Default Finally Saw One In Person Tonight!

It is awesome....I am in love. Wow pictures just don't do this car justice. I went to pay for mine tonight (museum delivery 10/1) and my dealer got one in today. I realized that I would have had mine tonight if I would have taken dealer delivery, but a weeks wait is worth museum delivery. The guy that ordered this one backed out and several people were trying to buy it and were not able to get the financing. My understanding is it is currently available at Lone Star Chevrolet in Jersey Village Texas. I am pinching myself, I can't believe I now own one of these amazing cars. Now if next Tuesday can just get here...

Can't believe someone would back out on that. Hope everything's okay in their life.

There's a Hendrick dealer on my way to work. They are the top Vette dealer in KC, I've found myself slowing down traffic a little when I go by as I keep trying to see if they have one yet. Oh well, if someone rear ends me, my first word is going to be "whiplash!"

Wow, Every time I see white I like it more and more!
Sucks that the guy backed out and potential buyers couldn't get financing but if you get turned down for financing you usually can't afford the car to begin with!

It is not listed at their website. It lists only 1 new Corvette in stock, a 2013 GS, at $7,000 under MSRP.

I was actually half joking, but I didn't see a 'smiley' for that.

Nah, they are selling it for MSRP - We don't play that crap in Texas lol

From what I was told...

The car was ordered on 01-13-13, The reveal was at 7pm CST, Dude was in there at 7:30pm. The car got here and at the last second, He backed out - Changed his mind and ordered an Automatic.

2 weeks ago a dude that worked near by placed an order for a White base model, They asked him to come look at THIS white one since dude backed out - He liked what he saw and came back with 20k down.......couldn't get financed for the rest.

After dude left, A random 25 year old Firefighter was there - Fell in love with the car and offered up his Camaro SS for trade.....he couldn't get financing either.

If it was Night Race Blue I woulda bought it - That car has every option and trim I want just all the wrong colors lol

That's my favorite color combo, assuming it has the red interior. I'm in love!

That thing will be sold tomorrow.
