Yep, now the hardest part ... Waiting ... and it honestly feels like time is slowing down as I have been waiting.

I can't wait till I get the check my order status daily. I am sure the customer service people will probably hate me.

But, it should all be worth it when I head up to BG to pick it up at the Museum. I can't wait to come back home via the Tail of the Dragon.


Cheers,
Rich

Good news, for it is increasingly looking as if that 2015 price increase on StingRays will be modest. Thanks "Torque News," for this specific post:

"Around that same time (July), we should get a full spread of pricing for the 2015 model year Corvette which - according to Chevrolet spokesperson Monte Doran – won’t change all that much for the 2015 models. The base price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray fastback is $53,995 and that includes the $995 destination fee. We would expect that there will be at least some price hike for the new 8-speed automatic transmission, but with few other changes to the base Stingray, the price of those 2015 Corvettes with the 7-speed manual could remain very near the price of the 2014 models. Keep in mind, almost all of the new features for the 2015 Corvette are optional items from the appearance packages to the new 8-speed automatic transmission, so the base price may not change much at all for the new model year."

Torque News' comment about 2015 pricing not changing much is being echoed by other car industry analysts. And, if confirmed in July, would be a lot better news than some folks talking about a $2,500, to as much as $4,000 price increase for the 2015 StingRay

I didn't ask. I just told him that I wanted a 2LT convertible and my only worries were that I wanted Z51 and the carbon dash. He said to expect October delivery since Z51 orders were backlogged and would bleed from 2014 to 2015. I'd love to go 3LT but I think the colored piece on the dash in front of the passenger seat looks a little odd unless you get the Kalahari or brownstone which might look nice depending on the body color. So many decisions to make.

I'm hoping things ease up with ZF1 and folks being able to get the Z51 look without the rest of the Z51 parts.

I am using Auto Nation in Greenacres (the place to be), They are charging me $300. I spoke with Rick Gold who handles the courtesy deliveries there.

Nice price on the courtesy delivery. The dealers around here want $650.

Hi all - I'm curious about the ordering process for a 2015 Corvette. I've spoken to a couple of local dealerships, asking if they would honor the USAA pricing through their car buying car buying service, and received mostly non-answers. I know the C7 is popular, but are there any dealerships out there that will cut a deal below MSRP? Or is MSRP the best I can expect right now?

I'm in the market for a 2015 and would like to spec and place an order once the full configuration guide is out (as I want to see pictures of some of the new options).

Help appreciated!

This is great news! Kevin spoke of using a dealership in Boca frequently but the Lake Worth option sounds like a great alternative. Seeing as we live .5 miles from each other, a c7 cruise is definitely essential!

Les Stanford is currently accepting discounts off of MSRP pricing on 2015's. Only problem is we have no idea what the MSRP will be and won't know for a least a month.

Are you with Les Stanford? I understand that I'll have to play the waiting game to get the Corvette built the way I'd like, but I've got no issue with that. Just curious about who I might need to talk to there to negotiate the price and jump-start the process.

Who is your salesman at LS?.
I originally was going to go with AutoNation also, until a conversation with my sales person at LS.
I'd suggest you at least have a conversation with Dennis at LS about this, you maybe surprise at what you will hear.
Good luck.
