Default Hi From Austin Texas

Hello from Austin. We had a red 2008 C6, looking to get a 2014 or 15 in the next year (after redoing the driveway to accept a low clearance vehicle.

Hopefully something like this in the driveway in 2015

Hello there Texas neighbor.

Just about an hour North of you. Hope to see a pair of 2014s/2015s in that driveway soon enough.

Did you get a chance to visit the Corvette/Chevy expo in Dallas this weekend?

Welcome to the forum and here's a "congratulations x2" in advance!!

By the way, the local dealers in Austin don't seem real interested in discounting 2015's. Is there a thread or page on this forum on who gives discounts and what is typical?
Thanks.

Welcome from East Texas!

I believe the Young Chevrolet in DFW gives discounts to LSCC members. Not sure what all they could do. I use them for parts. I live 2-2.5 hours east DFW and their service is great. I needed parts and they stayed late, worked with me, and they cut pretty great deals. Anyways, not sure if it would help you or not but figured I would at least mention them.
