2005 Corvette sales are down

[JKVIPER]

I just thought you might find this interesting:

According to Forbes Magazine, General Motors put out an overhauled Chevrolet Corvette in the later part of 2004, but in 2005 Corvette sales have actually decreased.


My own opinion is the lack luster styling is hurting the car's sales, but on the otherhand maybe many vette owners are waiting for the Z06 to be more available.

Sales are defenetly down on the Vettes! Some suckers were paying over msrp for the c6 here about 6 months ago...now they're discounted 10k off msrp. Then Dodge needs to stop building so many Viper's since they just sit around and get discounted heavily! This also wasn't the case last year this time when I didn't even come close to the discount people are getting right now.

1996-26,948 (last year C4)
1997 -9,752 (first year C5)
1998-31,984
1999-33,270
2000-33,682
2001-35,627
2002-35,767
2003-35,469
2004-34,064 (last year C5)
2005-37,372 C6

The C6 has had record sales, and will easily pass previous years, not even counting the new Z06. Sales being lower in the winter is expected.

Oversupply leading to late-year price discounts is a real issue though as we have seen with the SRT-10 Viper.
