today on I-495 in MA i saw a car carrier loaded with 6 or 7 C6s. drool.
if/when i can find a dealer who will let me order/buy a 1SA+F55 model at invoice + $1K or less, then i'll go for it.. i'm not holding my breath. maybe next year? 2007? 2008?

Your best shot for this will probably be in Sept/Oct for an 05 when the 06s start being produced.

Especially at the intro of the '06 at some of the big internet dealers in the east and midwest if they have stock matching what you want. As teh unload inventory they also are getting another slot in the allocation line for the new model year.

My dealer told me he had an open allocation for a C6. He said he ordered it and GM accepted it the next day. Now I am just waiting for him to tell me the build date (He said he was going to tell me yesterday). I asked him "Since GM accepted the order it is getting built right"? He said, Yes. (Seems like that's always the case when talking with Stealerships.) He told me 2-3 weeks until I will see the car. That seems a little short. Just wondering if anyone else here had this same situation with their dealer and what was the end result.

Every Thursday, Chevrolet lets dealerships know what allocation they have and what options are on constraint(Not being built this week). Once the dealer submits the order the following Thursday or Friday the order number will give the TPW(target production week).I believe orders this week have a TPW of 5/23. This means that the car should be built sometime that week. After that allow 2 weeks for it to be delivered to the dealer(Depending on where you live they are built in Bowling Green Ky) I would expect it during the first to second week in June. You are lucky I have a customer who ordered convertible in april of 04 and it was built this week. Enjoy

That is what I thought. It seemed a little unusual that he placed the order on Monday night and GM accepted it Tuseday morning. I hope he is not blowing smoke since this was the General Manager I delt with. I was hoping to get it before May 31 because that is when the Hot Button 1k back ends. Anyone know if any discounts will be offered on the vette after May 31?

i can guarantee that there will not be any rebates but if the dealer has a VIN and the car is built before May 31 but not yet delivered to the dealer, you can do the paperwork have the dealer report it sold and get the hot button rebate. I have done it many times. If the car is not built by then unfortunately you are S.O.L. You just have to spend 50-60k on a car you have yet to see or drive. I wouldn't worry about it but it can be nerveracking.Good Luck. It is one hell of a machine.

Ok, thanks for the info. Is there any other way I can verify that the car has actually been accepted by GM (other than what my dealer tells me). I had him fax me the order form with the vehicle order number and all of the options. Does that mean that GM actually accepted the order or is that just something he printed out before sending it to GM?
