Could I order a 2013 GS coupe with the options I want at the end of January 2013?

Bill Dearborn

Read the last line in his sequence. Last dealer orders accepted early September of 12. Production will be ending somewhere in the Jan/early Feb time period based on what he posted. After that is all C7s once they start to build.

Thanks Ken.

Ken, Please clarify the last two lines. Are you saying that ALL dealer order submissions end Sept 4th or just for Supersonic Blue?
i.e. If I wanted to order a C6 in Cyber Grey in October I'm outta luck?

Wow the 60th Vert is a beauty and I can see why it is on constraint

mpuzach

It's the 427 vert that's on constraint, with or without the 60th Anniversary package.

Thanks for the info Ken!

So if you ordered by the deadline Sept 4 it could possibly take 4 months
to complete?
Or all orders over the next 41/2 weeks will take 4 months of production to complete.

They should have been making the 427 vert for the last couple of years!

So much for my dream of ordering a SSB 427. Grrrr.

Mike, there are (as of this morning), 21 day or 3 whole weeks until the end of August!!! I mean, come on man: 3 weeks to collect, find, look between the couch cushions for ..... what? $80,000.00?

How difficult can that be?

Or you can always get one that someone's sat their fat A$$ into for 2K miles......j/k. Prolly a skinny A##.

can't count: 20 days, 1 shy of 3 weeks.

mpuzach

Thanks, Bill. You've given me a renewed sense of optimism!

makes ya wonder...427 vert so popular why send out the C7's

billiam01

+1 I say put off the C7 for a few more months!

CaryBob

My guess is not that it's poplar but that it is more popular than expected. That might mean a something like a couple thousand altogether.
