There is a lot of other ways to make money. You're just screwing some other customer out of a spot that may really want the car to enjoy. I wouldn't help with this "dilemma".

For resale--1LT. NPP exhaust. Red calipers. Hypersonic Gray with red interior. Keep in mind that flipping a C-8 might not be that profitable. Many cars are setting at 10K over MSRP.. By the time you pay taxes and registration fees you might have more of a headache than it's worth.

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No one you see, is smarter than he........
For you young beans, these are lyrics from the theme song to the TV series "Flipper", about a dolphin who buys and sells Corvettes.

Also, name another way to make an instant $20K off of what's typically a liability in a normal world?

No he's not lol. It's his order. he waited like everyone else. it's business what he does with the car. Welcome to capitalism 101. The US economy is literally predicated on people paying a markup for goods and services.

It's tacky as hell to come onto an enthusiast forum where people have been waiting months, some years, and ask advice on flipping for a profit.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he's doing. People sure do hate capitalism some times. Sometimes it sucks, but I'd rather this than some government or other entity dictating how individuals conduct private commerce.

2022 Allocation
Thanks for your differing opinions and comments. I’m unsure if selling it is wrong as I paid out a down payment a while ago and anyone else could have made the same choice. Probably not making a deposit was not a good thing to do if you wanted a corvette. I was unsure so I paid the deposit. Sometimes within the long waiting period life changes as well as interests. This I’m afraid could happen to anyone.
Buying a corvette is a luxury not a necessity. I do not know anyone who’d give me money if I was unable to buy one because they felt sorry for me. So paying the deposit and the taking your place in line thing are the price of entry.
So if you are angry it should be at yourself and it’s what you should have done. You had an equal chance.
Last I heard in America it’s a capitalist economy ( may have to check). Lives change and the money is looking good but not a necessity. Not looking for a bidding war either just opinions on if I can should I go for it! I respect all opinions and it’s nice to hear from all of you.
