- I wasn't hurt - physically - but my 9-week-old 2024 Corvette ERay has seen better days. Thankfully, I can still drive it!

GOOD video, he's detailed, good camera work, showed and identified everything, front, back, sides, showed all the cars, very informative video. you don't really see this level of detail in other car videos.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful.
This dealership is in Nashua, New Hampshire. I bought my C8 in 2022 from this dealership. I live near Charlotte NC. I flew up, bought the car and drove it back to NC. HTC with the top down for 17 hours. It was a glorious ride.👍🏾
Nice!
Got a 2019 GS in June of that year for a huge discount! They were great to work with and Intercity brought it to CO without a scratch.
Sounds like a dream. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍. I would have turned around and went back to NH and then back to NC and then back to NH…….and skip everyday life.
What’s the dealership name
@@TosinCKE Probably MacMulkin.
This is what happens when so many dealers want to take advantage of buyers. Sure the 1% can afford any price for anything, the rest of us are disgusted with the ADM prices so we ARE not coming back
This is one of the dealers known to sell at MSRP.
@@AFVetteran Yes, they are widely known for it! Buyers who are "disgusted with the ADM prices" go to an MSRP dealership like this one instead and "are not coming back."
@@AFVetteran$175k for a Z06 is NOT MSRP. 😂😂
I feel i was lucky to get a z06 at 10k over msrp.
the 1% are very price aware .. if they overpaid its because it's a write off .. so the taxpayers paid for it
175,000 LOL you can have it.
Like you could afford it. 🙄
@@davidclemens1578 If they could knock off about $80k I might be able to make the payments.
I don't want the piece of s***
yup, at that price range i'm walking my ass into a porsche dealership.
@fallback8314 right? Might as well just bite the bullet and grab a used ferrari
Birds chirping makes it more beautiful.
Used car market is flooded with C8 stingrays. Should start to see prices in the $50’s soon
I think 30,000 are sold every year. They are all over the place, making Corvettes in general, way too common.
@@davepaturno4290fine with me to see them depreciate quickly so I can maybe afford one some day. Hellacious vehicle for the money.
Yeah it kind of devalue the car
65-70 new they should be low 40s by now
@@whitecometify low 40's not for another 6 years
I see the prices of the C8 are dropping pretty drastically for used ones. You can buy are 2023 3LT used with 2800 miles for $69,999. It had a MSRP of 91k. That is a lot of depreciation for the original buyer. They are all over the place on cargurus at these prices..
It makes sense why the prices of corvettes are dropping. Too much supply out there.
And wannabe owners realize the true cost with outrageous insurance and dumping the market and previous vette owners upgrading selling old models.
Well I woulda bought one a year ago but the stealerships are marking them up 20-40K. So they sit!!
The economy is not very strong, no matter what Joe says.
You should try expanding your mind and looking at other avenues of information because the economy is doing great @@joelpierce3940
@joelpierce3940 if the economy gets worse it's all over
There are so many Z06s available that they're storing them out behind the building, but dealers are still trying to upcharge for the super rare car.
I don't believe they're storing them there. AFAIK, they bring all Corvettes inside when they're not open for business. The cars I recorded out back were going through PDI (pre-delivery inspection), so they were being worked on, as most of them were already sold. Even in just the few minutes I was there, you could see in the video that some cars were being moved around. They were bringing them in and out of the shop, getting them ready for customers who had ordered them.
And all those people can work from their homes just like back in the COVID days and jacking up the prices and now that COVID is costing them their jobs
@@kenichitamagusuku3194 what?
@@kenichitamagusuku3194 ????? That statement makes zero sense
Red mist and black are my favorites. Thanks for filming.
Glad to hear your okay.
Slightly more attractive than a Cybertruck.
I never was a Corvette fan and I think that the hype of the last few years has only made it worse. I think that the C8 has just been taken too far.
Somebody shold drag race a C8 Stingray and a new Model 3 performance. Both 500hp.
Sorry to hear about the rear end crash. Glad you're ok. Hopefully the fix doesn't take too long
Thank you! I'm hoping parts are available, even though they've struggled to make only about 350 ERays so far.
@@AWDCorvetteERay Maybe they'll total your E Ray and give U a brand new one
@@vthomas2313 Thank you. Under some circumstances, that could be a good thing, but the ERay lists are so long that if I put down a deposit now to order another ERay at MSRP, I'd probably have to wait YEARS for it! Thankfully, it's not as bad as that and can be fixed. I'll make a video of the repair process once I get a copy of the police report and things get moving.

