Hello from Thailand
Currently in Phuket, Thailand, but live in Central Ohio. My wife and I have been traveling and diving in South East Asia since May 2016. I've been a gearhead all my life, but have never owned a Corvette. I've been scouring the internet for left-over 2016 cars, but I'm afraid anything I want will be gone by my return in early March. I've been reading this forum quite a bit, and have gathered a lot of info. Wish me luck!

Welcome and good luck with your search. If there are no new 2016s left, consider a 2017 or a gently used 2016. Either way, you'll get a great car.

Thank you for the welcome!
I'm hunting for a Coupe, with MSRC and NPP. 1LT, 2LT, base or Z51. I'd prefer the manual, but could live with the auto. Don't want the PVDR.
I'm looking for a tourer, but the small price increase for the Z51 technologies is attractive. If it's a base, Z51 roll bars will be added front and rear. I think the MSRC with Z51 roll bars gives a lot of flexibility, plus if it comes to it, HPDE would be better served. I'm very interested in the DSC MSRC controller.
If I could find a 1LT Z51 in Long Beach Red with Kalahari or Brownstone interior, without a bunch of costly extras, I'd jump on it, even from here, lol. Of course the only color I don't want is Yellow, so one will surely turn up.
I'm guessing some additional unpublished dealer incentives exist, or will happen soon on the remaining 2016's. I'm eligible for Military and Farm Bureau discounts. Those discounts plus 0% financing are very attractive.
