Default Finding the right car

Last night while searching for "the one" I ran across a website that I found extremely helpful. I am looking for a unique set of options in color and/or equipment that I have not been able to find. There is a site (that I can't replicate to make work) where I got to do a live chat with a person who can scan the whole country looking for specific Corvettes. If you go to the C7 section and look up threads from Apr 4th, scroll down until you find "April incentives" by Mrclean1 The entry by USicon references a thread for a Chevrolet site that has the live chat The rep I chatted with found THE ONLY car in the country that met 98% of my needs and wants. No charge, no obligation just good service

Weird;

I was wondering if such a service existed, because I was having a tough time finding mine.

Then I stumbled upon exactly what I was looking for this morning. Hope it's still there when I'm ready to buy!!!

If you're looking for exact equipment, why get 98%, when you can just order one?

Joe, I didn't say I was going to buy it only that they found the only one in the country close to my wants and it's available RIGHT NOW. Two problems, it's 550 miles away and has black wheels ! Besides i "THINK" the $3000 loyalty is only good for April and for use on "instock" cars, not orders.

You just nailed your 2nd obstacle; "too far away:" "550 miles."
Just order one.
