Called two local Chevy dealers today to inquire about ordering a 2014 C7 Corvette

1. We wont' have any C7's but you can buy a new Stingray for 12,000 over sticker!!

2. You can order a 2014 C7 today and take delivery May 31st. I told the salesman I think the first build will be July 1st 2013. He assured me he could have a new 2014 Corvette here for sure by Memorial Day!!!

Did you tell him to eat ****?

Unless this is someone's first Corvette, I don't understand why people don't have an existing relationship with a dealer (whether it's forum or local) to get one without going through all the BS...

I have bought two Corvettes from each dealer but the sales staff changes every six months

#1 Go _____ yourself.

#2 The salesman was trying to order your C6 maybe?!?! Perhaps they were thinking about another car? Perhaps it was the janitor trying to help!

Corvette couple I was having dinner with last night bought a couple of new Chevy vans for their business from a local dealer recently.

The salesman told the couple, who have a 2012 GS, that they (the dealer) have 27 2014 C7's on order and have 12 of them already pre sold to local folks.

Take that bit of news for what it's worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be my first Corvette. I'm gonna have to find a dealership that knows their stuff and won't keep giving me the run-around. My co-worker that recently passed has been getting Vettes all his life, all from Kerbeck. He recommended them strongly.

Reliable Chevrolet? If so, I might actually believe that (at least the pre-sold part).

And dealers wonder why most of us don't believe anything they say. Should tell him to get on the forum so he can get the correct info. Or at least more credible than the info he gives out.

Seems to me the only way any car could be pre-sold is if ALL the money has been collected. Anything less, and it's usually a refundable deposit. And between a deposit and "sold" there are/is a lot of what's called fallout, or someone changing their mind.

Always start with the sales manager!

I bought both of my vettes from Harry at Kerbeck. He has moved on to their Cadillac dealership so work with Dave.

You can get a Corvette here and they not only will make you a good deal but they ship anywhere in the states..Call Mike..

texvette2

Say will come in, sign a paper guarantee that date. If not they
will pay a penalty too you for every day after that till comes in.

Salesmen are morons especially corvette ones. Your still dealing
with chevy mindsets. AND they want the car to be upscale.
Or don't let the brainless kids even talk about a corvette sale.

That's were I'd like to buy my first Corvette from. Only thing that has me hesitant is the distance.

Those of you that buy your vette from a not so local dealership, how to you get your vette home? You get it delivered or you drive the car all the way back? In my case, Kerbeck is about a 2 and a half hour drive from me, about 150 miles if my memory serves. I don't mind driving that distance, but driving back in a brand new Corvette that I don't want to get a scratch or a rock chip on before I even get it home, would be a bit nerve wracking. That and I know highway cruising at a high speed, constant RPM and speed isn't good for a brand new car that hasn't broken in yet.

Thunder22

I'm 2 hours from Kerbeck, I just drove them both home. Whether it's day 1 or day 100 of ownership, you're going to drive on a highway at some point, don't sweat it. When I bought my '04 Z16, it rained the entire drive home, the car survived

tome

Here's a suggestion; order your new Stingray and select the Museum Delivery. What a fantastic way to get an introduction to your new car from the experts and tour the plant where your new car was built. Then you get to experience and familiarize yourself with your new "love" on the drive home. I have picked up my last 5 Corvettes and driven them home to California 2133 miles of enjoyment! These cars are made to drive and don't worry about the break-in, just follow a few simple rules on the way home and your new vet will be just fine. Do a search on here and you'll discover that it is the perfect way to take delivery.

The janitor gets my vote .........

I wouldn't worry about the scratch/rock chip thing . . . you're going to drive it anyway, right?

One of my friends, when he buys a new car a fair distance from his home, always maps out a "road trip" so he hits some good backroads and nice food stops.

I bought my '92 Z07/6-speed from a dealer 3 hours from my home. One of my road trip buddies drove me down there and we caravanned back home. You can vary the speed. Ten miles at 65 in fourth gear, ten miles at 70 in sixth gear, etc.

I bought my '09 Z06 from a dealer 3-1/2 hours from home. Went down with my Tahoe/trailer and hauled it home.

But I like the museum delivery suggestion, buying from one of the loyal forum supporters, the best!
