| Golfing buddy is looking to cut a deal on an '05 coupe. He's thinking of driving from SW OH all the way the Atlantic City (I guess that's where this dealer is) and back. Has anyone bojught from them and are they really that good? Just curious! | |

I only have web feedback and the contacts have been made through a Corvette specific site so can't say for sure how they respond to those over the phone or who drop by. From the http://www.kerbeck.com/ site they have lots of verts but very few coupes left from the '05 production that they are offering big discount on. The Coupe inventory is larger than what they say gets the big discount, so it's all about negotiation. Personally I've loved getting the deal set over the web and then only doing paper work in the dealer showroom, being held hostage when they are trying to squeeze the last nickle is really a pain in my book.

the wife loves it when the young boys are grinning and point out the Vette while getting in or out of the MB or BMW. It's almost like performing a public service and letting kids know there is a 'Dark Side', from the perspective of their parents.  That's where the after market exhaust and x-pipe come in handy.

Zowie--I was just looking at Kerbeck and they had a 2005 Coupe for $39.9K or $5k off a Vert. Wow!! Who says size doesn't matter? lol It does in the car business.

| In August of '05 I gave my local chevrolet dealership a $1000 deposit for a 2006 corvette convertible. At the time, the 06 pricing was not available so a deal was worked for $2500 off whatever MSRP was going to be. I checked in with the dealership a week ago and all they could tell me was that chevrolet had accepted the order and that they could not give me a build date. The dealership guaranteed me that they had allocation and that it would be 8-12 weeks for delivery. My question is what can I do to ensure that I am not getting jerked around? Is there some kind of tracking number or build number that the dealer should be able to give me? I am getting concerned due to '06 convertibles showing up at other dealers although the only '06s that they have received is one coupe and one Zo6 | |

Replying to: dkp33 (Oct 01, 2005 11:45 am) Your order number has a status/event number assigned to it by GM that changes as your order moves through the production process STATUS EVENT CODES 1100-Order placed at dealer 1101-Order accepted by GM 2001-Order generated to dealer 2005-Order replaced with GM Prospec order 2050-Order changed 2500-Order sent to production, preferenced 3000-Order accepted by production control 3100-Order available to sequence (now the tpw becomes more stable) 3300-Order selected for production by assembly plant 3400-Order broadcasted for production 3800-Vehicle produced 4150-Vehicled invoiced to dealer 4200-Vehicle shipped 5000-Vehicle delivered to dealer 6000-Vehicle delivered to customer Note, that 1100 and 1101 just means the order was entered into the system. Any dealer can enter an order even if they will never get an allocation. GM doesn't do anything to stop this practice. As you can see things aren't real until you get to 3000 which means the dealer has an allocation, it was assigned to your order, and the factory has scheduled it to be built. So if your order gets status 3100 on Tuesday if will take 30 days to show up. I went through the order game with a local dealer. They took my order telling me they had an allocation hoping they could pickup an allocation from another dealer or stall me until the end of the year when they might get another allocation. After 60 days of pounding sand I figured out the game. Luckily I was able to find a better deal with another dealer on an in-stock car. |

Replying to: bigmike5 (Sep 21, 2005 9:56 am) Please give me more details. I'm in D.C. area. One other question, how bad is it getting in and out with top up for someone who has serious back problems (and sciatica) and who is about 60 lbs overweight? I'm thinking that the side bolsters will probably be my biggest obstacle? Thanks, Reddog |
