Default How to Build Your Own 2008 Corvette on GMBuyPower

For some reason, you still cannot select the 2008 Corvette to "Build Your Own" on gmbuypower.com. However, there is a way to do it. Select 2007, Chevrolet, Corvette (Coupe, Convertible or Z06) and click the Build button. When the Select Style page appears, go to the address bar and find the &year=2007. Change it to &year=2008, hit enter. Presto, you are now looking at 2008 options, colors, prices, etc.

Good info., John. If I were you, I'd save a link to this page, because it'll probably be a hit for the next several weeks.

Jim, knowing how organized you are, I bet you have already saved it yourself.

I have been needing this. Just hope it is accurate info. The other Chevy build site works, but some of the details are kinda hosed-up.

Thanks for that...

HELPFUL HINT:

Start at www.gmsupplierdiscount.com instead of gmbuypower.com and you can get the supplier prices too.

get to the page where you choose 1LT, 2LT, or 3LT. Then go to the address bar, where the http:// address is and find the number 2007 and switch to 2008 and hit enter..

Zymurgy you are a genius!
With your guidance was finally able to confirm that the GM supplier price obtained last week from my local dealer was correct.
Thanks,
