Default Looking for a particular Z06

I'm curious to know if there is a web sight to locate a certain corvette on a lot with out bugging a dealer to do it for me. I'm looking for a new Z06 in either WGG or Admiral Blue 3LZ with 7 speed. Tons of automatics. Checked cars and auto trader but not much luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Cars.com. You can custom tailor it to the type and color, and listings will come to your email inbox on a regular basis. Car gurus is also good.

Autotrader.com
CarGurus.com
Cars.com (as mentioned)
CarFax.com
TrueCar.com

Dealers know that everyone shops online, they put their cars on one or more of these. All of these usually link the posts to the original dealer's site.

It seems that many dealers didn't order very many 3LZ cars, and especially not 3LZ with 7 speed. Tons of 2LZ automatics are listed.

Cargurus is good. When I was looking for my 17 GS I was looking for a certain color and interior . I went on GM build site built car and then just changed zip code and hop across the country. It took time and it was winter and I was bored but determined to find a car. Which I did one in FLA other in AZ but both didn't have all the optioned I wanted and decided to place order last week I could order a 17 GS. I wanted to take advantage of the bonus tag deals that were going on for dealer in stock cars. I later found out that part of my challenge was there was only 11 made with the color combo and mine was # 11.
It took time but not as much as you would think. Biggest pain was dealers just having red interior instead of Adrenaline Red or Spice Red interior. Easier to just ask a dealer to run search for you. Good luck with your search.

If memory serves me you can call Chevy customer assistance and they can locate a vehicle for you. Or any of the above mentioned sites should work as s well.

I used cars.com. It has a great filter to do this. It’s how I found my WGG M7 Z06 in Illinois. I actually found about 6 that I watched and worked deals on before making my choice.

Did a quick search and there are 7 listed. The blue with black rims is sweet.

Thank you for all the replies. I know these colors are now discontinued so it makes it hard to locate, especially an M7. I may call customer service at GM and see if they might be able to help.

I know you say you want a 3lz but there is a great deal on a 2lz in our classified section. It’s a 17 2lz M7.

I searched your requirements in Autotrader and found a few. In 2016 I found my 2017 Z51 Vert through Autotrader. I was able to narrow down the colors and options on the site and found the perfect car.

The chances of finding the "exact" car you want are probably pretty slim. You can drive yourself crazy searching all over the country, then trying to deal for the car, that can get pretty time consuming, not to mention annoying. Why not just call Mike Furman or one of the big Forum dealers and order the car exactly as you want it? For the big Forum dealers you can probably be driving the car by the spring, mine took less than 8 weeks from the day I put the deposit down until the day it was in my driveway. Just my opinion, but if I'm paying around 6 figures for a "toy", it's going to be exactly what I want, not almost. Either way, good luck in your search.

My advice would be to search 'nationwide'. You may be able to find a car waay far from where you live and have it shipped to you. I purchased my last two cars both nearly 1000 miles away from my home and had them shipped to me. Two different dealers and both times it was a perfect transaction.

I agree. I live in Oregon and got my Z from Illinois. Also trucks from Nebraska and Pennsylvania. It can pay to shop around.
