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 |

I have inquired about a 2006 coupe with 6 speed 3LT, chrome wheels,On-star,& NAV with a list of $53,875. The local dealer is offering it for $49990 (3885 off)which seems to be a good offer for a local car.(no transport costs from NJ or Ohio). Invoice would be $47,693 and dealer holdback is $1311. Anyone have any experience pushing a little harder on a deal like this? I have seen mention of $4500 off and I know Kerbeck has that advertised but I'm sure local dealers differ. Thanks!

Ernie von Schledorn Chevrolet Sort of gives you a market vs demand reading in that area of the US. You can always fly in and drive a new C6 home. The GM warranty rides with you. |

I ordered my '06 Convertible on May 2, 2006 and took delivery on May 31st, 2006. The build date(week) was May 22, 2006. I have owned 18 new and used Corvettes and this is the best one of all. Before ordering, I had never driven a C6. I have never been in a Vette that is as comfortable, quiet, and so much fun. I'm impressed anew with every drive. I ordered a 3LT, Z51, 6sp. and paid $50,780(MSRP $57,280). The '07 new pricing would have the MSRP at $60,090 for the same package-however,power roof is included with the 3LT in '07. My wife doesn't like 6sp. cars(can't drive and doesn't like the shifting motion) and so I've always been the only driver(usually alone). Cars are utilitarian to her, BUT she loves this Vette. Almost daily, she shares how pretty this one is. It's Victory Red with Cashmere Interior. What makes this so interesting is that all but one of my Vettes has been Red/Ebony and she's never made a comment on their beauty before this one. At least to this point, I have not experienced any problems with shifting, brake or tire noise or even much cabin noise. My last Vette was a Z06 and it was dificult to have a peaceful, umwinding drive, because the road noise screamed in your ears. I'm still "breaking it in" so I'm not driving hard, but it does not seem to have the performance of the old Z06. I wish I would have ordered the power top.( Before ordering, I talked to six current owners that have had problems with their power tops and each one said they wished they had ordered manual tops. They got stuck in mid operation and they could not get them to go up or down. They continually had to use the cabling in the trunk and all were livid). Is the C6 Z51 package the same as the standard suspension on the old Z06's? Does anyone have experience with a supercharger on a C6? |

Replying to: jmess (Jun 14, 2006 10:26 pm) Just an awesome car. 500 miles can't come soon enough, 55mph is just tough to do all the time. But I'm curious as to why its a speed number for break-in and not also an RPM limit for the engine?? 55 in 5th gear is barely 2000RPM. The dealer had 9 cars last week and is down to 3 this week, maybe less, so they are moving them. Yes they will be last years model in a few weeks but thats okay....we're having fun! |
