How is it that you are able to receive GM employee discount? I wouldn't blame GM for denying this type of pricing early on in the production cycle.
I used to work for GM and although employee pricing was available across all models, there were time when particular vehicles were non applicable at the time since it was either too new or limited in production.
Be patient, if you are really determined to own a Stingray purchased @ employee pricing, the time will come soon enough

First off you didn't "buy" anything. And no, it seems no one else is in this "sit" .

I toured the plant yesterday and met a GM Retired (37 years of service) and his car was being built this week. No discounts but he was happy to get one at MSRP!

In 2000 my dealer worked with me to sell my trade Corvette on consignment and then priced the 2000 at a considerable discount. This time, dealers are pretty much all holding the line at MSRP. I'm retired and don't get the supplier discount but have a GM employee in the family. MSRP works for me this time.

Well technically he did, his deposit is non refundable meaning in every sense of the word the car that he put a deposit on is his, no one can take it away from him without legal ramifications. Just as he can't cancel the deal without losing his deposit, GM can't reneg on any terms that were set at time of deposit. As far as the offer expiring, unless it was somehow made clear that there wasn't an expiry date OP is hooped.

Even then forum dealers weren't keeping deposits from people that didn't decide to purchase the Vette when it came in.
If the dealer wanted a non refundable deposit on a car I hadn't seen I would go elsewhere.

The gist of his gripe however is GM honoring his discount and as I stated before, unless he has it in writing somewhere that there is no expiry date he unfortunately doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Now this is pure speculation on my part but I'm guessing that he put a deposit down on one to be custom built, that chances of there being any spots available in August are slim to none and opening up, who knows how long that could take.......I could be way off in left field though.

Not GM's fault.

There is probably a very good chance I could get one at invoice. My brother has a very customer of his that he helps out that owns 2 Chevy Dealerships and the owner would do him a favor if asked. When I was going to buy my 08 and order from him it was at invoice. However, I came across an incredible deal on my car that I bought from CarMax.
I haven't bothered asking since I am waiting to see if the 2015 Vert will have an A8 or not.

What documentation do you have of this agreement? We need all the details. Post a copy of any signed agreement that you have.
The fact of the matter is that GM is not accepting GM Employee Pricing or GM Supplier Pricing on 2014 Corvettes.

Things happen, deals change, deposits are refundable. End of story...OP needs to continue he search or wait it out until dealer lots are filled with Stingrays.