That should put a smudge on your carfax report. Big ouchie, dude. Drop in value. Better sue.
Great coverage! Thank you for the tour! I am sorry for the accident. They will get your vehicle back to shape!
You're welcome and thank you... glad you like the tour! I'm sure you're right that my ERay, which I call "Leap" (built February 29th), will be as good as new at some point, but getting rear-ended by such a large truck sure was traumatic!
"Leap" haha! I like that! Definitely get with doctors on making sure you have not suffered any soft tissue damage. That can lead to a lifetime of neurological and pain issues. Also, do not hesitate to speak with members of the behavioral / psychological community, just to make sure you are okay (from the accident). A lot of us suffer PTSD from car accidents, and never understand the long term psychological effect of it. Meantime, keep the faith that everything will work in your favor!
thats a fair dealership, i havent made up my mind between the z06 or eray im just waiting patiently
It is like Z06 Heaven where they come to just rest.
I bought a new Colorado Trail Boss here in Phoenix and the dealer has like 10 C8s sitting in the showroom all lined up for the last 4 months not selling!
The car manufacturers are pricing themselves out of the market with many of their car, truck, and SUV prices!
The shortages during the pandemic just stimulated their greed and disdain for the average customer and they have still refused to change their pricing strategy.
Prices for used Corvettes have finally started to come down. I recently bought a used C7 Z06 and even though it was still a little pricey I didn’t feel like I was totally mortgaging my future.
BTW, I no longer see any need at all in buying a Z07 package instead of a “base” Z06. The reason many performance enthusiasts bought the Z07 package for the C7 generation Vette was it didn’t overheat as readily! Now you’re paying thousands more for a few options.
The Z06 is a street-legal RACE CAR. The Z07 Performance Package takes it to the next level, but it's not needed for cooling! Thankfully, all C8 Corvettes were engineered to have super engine cooling capacity, so there's never a worry about any of the three models.
Fuel prices … since 2020 fuel prices have almost doubled in many areas. Fuel drives manufacturing prices, everything depends on the price of crude. Then you have fuel and high food prices affecting auto workers, who in turn demand higher wages. Of course, food prices are driven by fuel prices. Anything related to Covid is long over. That’s no longer any type of excuse. The only thing that’ll save this economy will be a two fold dramatic action. A huge decrease in fuel prices, a huge reduction in interest rates.
Just use common sense, if it costs more to produce because of fuel prices, and the cost to buy over time is higher .. what happens? Prices up, demand drops. Perfect recipe for economic disaster. Who did this? What politician?
Vote wisely.
Great job Brother!Stay on your grind.I started my channel almost 3 years ago,and love what I do.Stay true to your channel,is what I can share with you ,to help it grow.Good luck,and keep up the great job!🤝👍✌️
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words and advice, and I just subscribed to your channel, as well... looks like a fun place to hang out!
@@AWDCorvetteERay Thank you ,I really appreciate your support . I subscribed to you as well.🤝👍✌️
Excellent production!
Thank you! Very much appreciate the words of encouragement.
Many Z06 owners are upside down on their purchase. The idea of flipping for a profit is no longer a thing even for even a 70th edition car.
Four-wheel Trader has a great video on how these things have crashed in value. I'd hate to be somebody that paid well over MSRP for one. Yikes
@@bradmouland7527 People do this all the time on many luxury items. Hell Miatas in 1990 were 10k over when they were released, this is not a new phenomenon. Rolex GMT Pepsi and SS Daytona's are more than double the MSRP for used ones. Supply and demand.
As long as banks will pay them after so long dealers will continue to keep their prices high. Once the banks step in and say no more I have a feeling you’d be able to get any vehicle without dealer markup plus they’ll be ACTIVELY attempting to make deals.
I’ll keep driving my trucks and travel.
Whooo wheeee these are so beautiful! Thanks for taking your time to show us :))))
Oh..... and I'm not yet to the heartbreaking news..... still watching
Wellllll........that. is. Awful. So damn sorry. Happy you are ok!!
Thank you so much for caring about my ERay getting rear-ended (by an 18-wheeler)!
So many nice Corvettes! What's not to love?
We all hope that all ends up well for your car and you!!!
Thank you so much!
NH my old stomping grounds. I miss that state, the food, the flora and fauna. Such a beautiful state. I am sure you will make great lemonade.
