Default Pen refill?

Where can I get a refill cartridge for the pen that came in the owner's manual?

I would remove the offending cartridge and haul it to Staples or Office Depot and purchase one that looks exactly like it.

No I didn't.

I'm going back to the dealership right now and demand my pen and flashlight, or else I'm returning the vette to them if they don't comply!

Me too ! I haven't used the pen or pad and took the battery out of the flashlight so it wouldn't leak and ruin it !
Probably those that don't have these possibly bought car used and previous owner kept them.

This is clearly a case of "You get what you pay for." Probably in the "haggling" process the Sales Dept. was forced to remove items from the car to meet the agreed price and in the process they credited you the value of the Pen,Corvette Pad, Official Corvette Flashlight and God knows what else! Your car is worth nothing to Barret-Jackson now, And is not a "numbers matching" car!

I'm ok with not getting any of that other stuff as long as they didn't take out the spare tire.

Huh, they took out the spare tire too! Damn!

In '03 I went to the Chevy Dealer and bought the Corvette Pen, Corvette Flashlight, Corvette Video, and the Corvette CD all for approx 43,000.00 and got a Free C5 Corvette!

Its a good idea to take the battery out of the flashlight, but make sure you rubberband the battery around the case. Otherwise you will need a flashlight to find your flashlight.
