I ordered an 07 Coupe a couple of weeks ago with Museum delivery option. I was just given a build date of the week of 8/7/07. I am wondering if anyone has experience with how long after the build date it will be before I can pick the car at the museum. Thanks for your input and I can't wait to get the car! Any other input on the museum delivery experience is welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Derek

Put a deposit on an '07 Z06, $7k markup, delivery before the end of the year, probably Oct.-Nov.  |

hello all! i really like to vett. this year. Right now dealers around my area offer 5k off. This is a good deal. I am a little bit concern about the gas mileage. All the guys out there please share your average mile/gal. on this baby. Is it really live up to what GM advertise - 28 mi/gal. If it is true then this baby is more efficient than the G35 or even S2000.  Thanks

I drove back to the SF bay area from Fernley NV and with the down hill and taking it real easy (nothing over 80) I got back with the car computer saying I'd gotten 30.1 mpg. It was about 29+ when I filled up. Now, that compares to the 7 to 8 miles per gallon I get on the track at mostly wide open throttle.YMMV BTW, G35 coupes can be set up nice for the track as well, I've see several, but it's not a Corvette! |

I've been searching for a dealer in the SF bay area to give me a deal on a pre-ordered '07. I searched high and low and had given up / was about to order one from the high volume dealers in the Northeast and Midwest. They were offering $3500 off a standard coupe -- no hagling. I tried to haggle -- nope, no haggling. Its $3500 off and that's it. However, I received a call from a dealer in SF, Ellis Brooks, and they offered $2000 off an '07 and they had an allocation left. That was the first dealer in the area that was in the price ball park. I had called probably over 20 dealers and spoken at some length with 5+ dealers. Among them was Courtesy in Cupertino/San Jose. They seemed unwilling to go below MSRP. So I jumped on the offer from Ellis. I decided to avoid the shipping and courtesy delivery charges of buying from a dealer in another state. I'm now expecting my car in 2 months. Yellow, ebony interior, Z51, 2LT. I'll be a first time Corvette and Chevy owner. Drove an M3 before.

btw., unless you're buying with a primary purpose of reselling, you should pick the color you like. I've read and heard that yellow isn't the most popular color, but I'm going with yellow because that's the color I've always loved in sports cars. Yellow is garish for some, but its beautiful to me. Besides, Ferraris, Lambos are often yellow.  If you're really prioritizing the resell, then I'd bet black inside and out is the easiest to resell. Personally, I find black and silver ordinary (my neighbor's toyota minivan is black). But its all about personal choice. |
