New To Forum -- 2007 Corvette On Order
 

Hello All.

Placed my order September 4th. Dealer had one allocation available which he placed on Thursday the 7th with no constraints. Fortunately I did not order the Polished wheels which I was told would probably be on constraint and were in fact.

Specs:
1YY07 -- Corvette Coupe
Exterior Color: Monterey Red
Trim: Cashmere Leather with Ebony Accents
Package 3LT
Transmission MX0 Automatic.
F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control
QX3 - Wheels Chrome
US9 Sound System

According to the dealer, delivery could be anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks. He indicated that pre-orders tend to go to the "Head of the Line" above orders placed for the showroom floor. I visited Conti's Corvette site and he indicates that orders he placed on 9/7/2006 should be delivered in late September to early October. Sure would be nice to get it in that time-frame.

Any comments relative to recent delivery experiences or general comments regarding delivery would be appreciated.

Ed

RE: New To Forum -- 2007 Corvette On Order
 

By the way Ed, is this going to be your first Vette?

RE: New To Forum -- 2007 Corvette On Order
 

Yes, this will be my first Vette. My son has an 05 and convinced me to purchase a new 07.
Traded in an 03' white 350Z; nice looking car, but not enough wind in its sail's.

Got a TPW of 10/2 and currently at status 3100. The Monterey Red is really a beautiful color.

Truth be told if they offered that color for the Z06 I would have gone with it. Dealer here has one
black Z06 unit on the floor at $77K MSRP with a "Dealer Adjustment" of $20K. He sold one last month
with that markup and says he'll have no trouble moving this one at the same price.

Thanks to all for your comments.

RE: New To Forum -- 2007 Corvette On Order
 

I agree with him about the markup. The dealer my buddy works at has a new z06 marked up to 98 k and has had no trouble moving them in the past around that price.
