Default z51 package

Here is my problem. Im almost ready to order but my local vette dealer is only allocated non z51 packages for now. I actually want to order and get the r8c option and go through the national corvette museum for delivery. What do I do. If I purchase from Out of state, will local dealer service if needed?? or do i talk with local dealer??

yes dealer will service car. You can wait on your dealer to get a z51 allocation or you can seek out a dealer with an allocation.

Dealer would love to service your car — many dealerships make more money in their service department than in new-car sales.

I always like to buy from my local dealer if at all possible. I have used the Internet prices for bargaining in the past. However, now, most C7 Corvettes are bringing MSRP. The choice is yours. If you buy elsewhere most dealers will still service your car. The immediate problem is the Z51 hold/constraint now. We are led to believe this may be a problem for a while but no one really knows for sure. The Museum Delivery Option is very good. Where ever you order from should have no bearing on the R8C option. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
