This is what I was told:

- 9-13 cars were placed before us
- this represents 1.5 months of delay minimum for people on the list
- Monica claims she has no control once orders are submitted and does not see constraints
- The owner forced this to happen

trumper Z06

Not unusual... many other Dealers are doing the same thing.

Many dealers will Auction off the new Z06's until supply catches up with those willing to spend a preminium for the latest Thing !

The economy may be going into the Toliet and cars priced at 75 LARGE may quit moving. Afterall the C-6 Z06 really is a " TOY "... hard to justify in a resession.

Lets see what the market's like in 6 months or so.

I think that is very poor business if it is true.

It sucks trying to be the first to get a new model.

Huh.

That's odd...

Hmmm.

Well, now, wait just a minute, not so odd, 'cause I recently got educated on just this point. In fact, you were actually the very individual who recently informed me in no uncertain terms that the market ought to set prices for these cars, not MSRP, and that claiming you were in line for a car didn't really mean taking delivery of an actual car, you know, for real.

I am correct on that point, right? I haven't munged that up? It is what you said? I want to be careful not to misquote your position, that is in the record, here on CF....

So having a couple of higher rollers step in front of you in que shouldn't worry you too much, correct?

Relax! It's only time & money.

Is Maxie Price going to refund the deposits of everyone on their waiting list? If this was not disclosed when they were collecting their $1000 deposits, looks like breech of the agreement to me. They've been collecting for years saying "We've got a big allocation." I don't ever remember them saying "we'll take your deposit for MSRP but not order it until we order a dozen to gouge the uninformed first."

total bummer!!!...however you can't blame dealers when they see people who are getting early cars for msrp and then have them on ebay for 20g more than they paid before they even have them .....

my dealer gave me their first allocation at msrp after i told him that i intend to run my new z06 into the ground, race it every chance i can....use it exactly what it was intended for....
he certainly had a concern about his first one being 'flipped' or sold for a profit.....and rightfully so.....

i bet he could get 10 to 15k over sticker for it....it is set to be built the last week of sept/first of oct.....

i cannot wait for the first autocross with it!!!!....anticipation is part of experience and excitement !!!

And that's why I'm hanging back. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my C6.

Me, I would chill until you hear it from the horse's mouth, about your OWN unique situation -- there have been a lot of examples of running off at the mouth, and jumping to conclusions and wrongful accusations lately. For instance, maybe only QuikAG lost his spot in line, due to some very personal issue. Then everyone could assume it applied to them as well, when in fact, it was only an individual issue.

Obviously, anyone with the foresight to have entered an enforcable contract has a cause of action, if rumors are true...

Others? Well, they have a story to cry over and tell their buds around some wings and beer.

Could you be more specific as to what the problem is. Perhaps there is another thread that I have not seen that this ties in to, but reading the above, I'm not really sure what you are telling us happened.

thanks

QUIKAG

This relates to some confusion and as to whether any others on here can shed some light on the subject. The subject is several of us have had deposits for in excess of a year at Maxie Price and we were informed recently that several cars were moved ahead of us in the dealer queue for 'dealer stock' purposes before our orders will be filled.

Really short-sited thinking on the owner of Maxie Price's part. He basically just shut the door on many potential repeat Corvette loyalists/customers, so he could make a fast buck on someone who will pay extra for the latest fad, whether it be the new Vette, Viper, Porsche, whatever.

I feel sorry for Monica. He's put her in a tough spot...basically hung her and her credibility out to dry by bypassing the waiting list and deposits she has been building up for over a year....

Thank you. I agree that this would not sit well with me at all. I hope that ya'll know that if they (Maxie Price) sell you a car at "MSRP", you will actually be paying $500 over MSRP as well.

Let's be nice to Monica this week. She's had a death in the family. Next week I can ask her why my #1 spot is still 3400 on her current report, and JDogg from this forum reports my car born 9-9-05 ID# 0795 ?
Something smells fishy? She might be overwhelmed by the loss in her family so I'm waiting till next week.
I'm at over MSRP

Happened to me too.

Lot's of crazy rumors and bad info here lately. Everyone is keyed up and on edge. Let's not let anyone drive people over based on possibly unfounded rumors.

To all. Watch what you say here. Being nasty or speculative will only get this closed. Really. And then no one will know what happened or not (or who cares or not).

Kind of like an answer on this one myself. I guess Karma can get you.
