Wait times @msrp??? Base c8

Hey everyone! So I sold my 21 a few months ago after my divorce and I regret it pretty badly. I've been out of the loop for a minute now. What's the wait time these days at MSRP and who's the best dealership to use? Appreciate the help in advance.

At MSRP , including dealer fees for out of state sales, MacMulkin. Largest Corvette dealer and you will get it quickly. Give them an email for waitlist time.

The dealerships like MM do get a lot of allocations, but with a little patience you'll be able to find a small town dealership that has an allocation with no one to give it to.

What everyone said, shopping around you might find a dealership with an allocation coming up. Also we are starting to see some sitting on the lot depending on how picky you are.

I hope you find one soon. Slim pickings on MRSP dealers in California and especially in Northern California. Sorry to hear about your divorce.

Find a smaller dealer with allocations!

I was quoted 8-12 months with the big dealers… I found a small dealership in Michigan with allocations. Deposit placed mid February and a week later my order was accepted. My build week is 3/27.

I was in same boat. On a list with one of the big dealers and put my name on a small dealers list in Michigan three days before Christmas and got an allocation on 2/17. TPW was 4/3 prior to shut down.

There's 1000s of Corvette dealers out there. Just make the calls and you will find an allocation waiting for you.

As you know an allocation is a point in time.... you just have to luck into one.

All the ones mentioned are excellent choices, but some members have been able to find a small dealership that has an allocation and can get you a car quicker than at some of the bigger dealers. It does take some effort to track them down.
