Default Thanks for saving me money

I'm saving a lot of money because even the big dealers don't have what I want on the lot. I hate ordering cars, love picking up off the lot.
Guess Z51 3LT coupes are rare, not on the lot.

dealers order what sells fast, and that's a low/mid 60K car, not a car over 70K.....

Yup, my local dealer has 4 in stock and the CHEAPEST one is $66K and that was a car built before the $2K increase.

And yet there they sit for months.

Probably has a 7-10k market adjustment on it. Could be wrong.

Seems all the inventory at local dealerships in Vegas are 3LT Z51 automatics.

Thank you all for excellent, thoughtful feedback; except adolescent Jake, as usual. We'll pick up our C8 at Gill next summer or fall and just enjoy it.

I would pull the plug. Not worth the worry. If you have a vette, use it and love it or go to a C7. JMO

Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time ordering the all new 2014 Chevy Volt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was in same boat, massive interest last year as a neophyte to Corvette. Slowly been loosing interest and actually called and left a message to cancel my order. Told them to just let me know how to process the refund and I went about my day. two months later (now) I got the call that said my number was up and I needed to confirm my config so come on down.At first I thought it was a joke and asked my cancellation (and yes I had forgot about my refund). They said never got it but if I want to cancel they have a bunch of people to take my spot. I debated about 3 hours and decided to pull the trigger. I'm starting to get excited again :-)
