I'm not that close to buying, still about 8 months away....They're not starting the garage work in my building until after the winter because they do not want to inconvenience the residents during the winter months......He just ordered 1 so he would be the 1 to ask...Yeah, I could of asked at Kerbeck but really didn't even think about it...There's plenty of time for that..

Rob,
I did not end up ordering from Kerbecks. I used their numbers to negotiate with a local dealer (Binghamton, NY area). In May of this year Kerbecks was doing $3,000 off Z51s w/o 3LT package and $4,000 off 3LTs. Those cars were on the lot. I was very pleased to get a local dealer to discount $4,000 off an order for an 07 (with 3LT). I did a lot of research and found Kerbecks and Maxies to have the best prices online. Since I bought mine it appears that Fitchners (sp?) will also deal seriously. In my opinion the best case scenario was to get a local dealer to match their discounts. Luckily I found one that did.
Good luck when you do order!
Extended warranty: I contacted Fitchner after input in this forum and found their prices to be great! I will buy it just before 12 months are up since the extended warranty is discounted in the first year of ownership of a new car but starts running months and mileage wise when you buy the extended warranty.
This forum has been great!
Ray, congrats on the new car order! You will love it! The colors will look great!
The complements that I get on the car are daily. The neighborhood kids are in love with it (and so am I)!
Brian
PS. Now 1,150 miles on it.

Thanks for the info.....When I know my garage is near completion i'll go too all my local dealers & see what they can do(NY, outside NYC) on pricing........I'm spending 50,000, will definitely try & get the best deal possible.....
I went to college at Brockport, passed by Binghamton many times.......Do not think your vette will see the sunshine once December rolls around........
Take it easy

I have been told that GM pricing on Vettes is hard to come by but depends on the dealership. Does anybody if it is possible?

Do a Google search. Go to Google then advanced. On exact phrase type in Corvette Forums
One of the first (not the first) choices that you will have should have sub-choices, one of which is C6. Choose this choice. At this site you will find tabs to purchase a Corvette. You can find some great prices. If area dealers won't come close to matching them then Museum delivery, pick up at the dealer, or courtesy delivery are all options. (I have previously posted the other forum site but it my post was deleted by Edmunds. I was informed that this violated the rules of the forum.) You should be able to find it easily with a google search.
Good luck!

Brian

Consumer Reports Tests by fotorich

Hi guys its fotorich. I had the heat from the vents problem with my 51 packaged c-6 standard trans convertible. While I was forced to sell my c-6 because GM refused to fix the problem, I sure wouldn’t believe or go by anything Consumer Reports had to say.
 
Several years ago Dr. Bose, of Bose speakers, confronted Consumer Reports about a lousy review received by one line of his home speakers. He had a meeting with editors and was ridiculed and lambasted because he wanted to know their testing procedures. They refused to divulge any information about the tests and went into a personal attack on him. He sued Consumer Reports. In open court Consumer Reports actually admitted they do not do any testing. But hired “experts” to evaluate the products that were being scrutinized. As an example, they would contact a writer and hire him at $500 to do a report on four different manufacturers of speakers in the range of $800 to $900 each. Now do you think this writer was going to spend $3600 minimum to test speakers while receiving only $500. Yeah right. The writers report on the speakers was published with the stats taken right off the free brochures and not measured by him. Obviously this occurred with all their so called tested items including car tests. Believe it or not Consumer reports won the case. They argued that reports printed in their magazine constituted editorial opinion and was a right under the first amendment. They even had several well known car magazines editors say they would have to shut their doors if Dr. Bose won. Sorry guys but the emperor really doesn’t have any clothes.
