Under model selection use "Corvette Stingray" instead of Corvette. It will show up along with one that I assume is in transit.

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
Dang a person couldn't get financed with putting 20k down? wow credit must be awful.

they also look at income and debt since this is a sports car, they finance a little different. they know if any bill is not paid it will be the sports car and when they pick it up it will be trashed. if it was a truck with 20k down they would let him have two of them. dude might make 40k a year trying to get a 70k car and finance more than he makes.

I am tempted to call them because that appears to be very close to what I want.

I keep going back and forth. Arctic White ... Torch Red ... Arctic White ... Torch Red ... I bet I go with Arctic White.
Same here....so many of the colors look great.

Good thing that I've got 8-10 years to decide. For those of you buying new...please take good care of it so I can buy it at that time.

The one they show in inventory VIN 602 is actually my car waiting for museum delivery. Bought and paid for as of last night. Not sure why they are showing it in inventory????

Me too. I've never bought a new car and I'm a car guy!. I have four cars which precludes me from buying anything new to drive.

I understand all of that but i also know that there are enough lenders to give you what you want with a high interest rate. IMO a person should have a pre-approval before getting to the dealership...or atleast a plan before ordering a car.

Right after I posted that I looked at the VIN and realized it was your car. You will not regret NCM delivery, I picked my 05 up in December of 04 from the NCM and if I decide on a C7 it will also be NCM delivery.

Salesman just text me saying they are going to try again today with financing - To the outside world the car is "sold" but you know what they say, "Money Talks and..."

Prolly going take my buddy with the GT-R up there after lunch, After the pics I took he's intrigued now.

Yea Vernon was kinda clueless. I told him we would wire him the money now. Your friend with the GTR he will fall in love. I just sold mine 2013 model for this corvette. Slower car but a lot cheaper on modifications and wear and tear parts. Wish they would of taken my offer to wire the funds now. I could of caught a flight out of Atlanta @ 4:00 today

Does anybody know if that car has the exposed carbon roof?, or is it just the lexan roof? Those painted spears look good and Im trying to decide if I like the blacked out roof look on white
