Default Frustrated

New Member here. I currently own a supercharged 2011 Camaro that is for sale. I'm having a very hard time finding the Corvette I want? Went to My Dealer and He said He can't even order one? So how do I find what I want, or they all gone? I hate to wait until the Z06 comes out because it sounds like it will be out of My price range and most already have waitng lines? I forgot to mention that I am located in Missouri Thanks

I'm looking for 1st choice:
Torch Red with Black or Red/Black interior
7 Speed Manual
Z51 Performance Package
Magnetic Ride Control
Performance Exhaust
Red Painted Calipers
Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
Carbon Fiber Hood Stripe
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
GT seats
Black Wheels

My 2nd Choice:
Laguna Blue with Black interior
7 Speed Manual
Z51 Performance Package
Magnetic Ride Control
Performance Exhaust
GT seats
Chrome Wheels

Try looking at Forum dealers. There is one in Missouri, Reliable Chevrolet in Springfield. You could have a forum dealer arrange a courtesy delivery or buy out of state and have commercial transport to you. And of course, fly to dealer location and drive it home.

As for Carbon Fiber hood stripe and Carbon Fiber spoiler, the factory stuff only comes in carbon flash metallic. Of course the after market will supply some of those wants.

Call Rick Conti at Coughlin Chevrolet in Columbus (Pataskala) Ohio. A friend ordered two Z51's from Rick four weeks ago and both are already sitting in his garage.

I wish I could just order one sight unseen, but like I said I'm either going to have to sell My current Camaro out right first or see what I can get for a trade in. That makes it real hard for out of state?

Got to trade or sell this:

Doesn't have to be, if you can find an honest dealer that you can agree on ballpark price with and are willing to drive/ship the trade-in. The average local chevy dealer is simply not set up to sell Corvettes and likely has little to zero allocation.

Try Tommy Jr. at MacMulkin. He might be interested in that car.
