Invoice is roughly 10-11% off sticker (not considering holdback) and I believe there are dealers out there doing 10%+ off '08's, so to buy an '07 would be tough to justify unless they went 15k+ off sticker.
Keep in mind the '07 will be 2 years old in 3-4 months when the '09's hit.
If you posted some numbers on the MSRP of the '07, I suspect others here would give their opinions also.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input. The only reason I'm considering the '07 is because I really like the Monterrey Red, and yes, I struggle with buying a year old (soon to be 2 year old) car without a deep discount. The sticker is $64K and they're only $10K off sticker which is not enough for me to justify it so I may go back with a bottom line number based on feedback I get here.......not to mention the trade offer for my current vette won't cut it either.
What do you think an '01 convertible with 5K miles is worth?

I hear you regarding the MR - my '07 Coupe is that color.
The new ( Crystal ? ) red is not "close enough" for you?
Another thing to keep in mind is that both the manual & automatic received sugstantial upgrades for '08.
As opposed to the '06 to '07 - where there were only the smallest detail changes...
Your $$s, your call, of course...
Good luck!

'07 MR to be for sale this Fall.....

I hear you on the Monty Red. Also loved the previous Mag Red.
I was very close to pulling the trigger on the new Crystal but it just didn't do it for me when I saw it in real life. It sat next to an Atomic Orange so that became my choice. I'd had 2 previous Yellow Z06's so it was time for a change.
Obviously the '07 you are looking at is a vert and I agree 10k off is not enough.
Just saw where Kerbeck is going 9k off on '08 Verts and 8k off on coupes.
Tough choice for you because of color and if your '01 has only 5k on the clock you will not be putting a ton of miles on the new one so whether it's an '07 or '08 may not be that big of a deal, providing you can buy the '07 for the right price.
As so value of your '01, I would check some "for sale" sites such as Cars.com or Autotrader.com
That may at least give you some guidelines.
Good luck, and keep us posted on your hunt.

What should I pay for a "new" 2007? by lawrence39

I just found a new 2007 convertible with a base price of near $54,000. The upgrades are the $4,500 (or close to it) sport package, chrome wheels, upgraded two-tone leather seats, one year of XM radio and onstar . . . total sticker was around $63,650. I have the dealer down to $47,500, which is roughly $16,000 below sticker. I know the car is almost two years old, but this seems like a good deal. Any thoughts?

I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. You'd have trouble finding a good used 07 Vert with that equipment for so little.

Thanks, Vinny. I took the deal. I was there last September and they wanted $56,500 for the car. I rolled the dice and the car was still there today, and I was able to get the car for $9,000 less than the September price. I couldn't resist, and I figured that the opportunity to get a new (albeit 2007) convertible for roughly $16,000 under sticker was not going to happen again. Thanks for making me feel good about my purchase and that I made the right decision. By the way, although we live in Kentucky, the wife is from NYC!

Has anyone else dealt with Lewis Chevrolet?
I see their advertisements in the Houston Newspaper all of the time.
 
Thanks!

Congratulations! I sold my 05 vert with 12k miles for $49k in 06, so you really got a steal! Enjoy your new baby--I miss mine everyday.

Hi Corvette people,,, My experience: I live in MD... used the internet to search hi and low for an excellent car and price ... it took me about a month to zero in on an '06 convertible Blue/Titanium/Storm grey top with 4k miles... price 44.6k ... a program car driven by GM exec... pristine condition, auto, 3LT, Nav, HUD, power top, all original docs and window sticker... My wife and I caught the train to Manhatten early wednesday morning, ate breakfast near Madison Sq Gardens, then a taxi ride into N.J past Giants Stadium... to Bellavia Chevy ... they delivered the goods ... we drove back down the turnpike... excellent experience... this is my 1st vette, an awesome car!!! thanks for reading my post...
