But you guys know all this already. What I have said isn’t a surprise. Many have suggested not rewarding dealers for their bad behavior, but it can be hard to saying “NO” to paying over MSRP when a dealer dangles your dream car in front of you.
We’ve often wondered just how widespread this dealer gouging is on Z06 prices, and now thanks to a member of the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com named DaveC81, we have some empirical evidence and can name some of the worst offenders. Whether or not the Corvette Nation rises up to say no more to these specific dealers is still probably too much to ask, but I hope you will at least be as disgusted as I am after reviewing this list.
There are several in our hobby who have taken it upon themselves to follow the production of the Z06 and Stingray, and the MECF member who gave us this info tells us that he has been collecting the sales details of Z06s through the Chevrolet.com Live Inventory button. Those cars are shown with their window stickers and from that he was able to gather pricing information that includes market adjustments. According to DaveC81, he has captured the build data for 2,700 new Z06s produced, and of that list, he has the actual dealer pricing for 1,934 Corvette Z06s. He tells us that 66% of those dealers are selling their Z06s for greater than MSRP. Even more egregious is the fact that many dealers have had multiple allocations which were all sold at thousands higher than the suggested retail pricing.
DaveC81 provided us with a table of dealers with ADMs of $10,000 or more. This is simply a market snapshot and not the complete list, but it does show what certain dealers are charging over for the Z06. That list shows 27 Chevrolet dealers who added $100,000 or more to the sales price for the new Corvette Z06. At the top of the leader board is Victory Chevrolet of Charlotte, NC which priced one Z06 for $140K over MSRP. There were 99 dealers who added an additional $50,000-$99,999 for the Z06, and another 92 dealers added market adjustments of between $10,000 and $49,999.
Here are screenshots from Chevrolet’s Live Inventory page showing the top two highest ADMs recorded (so far) for the Corvette Z06:
Here the table sharing the pricing details. ADM rank is for one vehicle, and we can also see the total number of Z06s delivered to that same dealership. You can use the sorting feature at the top for additional analysis.

Thanks again to DaveC81 for sharing these figures and details with us. Now that you are armed with this data, are you prepared to do what has to be done to reel in these gouging dealers? No Corvette owner should give any of these dealers their hard earned money, and you shouldn’t be supporting their services departments either.

Been on waiting list for going on 3 years with multiple dealers and 1 allocation @ MSRP .. I also have several recorded conversations , deposits checks to back it up and multiple attorney conversations and they are just plain F($$&@n the people who are buying them . Columbus Chevrolet Indiana and Bradley Chevrolet Franklin Indiana are guilty of ripping the consumer off . I actually could have went to a reputable dealership that has integrity and already had one of these cars at MSRP Months ago ….Rumors are circulating about Corvette splitting from Chevrolet I hope to GOD they reap what they sow .. Dbl down with dealerships that have integrity @ MSRP eliminating rip off dealerships …
These dealers are short sighted. However to say ‘I’ll never buy another Corvette’ or ‘I’ll never buy another Chevrolet’ or ‘I’ll never buy another GM product’ doesn’t make since. GM and Chevrolet didn’t do this, these gready dealers did. And not all dealers. As a matter of fact the volumn Corvette dealers are the MSRP dealers, not these greedy jerks.
The main reason is the customers that buy them at MFSP and flip them for $100.000 profit make dealers say I have a lot of overhead why should I let a customer make the money, I should
Hm… I live near Martin Chevy in Torrance, CA. Not bad, compared.
Still can’t afford one (but I will Saturday, after winning the lotto!).
I applaud this article being printed. The markups are incredible and the number of dealers doing this practice reflects unethical behavior and lacks integrity. Who would want to do any type of business with these dealerships? If they gouge you on price, then what are the other ways they take advantage of customers. You always create your own good or bad karma.
Whenever something is in demand some people try to take advantage. Order your Vette from the largest dealer, Macmulkin in New Hampshire. You might wait 10 months but they will deliver it to your town, for MSRP, and no BS. Great experience.
ESTERO BAY CHEVROLET has sold most Z06s at $100k over and recently at a bit less. I was told even though I waited 4 years and was promised car one or two at MSRP I was told when “MARKET PRICING” gets to MSRP I can have a car.
After 15 years and 10 new corvettes I have left this dealer
Drive what you have and let them sit on their inventory! Cheaters….
Disgusting! If they have the data to show us those dealers that are overpricing the cars with mark-ups, how about also listing the dealers that are selling them for MSRP? That way we can see who we want to do business with! Now that information I would like to see!
raise your hand if you will sell your Z06 at sticker when you get it ,,,lol
Mark Wahlberg, millionaire movie star,
bought a couple longtime “hometown “ Chevrolet dealers in Columbus Ohio. I doubt if he needs more money. Someone I knew in the car business once told me that to be a success in the car business you had to have “larceny in your heart.“

