Replying to: lemanns06conv (Apr 02, 2006 7:55 pm) I will most likely do the museum delivery, but up here in the northland, our vette driving days are limited to 6-7 months, so if I can find one for a great deal I will pull the trigger on it. Also 07 production begins in July so ordering now, may result in me picking up the last 06. I would appreciate to hear any real build times others have experienced. Dealers promise 6-8 weeks, but who knows. Thanks again -- Corvette is the ONLY true American sports car, and I am anxiously awaiting my C6

In regard to your question about delivery times, it depends on the allocation provided to each dealer. I ordered my 06 on 2/7/06 via the internet with Spitzer Chevrolet (Corvette Conti), car rolled off the line on 3/14, title transferred from dealer to me on 3/29, and picked up at Corvette Museum on 4/5. Cars are held at factory for 2 weeks for a quality hold time. I had to wait a week for a delivery slot. So 5 weeks from order to roll of line and 7 weeks for earliest delivery at Museum. I understand if the car is delivered, they have to wait until the transporter if filled for your dealer area. So this may also be an addition time to wait. However, it seemed like an eternity for me! Mine is a Monterey Red coupe, 6 speed auto, F55 Mag suspension, polished wheels, 3LT, Navigation, On Star. Love it! |

Replying to: motorhead1 (Mar 09, 2006 2:16 pm) I just ordered an 07, 3LT, LeMans Blue ext and cashmere interior. For 07 you can get dual colored interior. For 06 that was only available in the Z06. |

First I want to write that its wonderful to have honest support about Corvettes. I'm already impressed with you Corvette owners and am eager to join the club Second, I'm looking to buy an 07 manual coupe since I can no longer order 06s. I'm leaning towards a stripped down model as I don't feel many of the interior upgrades warrant the extra expense, but... I want to hear from you. Is the Z51 package a good investment for someone who will not be racing his car? My only racing is onto/off freeways and an occasional burst for the thrill of it. I'm leaning towards buying the Z51 as I don't think the ride is too harsh and every review I've seen of the car is with the Z51 package and I'm worried the standard will lose some accelaration. Third, I'm leaning towards 1LT interior, but like the extra air bags and support of the 2LT seats. Is that worth an extra $1k? Fourth, let's talk prices... I'm in the San Francisco bay area. Dealers here will go down to $2k off MSRP quickly on existing 06s. Seems like they'll do the same on upcoming 07s. I've have internet offers at $3500 off an 07 (pre pricing -- pricing is not yet released). I'm waiting to find $4500 to put down money for the pre-order. Thoughts? |

I believe Rick at Les Stanford Chevrolet accepts it... check the corvetteforum and you will find tons of info on GMID discounts.... That 41500 was for an 06 with only auto option.. but as you add in more options you can get even more off MSRP...but I don't like the options being all bundled together....

Replying to: toquinho (Jun 04, 2006 2:27 am) As to other options, I don't think if you get the HUD you will be disappointed, it makes a difference. After 3 days in my car the next thing I drove I was looking for the HUD and bummed that it wasn't there. The sport seats are worth something extra and I don't think you can be too safe so extra air bags would always be worth it. I too am near SF and the local dealers don't seem to do as well as going on the internet. I've gotten both mine and the wife's Corvettes at Fichtner Chevy in Laurel, MT. Even with the cost of the trip I still saved plenty and after getting mine that was one of the factors in my wife wanting one, another trip back through Yellowstone which we did slower and enjoyed more. Good luck! Randy |
