OP…. I assumed you took a look at the car? Hope so. That’s a lot of red. But it’s stunning. I’ve had 2 cars with the black red combo and it is sweet. 3k discount and maybe avoiding the price increase…..isn’t that a 5 k swing?

I'd be pissed too, and they ought give you something even when the car gets here.
Personally, when mine finally got here, I found it was definitely worth the hassle. Hope you have the same reward here soon.

When I told the sales person, he said “I don’t blame you for rejecting it.”

Sad way to ruin your expected delivery of your car. If you do not like the red interior, then I do not blame you for not wanting to accept it, even with a $3K discount.

The factory does make mistakes. In the early 70s, a friend of mine factory ordered a new Mustang. When the car arrived, something seemed "wrong" with the interior. After a few minutes of head scratching, the problem was obvious. Instead of a horse emblem on the steering wheel, it was a cat (Cougar) emblem. Upon further examination, the problem was not just isolated to the wrong steering wheel. The entire interior of this Mustang was actually a Cougar interior (both cars were built on the same line in those days). My friend really didn't mind and enjoyed the car for a few years before he traded it in. I WISH I had that car today. I just wonder what the value would be...

72 is young. My 96 year old neighbor just gave his grandson his 1967 corvette convertible as his knee replacement made getting in and out a little challenging.
at 72 somehow I would imagine this might not be your last new vette or at least I hope so.
sorry this happened..8 weeks or so and your new car should come in the way you wanted.
Good luck

I get that you are pissed because it's not what you ordered. i would have felt the same way if they screwed up my torch red/adrenaline red interior with a black and red interior.

OP, when my dealer input the order into GM's Workbench, he printed out a copy of the order as entered. We went over it line by line to ensure he had entered everything correctly. Just a thought...

I ordered a Trans Am Firehawk, waited 9 months, and when it came in it was missing a bunch of options I had selected. Found out that the sales manager removed the options as his signature was on the submitted order with the options crossed out.
I'm leaning toward whomever entered the OP's order into the system messed up.
