Default Ordered up!

Ordered up today. Base with 2LT in Blade Silver, Jet Black leather. NPP and a transparent top finished it off. Very similar to the '05 it is replacing, yet so much more car. Dealer telling me that Z51, carbon bits and convertible options are holding things up but mine not having any of those should push thru relatively quickly. Let's hope so...very excited about the new ride!

Ask the dealer for a workbench printout and look for a 2000 code. Until then, you have vapor ware.

After a test drive, ordered from a local dealership who still had 2 allocations. Nice...

Get this ....don't trust his 2 allocation rhetoric: look for 2000 in the red circle

Uh oh...you had me until "local dealership who has..."

How do you know that for a fact?

When did he tell you it's going 2000?

If he can't answer that, get you $$ back and buy from forum dealer who DOES have allocations.
