The way GM is handling the allocations, I think they are trying to minimize this practice. If you are a high volume Chevy dealer but not a high volume Corvette dealer, you may not get an allocation for a 2014 in the early production period (6 - 9 months). The dealers that only sell a Vette occasionally tend to fall into the category that they want to get every dollar they can. The high volume Corvette dealers typically do not try to hold premiums above MSRP. Don't get me wrong, if you want a new one, you probably are going to pay MSRP or damn near it. If you check with Kerbeck in Atlantic City, MacMulkin in New Hampshire, Criswell in Maryland, you can get in on an allocation at MSRP. If you go to a Chevy dealer that is going to get two or three 2014s for the entire model year, those are the guys that you need to be careful dealing with.
Just my opinion.
