Thanks to Rick "Corvette" Conti & Coughlin Cars Ohio
I had to look outside of California to buy my Stingray at MSRP, my CA dealer wanted $10k over.
I contacted another out of state "large" Corvette dealer who agreed to sell at MSRP, but could not get me a car until spring 2014.
A Corvette forum member suggested I contact Rick Conti, which I did on Sept 12, and placed my order with him for a loaded 2014 Z51 coupe.
It was built on Oct 7 (vin 3247) and delivered to Coughlin Cars (Ohio) dealership on Oct 16. Paperwork was completed very quickly via overnight FedEx, both ways, and other than having to get 4 (of many) signatures notarized, it was a painless process, with nothing "added" to the agreed on price, and no mistakes on any of the documents (good job, Brian).
Car was loaded up for shipping to me on Oct 23 via Pilot. Cannot wait till it gets here, but in the meantime, Rick was nice enough to take the time to stage the car and take several great photos which he emailed to me.
So many thanks to both Rick "Corvette" Conti for getting me this highly sort after car amazingly fast, and to Brian for the painless and flawless financing and paperwork process (which also included the out of state stuff and notification to my local DMV office).
Steve from Pilot called me yesterday and informed me the car would be delivered this Sunday at or before noon. Simply brilliant!

Rick was able to get me my car in advance of my pre-winter "deadline" of Oct 15 with a mid-July order.
He is the real deal and fun to deal with. The process is as described by OP.
Now if he could just hold back the winter.....

That photo of the brownstone interior with the Crystal Red is making me question my own decision to order a black interior in my Crystal Red convertible.
Everybody is going to want to just sit in your car, much less drive it!

Rick is Price King
Its hard to find a cheaper price than Corvette Rick !!! But if you want to trade a C6 in,he wont even give the NADA fair trade value !!Something to think about considering the large mark up on the Corvette.
