Default Hurricane Harvey

I was fortunate in many ways relative to the hurricane in that we all got out safely however amongst the damage we did have my C7 was flooded and is a total loss. I had ordered and taken delivery at the museum, a trip my Dad took with me, and am considering doing the same again. What is the best discount to MSRP people are seeing on orders and who is best to order through these days? Mine was ordered through Fitchner and I have reached out to him where he is now.

Check the forum dealers, Mike Furman and a few other ones, Ric Conti, etc. They have the largest selections and know how to sell across the country. I've never used them personally, but I have heard good things.

Another one is Campbell Chevrolet, in Bowling Green. Reach out to Chuck there. He specs and orders all the Vettes for the museum raffles (that's how I got mine) and works very closely with the museum.

So sorry to hear that! What part of town do you live in? I'm in League City, we got 54" of rain but luckily I just barley dodged a bullet. Water came about half way up my drive way, talk about a gut wrenching 72 hours.

*EDIT*
just saw you're in Katy. I've got several friends out there, the west side can't catch a brake even a week after all of this.

At this time the production line is shut down. If you want a C7 now, you will have to purchase dealer inventory. I would find a car that I like, purchase this car and trade it when the line is running again.