Thank you, kind sir!
NH - overpriced. Not fer me.!!!
This is good, really good. Full dealer lots means low prices coming.
I'm just curious are they as easy to push as the front engine Corvettes
When I buy a C8 I'm getting it from MacMulkin
Sorry for the bad luck you had with your E-Ray. Hope it's fixed soon and the nightmare is over. -Glen
Not sure about "soon" but it will get fixed, Glen, and I'll make a video about the process... everything that it takes, which is a lot. "Nightmare" is a good word for being rear-ended. Thanks for your support!
There’s also a dealership in Southern California, Orange County that sells C8 at MSRP, but you have to order them
What dealer is that?
As soon as the ZR1 is released the prices of all these zo6’s is going to plummet
They already are. So many z06s being sold at msrp now.
No they won't
@BCars_Garage reputable dealers have been selling them at msrp.
If someones willing to pay above that, it's the buyers fault. A fool & his money are soon parted.
These cars will discount in the fall for sure! 10%
I’m glad that the C8 is still a unicorn here in Albuquerque NM i’ve only seen about 50 on the road in five years since it came out I’m planning to buy a 2028 ERAY
Here in California, Corvettes are like Honda Civics - everywhere! Exclusivity is not a selling point.
just checked their website out and they list 264 Corvettes in stock ...... wow ...
Some of the comments here are so funny. Look, this dealer sold just shy of 1700 Corvettes last year! Yep - that’s why you have to have inventory on hand. For all the sky is falling comments - if you are looking for a 2024 you didn’t spec and order and it’s over $100k you’ll find dealers knocking a few bucks off in stock. I’m not an industry insider nor do I work for GM or a dealer. There’s only 25,000 or so made a year. The top earners can buy that each year no problem. Stop hating. Good grief.
I’ve been shopping for 6 months and I can’t them. When you do find what you want they are pretty expensive. I don’t get what the trolls are talking about either
Context is essential, Thank you for your input. 👍
Mmm that seawolf Z0 is NASTY! gorgeous car. I liked my buddy's so much I ordered us a stingray designed based off of it. Very sharp. I looked in a 400 mile range, 8 in stock, picked 2 at random and both dealers 20-30k over MSRP. Those aren't stock I bet ya. Stingrays are finally on lots. Plenty of them but the Z06 proves still to be tough to get. I've got one available, customer backed out on. MSRP only. Putting word out to my pipeline come Saturday. Let me know if interested! We'll fly you in if desired or deliver enclosed.
🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏
Love the z 06 !!!
They remind me of the toy GI Joe plane from the 80s.
After seeing the Z06 in real life, I like em a little less. Definitely a really nice car but doesn’t grab me like I thought it would
Naa u prolly saw a ugly color or something
Me too, I saw one just yesterday in DC. Thought it was a stingray at first then I saw it was a Z06. I was like that’s it ? The hype is way more than what the car itself is.
I just absolutely love the sound of Z06(c8), massive improvement.
Actually the BASE non-convertible with no wing looks better. It's True.!!!
@@MrDahkilla You're paying I think $42K (!) extra, for the engine. Unless you hear the engine, yeah..
They dont give me that feeling inside that the previous bodystyle did.
I see no need to replace my v series xlr, or manual transmition sts wagoun!
Why do some of the Z06 have louvers on the rear hatch and some have the window come further back to the spoiler and no louvers? Is it different years?
Convertible
They are in the back because they are sold. Ask how many Z06’s are for sale! Lots of C8’s available for sale but not Z06’s. See all the sold signs on the front windows.
If you look at the website, they have at least 15 Z06 for sale right now, at, or below msrp 😂. People that paid $50K+ to early adopt these things must be in tears right now
Yeah all those z06 cars in the back are already sold
@@quencyedouazin5333 maybe, but I just got off the phone with them, and they have 19 Z06 that are not spoken for 🤷♂️
@@quencyedouazin5333 maybe, but I just got off the phone with them, and they have 19 Z06 that are not spoken for 🤷♂️
I disagree. All the dealers around me have unsold zo6s. The drought is over.
You think there’ll be a time soon when we can just walk into a dealership and buy it at MSRP? I don’t see it here in Washington state yet
Get out of your state and shop.
