jeffhardy.com incomplete? 2011?
I have found a few cars not listed on jeffhardy.com when I dig around the chevy site's inventory search, and few listed that are not longer available (by a long time). How current and complete is this site really?
When will 2011's show up there to search, since they are showing up at dealerships?
seriously looking for a 'vette...

I thought the Jeff Hardy web site was pretty accurate, but not so sure now. There is a dealer near Tampa, Stingray Chevrolet, that according to their web site has 44 2010 Vettes in stock, none of which are listed on Jeff's web site. How many more unaccounted for dealers there are is anyone's guess. Nevertheless, his web site represents a good starting point to search inventory.

I noticed the same deal when I was looking at in stock C6s last year. Something must be different with Stingray?

To the best of my knowledge Jeff Hardy is not a commercial site. Simply someone that wanted to do this. It has a wealth of information, and although it may not be perfect, it is an outstanding resource. My .02

I found my car using his site and sent him a small donation in appreciation. I found his site much faster than the painful process of the GM searches. The cars I found on his site that I was interested in were available.
I bought a 2009 in April 2010 and took delivery in May 2010 from a dealer in Indianapolis. I live in Missouri.
If you are looking for 2011, save yourself some time and money. Just go to one of the Forum sponsors and let them get the car for you.
The GM information may not be completely up to date either. I have found that dealers sometimes leave cars listed after they are sold, especially if it is a car that draws attention. This was rampant a few months ago when I was trying to find a Camaro SS2 that met my requirements.

Jeff Hardy's site, http://jeffhardy.com/lookupvette.php , is much eaiser to use than any G.M. consumer search site, as a matter of fact, Jeff's site is much better than what's available to sales managers at the dealerships that are trying to locate a certain car for a buyer. G.M. would be well served by hiring Jeff to set up consumer search sites for all of their models. G.M.'s consumer sites are slow, cumbersome, pains in the (_!_) to use.
Jeffs been ill for months, and has been unable to work, or set up the 2011 search site as of yet. Everybody here on the Corvette Forum is pulling for him here in this thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...eff-hardy.html

The first thing that will happen is when you click on the car the window sticker that comes up will be blank, then the car will disappear from search results altogether, as fast as the dealership deletes from available inventory.

I think you can just move the mouse over the car you wanna check, and look at the bottom of the browser if the link doesn't show up then the car is gone I guess. So you don't have to click on every car to find out if it's sold

When GM adds a car to their dealer's inventory, then Jeff's list automatically adds the car. Same thing when a car is sold and GM deletes the listing.
Now, adding the 2011 listings requires Jeff to set up his site to pull those cars, which is a time consuming job for him. Being sick, I doubt if the site is his main concern right now.
