Default Deposit down, now waiting game

I have finally made the decision to get my first Vet! Put the deposit down last night for a Z06 3LZ WGG Black interior. Waited years and years for this.


This wait is going to be absolutely terrible. So what can I expect 2-3 months?

Congrats.


It all depends.


Does the dealer have allocation? When do they anticipate the order will be picked up by GM. You might get it in 5 week and it might take 12 weeks. All depends on how soon they can get the order accepted and where do you live relative to the factory.

Also where you live matters as well, if your on the west side of the country add a month for shipping.

Sounds familiar, enjoy the whole experience! You'll have it soon with the factory shutting down June 2nd.

Thanks for the response. I am brand new to this, so I will ask the dealer. The most they gave me was after we placed the order, said I should hear from them within a few days.

I placed my order on March 2nd and my car is being built next week. Dealer told me I should have it mid-April(I only live about 225 miles from Bowling Green which helps) so that would be about a 6-7 week turnaround.

I am with you.

Ordered from a forum dealer last Wednesday. Yesterday I was notified that the order was accepted by production, code 3000.

Ordered 3LZ Convertible, WGG, with black/dark gray interior.

I was told typically it is a 7 week delivery.

I ordered mine Feb. 8th and the dealer called 2 days ago and said It will be here for P/U Monday. And I'm in Vegas. So it was fast but still felt like for ever. Doubt I sleep any Sunday night...

Congrats!!

You're going to love it!!
Very similar build to mine. Only difference is I have Blue Interior.

Orderred in Nov. Delivered in March.

But I live in Canada, and GM doesn't deliver Corvettes in the winter.

I think you're looking at 6-8 weeks.