I did at palm Chevy in Florida. 116k sticker out the door
I saw an eray that sold at mechum this last weekend for 155K
$176K for a plastic car with plastic bits tacked on here and there, trying to emulate a Ferrari but failing badly
200k for a ZO6. Great car but it’s not double a stingray great. What’s next, the ZR1 300k 🤮 nope! Chevy has completely alienated their core fanbase.
Lots of wows there for sure,and the transporter was fully loaded for sure✅
I like The Hypersonic Grey
And if was in the market for a sports car,Bang For Your Buck,the Corvette,you couldn’t go wrong,as there performance is in the Super car category ✅
They actually look better in the flesh than in the photos,and personally,I’m not into all of the spoilers etc,as the body itself is “Busy”
All the best🥳
The name of this dealership please? Thank you
Sold mine! After i got beat by a stock c7z06 😢
Shoulda had a modded Supra with 800 HP
Reminds me of Malcom Konner in 1993 a sea of vettes ,but $40,000 plus.
I had to look it up. Cool memory of the past. Probably, the markup at Malom Konner kept a lot of Corvettes on their lot? Almost all of these in my video were out the door at MSRP, and a week later now, most are already at home with their happy buyers.
Where is this dealership?
The Z06 would put me in jail. I’m happy with the base model.
The Z07 package puts the design over the top for me.
Over the top is right. Actually the Base NON-convertible looks better. ZO7 for bragging rights but not for better looks. It's True.!!!
The Z06/Z07 is a street legal race car. It's supposed to be over the top... for performance!
@@AWDCorvetteERay But it looks stupid.
I told people to wait 2 years and the prices would come back down. BTW, check the prices of the 911’s. $150K over sticker for the GT3.
What dealer were you at
This is at MacMulkin in Nashua, NH. They're the largest Corvette dealership by sales volume in the world.
Thanks
I thought that the C.F. 5 spoke wheels came with the Z07 package or am I incorrect?
I see a CRAP TON of C8’s of used for sale on all over the net.
Nope. About $12k wheel option on top
I'm not sure why everyone's so concerned with the C8 market not crashing just returning to where it should be.
Remember General Motors offered the BCA at $60,000. Just because the market took that car over 100k+ Dan inventory shortage doesn't mean that it's new price point.
Even the ZO six is worth at best MSRP and even that's gonna go away pretty soon. It's like everybody forgot Corvette is supposed to be in affordable sports car under $100,000.
I think it's just nice to see normalcy to the price structure of the supercar/performance car market
The real big problem is the massive inventory overload that every manufacturer has particularly in trucks. Billions upon billions just sitting in depreciating. Do you want to really screw up the car that's the forecast.
All these are sold?
Are those ZO6s waiting for owners to pick them up, or are they for sale?
Some of both. I learned today that a New Hampshire resident drove down to Nashua and bought a Z06 off the showroom floor. He's a happy camper... and he didn't even need to camp out!
A nice set of Foglamps would set these cars off so nicely!
But these prices are ridiculous. Seems like we are normalizing
everyday cars costing over 100k... and then the take a 20% plus
hit in depreciation once you drive it off the lot.
no wonder allocation is screwed up for orders---all this inventory not moving while we wait for our orders out west.
Buddy of mine got his last year for $197k. I just saw his same car on CarGurus (used with 1k miles) for $129k. These things are dropping faster than panties on NFL draft night.
So are they selling them at msrp?
Judging by the video id say NOOO.
Entry level z06 - $112,700 MSRP
Z06 w/ Z07package - $143,620 MSRP
That wing looks like it belongs on a rice burner....
They've built well over 13k C8 Z06s now. It's not like people are fighting over these now.
I'll take the C7 ZO6 all day at least it still looks like a Corvette 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I will take a 1967 427 Stingray Convertible (in Marina Blue) over any of these any day.
Good luck selling all those!
Don't feel sorry for these dealers or for Chevrolet. I was a C7 LT3 convertible owner who wanted to stay in the family with the C8. But after watching them go out the door at 2X-4X MSRP thanks to these greedy dealers I said the hell with it and got a Jaguar that I love to pieces. I'm listening in this video to "$175k - what a bargain!" for a car that was announced at $90k and that they were probably demanding $225k for six months ago. Well 50% of what you think you're going to get is better than 100% of nothing. Should have learned that in school. Enjoy the traffic jam of inventory on your lots.
I hope you "stay ok"
What dealership, and where?
Well the name is plastered all over the cars so just look at the vid LOL
He hit you in the rear and then he took off ?? And you got his license ? That’s a felony and you should get a new car. You can’t take a chance on a bent frame.
