There were just too many constraints and not enough allocation for the demand up here, so a lot of potential buyers ended up frustrated.
Glad I went with a large forum dealer. My local options would have had small allocations, in addition to less MSRP discounts

Lot's of businesses support the folks that support them with deeper discounts, this is done with allocation!

I'm under the impression that most folks who buy from a local dealer, have a trade and/or want to see what they are buying! Then all the issues about ordering are only the dealers! They have in stock what they have and you could care less how they got it!
I would agree with this. We're not most people though. We're an informed bunch. I'm willing to order and buy from a high volume CF sponsoring Chevy dealership, because you get your Corvette built faster, and it's several thou$and$ of dollar$ LESS! I mean, it's a no-brainer! Even having it shipped from the Northeastern dealers' facility, or picking it up NCM in Bowling Green for $995.00 more, you still come out ahead versus ordering locally at their invoice.
One CF sponsor even gives sight unseen trade-in allowance quotes!
