VOMS(Vehicle Order Management) is offline for the night. Tomorrow morning I will check the order for you. It will tell me everything about the car color, package, options and the TPW. Hopfully I will have some good news for you. Check back tomorrow.

Great, thanks Mike!
#25 of 427 Your dealer should be able to show you a print out by starrow68 Apr 29, 2005 (8:44 am)
with a status code on the order. I don't know them off the top of my head but they should have something that will define what the code is at each step of the process. If they won't show you the printout ... I'd be more suspect. Randy
#26 of 427 Got a good deal this weekend by jmess May 01, 2005 (10:22 pm)
Scored a Silver/Ebony from a dealer this weekend. The config is automatic, 1SB interior, Magnetic Select Ride, dual tops, 3.15 performance rearend, and Nav. MSRP=$53960. Got the car for $49K+$265 for title, docs fee, and 4 years vehicle license (no sales tax in OR); price was also after the hotspot rebate. So the combination of the hotspot rebate, it being the end of the month, and the car having been on the lot for about 60 days motivated the dealer to give me a good price.   I had one on order with another dealer but they never got an allocation. While I was waiting I continued to shop the internet and use GM Buying Power to see what was available in my area. If you know what the current VIN coming off the line is you can calculate about how many days a car has been on a dealer's lot by looking at the VIN number and figuring they build about a 3000 a month. The longer a car has been on the lot the more motivated the dealer will be to move it out.   After two months of fishing I landed this one.
#27 of 427 Congrats on the new ride ... by starrow68 May 02, 2005 (7:50 am)
Great deal as well! I talked to several last night at a Corvette Club meeting and a couple new C6 owners found what they wanted with one trying the internet but not getting the color he craved (built out and color change over) and ended up finding one local. The other ordered off the internet and go a couple $K lower price but had to wait for delivery. Both very happy as well. Hope they switch to a lighter blue from the LeMans for the '06 model year, that just might do the trick for me. Randy   BTW, are you near Portland International Raceway, hear good things about PIR and I'm betting that they offer performance driving classes just like at Sears Point here, very instructive!

Replying to: starrow68 (May 02, 2005 7:50 am) Thanks, I had originally been set on white because I have two silver cars already; now I have three    I know PIR well. I was lucky enough to be able to race ICSCC and SCCA in the NorthWest for 12 years before I retired from racing. Even made it down to Laguna, Sears, and Thunderhill. I plan on doing a track day in the C6 at some point this summer just to get a feel for what it will do. I also plan on checking out the local Corvette Club in Portland.   This is my first major street car and I sort of feel like I am rolling around in a piece of art work. Really a nice machine.

Replying to: starrow68 (May 02, 2005 7:50 am) There is no chance that GM will get rid of their "Ferrari Blue" (Le Mans), it was their hottest new color. The "electron blue" in past years drove many people away (from blue). I have a Le Mans Coupe w/ cashmere on order (TPW 5/16). Main reason you don't see to many blue ones is b/c of the extra cost paint and they are hard to keep clean, but when they are clean they are AMAZING (as most vetts are). I too, had orders with other dealers, but they never got the allocations. I got lucky on this one, the dealer already had one in the system and he changed the specs to the one I wanted. Martin Chevy in New Carlisle Ohio, good people to work with. Replies to this message: jmess (May 03, 2005 7:03 pm) starrow68 (May 04, 2005 10:43 am)

Replying to: rfisher (May 03, 2005 4:03 pm) I saw and LMB in the flesh for the first time last night and it is a great color. Each color seems to have it's own presence. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them.
