'06/'07 Corvette popular items by texflyer

I'm attempting a decision on an '07 Vette convertible. What are the most popular int./ext. color combinations? Which is the better choice for long term costs, reliability, and enjoyment: mag. ride or the Z51 option? Have dealers started taking orders for the '07 and at what price point(MSRP and down or Invoice plus? Vette will be 6-spd. man. with man. top.

Most popular colors are red, black, and silver. Yellow is most definitely not selling. Metallic orange was a mistake.
 
I went to digitalcorvette.com and looked at dozens of pictures before deciding to order my '07 Z06 in silver (black came in a close second).

The red, black & silver is true but not the whole story. They switched the reds in '05, the last year of full production info, and there are two reds, as I call them fire engine and burgundy. The reds totaled just under 30% with Victory/Precision at about 19% and Mag II/Jewel at 11%. Black came in at 21+% so it is the most popular single color and then Silver at 18+%. The only other double digit % was 10% for Blue, my favorite.
 
But you have to ask if we have a chicken or an egg. I wish I knew what most buyers who order were getting as opposed to what the dealership orders when they don't have a buyer with cash. From the dealers I talk to they order what moves but that is back to ch/egg, does it move because people want it or because it was available on the floor when they walked in? If a dealer has three Vettes on the floor, a lot for most dealers, they are probably red, black and sliver.
 
My wife love her 2004 Mil. Yellow coupe. It was ordered, just like my Electron Blue.

Ordering an '07 Z06 by pony_pirate

Saw an orange Z06 parked in the sun on the street yesterday. Walked over and took a good look at it. Definitely doesn't look anywhere near as good as it does in the ads, kind of dark, not quite right -- imo, they should have made it a few shades lighter, more metallic, so that it glows, captures the light, like it does in the ads, like silver does.
 
Fichner is not taking any more orders. They've taken orders for their allocation, 3 per year, for the next 5 years. They sell at MSRP. No wonder they're sold out.
 
Maxie wants an $8k markup. (I can do better elsewhere.)
 
Haven't heard from Kerbeck. Assume their allocations for '07 Z's is too low for them to sell at or near MSRP, my offer.

So, I guess silver is probably the best choice for ext. color. I had a red/red '62 and am partial to red, but silver was my 2nd choice. What is the popular int. color? Titanium or ebony. I can go either way on this. Lastly, are any of the dealers pricing below MSRP? I haven't tried the waters yet, but will before summer's gone. Thanks....

Color is a matter of personal choice. A color that is hot now won't necessarily be so in 3 or 4 years. Example- Green was a hot color about 8 years ago and now is almost non-existent in new cars.
I ordered a 2007 coupe in Lemans Blue Metalic with cashmere interior. I talked to several dealers in my area. One had already filled their allotment of 3 2007 Vettes over 2 months ago. I ordered one about 6 weeks ago with an expected delivery date in late August. I was somewhat amazed that an area Chevy dealer agreed to $4,000 below MSRP for an 07 3LT. I contacted a number of area dealers via the internet to see who would deal. (I live in the Binghamton, NY area.)
Order the color that you like!
Good luck!

2007 C6 Coupe Order by bruinjohn98

I'm going to order a 2007 C6 Coupe Black/Black Z51, Nav, 3LT, with competition gray wheels. I've called several dealers in the So. Cal. area and everyone is more than willing to sell the vehicle 2K under MSRP without any wheeling and dealing. Couple of high volume dealers so no problem with allocation...how low do you think they'll go? I see that in NY they'll go 4K under...

If you can get a GMID certificate and find a dealer that will accept it you can save 4.5k on a base coupe and prolly close to 5.5k on a vehicle similar to the one you are looking for....
 
Don't forget you can order it from out of state and do a courtesy delivery to a local dealer for a small fee compared to the thousands of dollars you are saving !!!
 
GMID on a 2007 coupe auto with 2LT MSRP was liek 47740....GMID is like 43,153...

Your right on the c6 Vettes.whats happening most dealer ships here in Arizona are buying car from out of state and selling them between 1500 to 2000 off mrsp. but the ZO6 they are adding 12000 to 20,000 over msrp... Just remmber the depresiation on any of these cars the moment you buy these cars
