April 2014: Corvette Sales are alive and well!

by Rob Loszewski, Site Administrator

April 2014 Corvette sales have been released and it appears that C7 Corvette sales are alive and well! As we look at the chart below, it's safe to say that we haven't seen Corvette sales for the month of April this high since April of 2006!

Since January of 2014, we can see Corvette sales have been increasing month-to-month slowly, but steady. Let's hope the trend continues as more and more sports car shoppers realize the incredible value and performance potential of the C7 Corvette.

It's pretty obvious when the stock market crash hit Corvette sales.

No kidding... :ugh

I'm surprised by how well spread out purchases are throughout the year, month by month...

Where are the April 2005 and end of year sales figures? It would be interesting to compare apples to apples.

Lets see the 2005 model year numbers to see how well it's really doing.

 

[Dad]

If we use the numbers we do have the C7 hasn't out sold the C6 yet. Jan. 2006, 2,579 VS Jan. 2014, 2,261 and so it goes..........but April was close. Would still like to see the numbers from the last half of 2013, the C7 had a big number for Oct. that may be hard to beat.

I still expect to see the big play on numbers when GM knows it's falling behind. Sad, they have jacked me around so much on a C7 order I may wait until I can pick up a used one.