14 MPG? Now THAT'S a gas puzzle to the max.
There are 6,202 C8s for sale on Autotrader alone 😮
Reminds me of the Rolex market.
What is the name of that dealership?
MacMulkin Chevrolet and Corvette.
That big Wing looks ridiculous 😂😂
The whole car looks ridiculous. Actually a BASE non-convertible looks better with NO wing.
whats next 200k zo6
This is the no1 corvette dealer. They will have a LOT of inventory and even other dealers will buy from them. They got no problem selling these cars. Wish i could afford to change in my c5 , but i cant see paying that much money unless its a house 😂
I recently ordered a Z06 I currently Own a Stingray fully loaded for 95 The Z06 175 honestly I ended up not getting the ZO6 it's not worth the 80K extra Z06 are getting too expensive
The calculation is different for everyone, depending upon what people want.
Enjoy your C8 Corvette! Really, you probably can't go wrong. All three models are great!
You won't see this at any Porsche dealers. 911's are hard to get and the ones they have are all used and marked up 15-20% over sticker and the service area only has cayman's and Macan's in to fix becasue the 911's don't break as much.
WOW
Why no E Rays there??? I'd heard they weren't selling?
Fewer than 400 ERays have been made. I only have one because I waited outside the dealership overnight in cold January weather, and last I knew this dealership alone had an ERay deposit list of over 700 people!
Getting stomach cancer is heartbreaking. It sucks, but just a car. LOL
Hope they catch the clown who hit you & ran. And hope he was fully insured but sort of doubt it...may be why he fled. Best of luck with your repairs!
Seats a family of 1 comfortably.
Not practical for many, of course, but absolutely glorious for those who can fit it into their lifestyle.
Where is the dealership ?
Nashua NH
Kind of like them a little better without the wing.
Maybe if they sold them at MSRP
C8s have been MSRP for YEARS. My buddy got his '21 easily at MSRP no need to even ask.
Most of these are sold orders... This dealer still has a huge backlog of people waiting to order their spec at MSRP.
Thanks for the help. Sold orders is one of the things I talk about in my "Part II" video, posted yesterday, as I had trouble keeping up with all the comments on this one!
The more time goes by the more I'm keeping my C6Z
Accelerated yellow ❤
Thank you for the video, those ZO6s are absolutely gorgeous,.
100% my next spots car will be the C8Z.
Thank YOU, glad I could help!
macmulkin is hoarding them while Z06 wait time in Canada is +4yrs
Absolute product flood. Corvette's and Z06 production is at 23,000 total units and over 7,000 Z06's for model year 2024 and counting. Almost zero exclusivity and as common as a Kia. The car shows and Cars & Coffee full of these. Inevitable that prices will reflect this, as great as they are.
I can’t believe the big rig fled the scene. He’s screwed if he’s caught. Need a front and rear camera.
I pulled over after getting hit, but when the truck driver didn't stop, I got back into traffic and took a photo of the license plate. Then I pulled over and called the police. The officer has already tracked them down.
@@AWDCorvetteERay Wow. Thanks for the reply. I used to be a truck driver. The driver is screwed. Glad you’re ok.
@@AWDCorvetteERay I just found your channel. CZcams put it in my feed. I like your content. If you don’t mind, what do you do for work? You sound very young and have a beautiful car.
You toss that in at the end and then NO PICS??
People demanded exotic euro style engineering in their modern performance cars.....
Then complain about the prices being too high.
You can't design a car with tech like a GTLM and then sell it for cheap.
The unusual colors and strange options that buyers might hate today are what will make these cars worth tons of money in the future. All you need to know a thing or two about that is to look into the past. Rare color combinations, rare engine options, and strange interior color combinations have always made Corvettes more exciting and more valuable. Chevrolet really needs to open the door to buyers with more color options. Hell, when the ZR1 comes out, I think buyers should be able to pick any color they want in the history of Corvettes. There should be an option to open the door to the entire historical lot of color choices.
Sad to see so many z06’s sitting there when I’ve been on the list for 2 years. Porsche calls and I’m out!
Porsche guy here. They have massively increased porsche prices lately. CarreraS was a $ 100-130k car, now $170 and Turbos usually $180k seeing $250k+. Some say Porsche market about to bust as well.
I want Sea Wolf with Cacti racing stripes.
Interesting! Would like to see what that looks like.
