Replying to: jmess (Sep 13, 2005 8:01 pm) that's right...6 weeks and 2,000 miles later and I haven't even thought about breaking my smile. The looks and attention is awesome and I love the comments that keep coming from everywhere. Only one draw back: Every young kid on the road, whether they are driving a honda, mustang or mercedes wanna race me. While I've been tempted, I'm to old for doing stupid things like that anymore.

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.

#64 of 427 2006 'Vette Order Confirmation? by dkp33 Oct 01, 2005 (11:45 am)
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 Replies to this message: jmess (Oct 02, 2005 7:39 pm) cat3126 (Oct 06, 2005 7:48 am) starrow68 (Oct 06, 2005 8:21 am) jmess (Oct 06, 2005 8:20 pm) vettecrazy (Nov 28, 2005 10:32 am)

Replying to: dkp33 (Oct 01, 2005 11:45 am) The dealer gets a report that shows what allocations they have coming; I think it is over 30 days out. Ask to see the report, they know when they will get a C6 allocation. Every Thursday the dealer gets his assigned/scheduled C6 allocation(s) for the next target production week (approx 4-6 weeks in the future) and the order has to be placed by the following Tuesday or he loses the allocation(s)   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) Can one buy a corvette new with the "GMS" program now? someone in our group mentioned this but my local dealer said that all employee prices for all customers ended on Sept. 30th and "Corvette was never on GMS program!!   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

I just took delivery of my asiatic blue Z06 today. I ordered this car back on July 6. I personally drove to Bowling Green and picked out everything I wanted on it. When I placed the order, they said they were backordered 2 1/2 months. Here it is October and I'm just taking delivery. That aside, I love this car. It's light years ahead of the my '04 Z06. Just sold it for $37,000 with 9100 miles on it( it to was a factory order.) My new Z06 cost me roughly 70k with all the extras. they knocked a few grand off for paying cash. A guy pulled up next to me as I was coming from the dealer in his wimpy 911 Turbo S and decided early not test his luck. I've already got the Borla exhaust( I know it already has a decent exhaust, but it's never enough, right fellas?) and the K+N coming as I type this post. Hypertech says they will have the Programmer 4 ready in about a month. I'm looking to make around 600hp without superchargers and all that crap. I'll keep you posted .

Replying to: zirkle (Sep 05, 2005 8:39 am) Don't you mean 40k more. Yea, because the other 20k will go into servicing that money pit. I should know as I've owned 3. All were great vehicles--- When they ran   Porsche-- almost laughable.
