Sold my 2016 Z51 now going to wait and see what happens about C8
Has anyone done a pre order?

Good for you on selling your '16. Your a brave soul for wanting a first year car. Hope all goes well with '20 launch of the C8's

Got an offer I couldn't turn down on the 16 and if it gets ugly on the 20 can always wait or buy a 19

Sounds like a good plan !

Kinda sorta thought about doing that, too. Makes sense to avoid more depreciation. But I still love my '16 Z51.

A pre-order? On a car that does not yet exist?

Call Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet. He's the top Corvette salesman in the USA. He knows as much as any sales person does and I know they are taking orders for the C8 (and have been for some time). To the best of my knowledge, the small deposit you put down is fully refundable if you don't like the C8. I've dealt with him and he's a straight shooter, you'll like dealing with him. You can find his phone number in the C7 Dealer for sale section or on his thread that he starts almost every week on the C7 forum. He might have a thread over on the C8, not sure.

They were doing pre-orders on the C7 when it 'didn't' exist as well. Get you place in line today for the allocation!

Kerbeck, MacMulkin, and other dealers have already started the lists. Crazy, to do I agree, but the car is real even though there's no official announcement from GM.

Uh huh.

So what would you do to 'pre-order' a car that doesn't exist? Just throw a wad of cash at a dealer and ask nicely for him to call you when 'some unknown thing' becomes real, and you're good with whatever price/options/color/engine it comes with?

I guess some people have that kind of money to throw around... good for them.

Only be cool to have if it was serial number 000001 then put it in a bubble and store it 20 years lol

Which is probably what Rick Hendrick will do. Well, maybe not in a bubble.

You give them a deposit when order guide is released you have 30 days to order your car the way you want it. If you don't order deposit is refunded

All new save a few nuts and bolts, the growing pains associated with a C8 will keep our C7 in the garage for the forseeable future. Not to mention the crazy prices, long wait times, etc. Even C6s were bringing 5K over MSRP into the 2006 model run. I bite the bullet and pay MSRP, but I'm never going to pay the early adopter premium of the C8. Like throwing the money away. Patience is a virtue my Mom used to say.