C1TOC8 says why should the customer make the money on the resale? Three things, reselling with no warranty is a gamble at best. Secondly, dealers are making plenty at MSRP on the most expensive car they sell. And finally, goodwill has value, so why blow it on fleeting greed?
If GM wanted to discourage price gouging why do several dealers have 3-4 cars? Wink-Wink-Nod-Nod……Remember to ZR1 of the 90’s, Pace Cars, etc…..father time and depreciation will catch up…..not the “bang for the buck” anymore…..
Dealers & Buyers are just unrealistic. The C8 Z06 is a track focused car. I ordered and rec’d my non-Z C8 from Bob Stall and paid MSRP. Its more enjoyable as a daily driver, anyway.
Mary Berra needs to go, all she does in talk nonsense.
Oh yes while making her $29.7 million this year.
Dealer gouging, crap quality vehicles coming from Mexico!!
Mary’s gotta go!!!
Are these prices what they are asking, or actual sales prices. ADMs is a wish price in my opinion.
Now let’s see if Chevrolet will have the balls to punish these dealers. If Steve Carlisle doesn’t stand by his word he has NO BUSINESS working for GM or CHEVROLET for that matter. Mary Barra needs to step up to the plate. Simple take away there ability to buy vettes for several years. Let them buy all the low profit margin cars. Of course they could always do something like Ford did with the GT40’s and not let them flip[ them for several years. It does no good for the dealerships for long term and future sales but regretfully I see there side too as there is no used cars dealers (or new car dealers) selling used C8 or even C7 for less than the MSRP of when they were new here in SW Florida.
Nash Chevrolet in Lawrenceville, Georgia has not and will not mark up any of their cars. They are the best.
I bought my 2022 C-8 Vette, fully tricked out and even got $500 knocked off the MSRP due to some universal Chevy promo. Thanks Chase and NASH!!
Gary McB!!
I have had 2 vettes in my life. No vette is worth 100,000. I will look at Ford GTs .
That’s a lot of window tinting and nitrogen.
Let them sit in dealer inventory!
Stonebriar Chevrolet , Frisco, Tx. charges 50k over MSRP for the Z06. Don’t think they are on the list.
It’s the factory’s fault. Make more of them and the frenzy goes away. Look how the gouge you on a new truck. Both my 2019 C7 and Silverado had huge discounts. Those were the good old days.
Thanks for posting this list of Chevrolet dealers to never use. And I mean never. Not for new cars and not for service.
I bought my C7 Z06 from Knippelmier Chevrolet in Oklahoma City and got a great deal ar the time. I was supposed to be 17th on their C8 Z06 list, but they have never contacted me again and they just lost a customer who previously would have (and did) recommend them
Short sighted indeed.
Kevin Whitaker, probably the #1 dealer in SC. They won’t budge on anything, I didn’t even bother with that guy, I went straight to MacMulkin. I’d never deal with Whitaker again on anything.
But I have yet to hear of anything actually happening to any dealership doing this.
Chevrolet has the keys to the store. If they don’t like the dealers charging excessive premiums, simply stop giving those dealers an allocation…it’s pretty basic logic.
Sorry, Mary-haters, GM can’t force all dealers to charge the same price. Some might even say that’s price fixing and/or it’s an illegal restraint of trade. Unfortunately, the best a corporation can hope for is that the dealers will behave with some integrity…and these characters have not done that.
Mary knows what she’s doing; you just don’t like her because she’s a successful female engineer who happens to make a similar amount of money to what her male counterparts make.
I know some of the dealers in Oklahoma aren’t on this list, and they are marked up! I’m a GM retiree, and I get employee pricing, I feel if GM would drop the hold, some of these greedy dealers would really lose business, cause they can’t let an employee have a discount on one vehicle but not the other, has to be every car on the lot!
I live in Arizona and am not shocked that Arizona is at the top of the list. The dealers here are charging 100 grand for used 2021 1LT corvette. So I am having to go out of state to look for a C8 or just get a C7 instead, which will probably be my choice.
Pretty despicable. The nice thing is there ARE dealers that are selling at MSRP, problem is they cant get enough inventory. I’m waiting for one to call me and I’ll get in my order. As for the gougers, they will not get a dollar out of me and I’ll spread the word as to who they are.
Well GM, has solved the problem of Additional Dealer Mark-ups. In 2024, GM – as of now – GM has not published the MSRP for the 2024 Z06, on the builder. See problem solved. I, at one time, seriously had a thought of buying a C8 ZR1, but that’s out of the question now, given the mark-ups they will be close to $500k to get one.
I’ve been selling Chevrolets for 45 plus years at Powers Swain Chevrolet in Fayetteville North Carolina. While G.M. Continues to reward these dealers who have been charging outrageous prices for corvettes, at Powers Swain are not charging over MSRP .Even the one Z06 we sold. We’re only 6 to 7 corvettes a year. While the other Chevrolet dealer in town has gotten 29 corvettes in the passed year and charging $5000.00 over MSRP.One would think G.M would reward the dealer that tries to do the right thing.
Bullshit post. I’m the owner of Victory Chevy and we never marked up out Vette that much. It may have been an accident for a day and you took a screen shot to post for click bait! We are the lowest price in Charlotte and already sold it.
