I smell a rat....
Looking for your opinion on this one...
Last week I got the call from my dealer saying that the Z51 vert I have on order may wind up being a base model after all because of constraints on the Z51 and also my FAY option I need to forget about it.
According to him when GM calls your number up you have to make a decision otherwise they will loose the allocation.
So then he tells me that if I don't want a base he can order me a 2015 MY instead so that takes me to an October 2014 delivery (summers are short here in Montréal so basically summer 2014 is gone)
He promptly proceeds to tell me that if I pass this one up his boss will buy it for himself
... This dealer is small and only had 4 allocations for MY 2014. I'm the last one available.

No I had looked at that. I can only buy used if I want to cross the border. I do own US property (so I have a US address) but I also have to be a US citizen...not the case...

Doubt if the dealer has allocation. '14 verts will be extremely rare in Canada.

So if you happen to have a US drivers license you should be able to order it to your US address. (Might be easier to get than a '14 z51 vert in Canada.)

I'll be crucified for this but I would just say you may want to rethink your entire order. I got my $1,000 back from a dealer here in Omaha. He had me at 1100 status for well over 4 1/2 months with no movement. I now am having severe problems even finding a local dealer that will do a "courtesy delivery". So Iam "rethinking" the whole thing now that I got my deposit back. Rethinking as if Iam even going to go after a C7 at all. Anyone that says getting a "courtesy delivery" is easy obviously doesn't live in Omaha.

I don't want to be "grumpy" or anything but I found Marissa at GM Customer service to be not very helpful. I emailed her about my situation and her comment to me exactly was this: "Well I can't shake these cars off of trees you know".
