Thanks, we still have it in California. Car emission nameplate must state compliance to federal and California emission.

Chad,

Remember I posted it in the c6 sale forum. I ended up selling it to a friend for the same price the dealer was gonna give me for it. Why let the dealer have it @ wholesale when my buddy gave it a good home at wholesale dollars, and the difference in sales tax. A good deal for all! Just waiting on the Vert. Should be on a truck by Wed. or Thurs.

Steve

Kerbeck got their first one a few weeks ago. Dave even posted pics of it.

I know, I've seen it. That kinda was my point until someone pointed out that Hare Chevy, in Indiana is quite large. Notwithstanding the fact that Hare is large the question still remains.."Why doesn't GM fill their customer's orders before building and shipping cars for the general public to walk in and buy, when guys have been waiting for months?"

There doesn't seem to be any method to their madness.

To GM the dealers are their customers. That's who the deal daily. So they are just trying to keep their largest customers happy.

Are we sure that this convertible you're getting from Hare is one they ordered or is it one like some of the other dealers got were GM called asked if they wanted this extra allocation. If it is one of the extras those are some of the many production verification unites that were built.

David (Sales Manager) at Hare stated to me that they didn't order your silver Vert, it was just an extra car that they sent his dealership, and your right why don't they build ordered cars first!!
