Default Thanks Kerbeck!! No patience

First of all i would like to wish all at "KERBECK" a Merry Christmas!! My last Corvettes were purchased at Kerbeck. Having owned over 11 Corvettes i have no patience on waiting for one to be ordered. My trips to them require staying in focus on what i want, filling out the paper work and driving off. The new C8 models will be on the lot with many different colors, options, and prices. I envision a couple of hundred to choose from. My allotted time is approximately four hours. In by 1PM out by 4PM. I observed this frenzy when the C7's came out.
i will post photographs once my purchase is complete. I would also like to wish my fellow corvette owners a " MERRY CHRISTMAS" !!!!!!!!!!!

My most recent purchase took a little longer (most of an afternoon)... since I ended up buying TWO identical C7s when the first developed the weird '17 p/s failure as I was getting ready to hit the road home. But, of course, they made sure all ended well.

Let us all know how it works out. I am hoping by Corvettes of Carlilse in August of 2020 things will have settled in and I can see the folks at Kerbecks and leave with a C8

Does Kerbeck actually say that there will be C8s on their lot in 2020? Because I imagine no dealer is going to be able to order any just for their stock alone because they'll have used up all their allocations just for customer ordered cars because of the high demand. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just didn't think they would be setting aside some of their allocations for their own lot considering the number of people willing to put down deposits and commit to an order. That's quicker money in the bank for them, compared to keeping a ton of cars on the lot.

The post wasn't very clear, but I'm assuming the pictures that you posted are the C6 and C7 that you previously purchased from Kerbeck and now you are excited at the prospect of buying a C8 from them? As mentioned, I would not count on any quantity of C8s sitting on any dealer lot any time soon. That will give you time to mull over the options that you want. Congrats on your eventual purchase!

Criswell told me they were allocated only so many C8's and they were currently all spoken for. They were taking deposits to be put on a waiting list in case they could get some more allocations. I don't think we are going to see C8's sitting on the lot anytime in 2020!

Yeah, I have a feeling most, of not all, C8s for the 2020 model year are already spoken for and will not sit on a lot for a lengthy period of time.

Very confusing post. Trips, 4 hrs, tons of c8s to choose from....I guess your point is you can’t wait for the c8.

I could be wrong...but they are planning on making 40,000 C8. I will guess by August of 2020 there will be C8 on dealer lots NOT SOLD. People will back out or will sell the car..So I am saying there will be used C8 on the lots of dealers in August of 2020 with some new. It would be funny if the used C8 was more than the new one.

Just a guess.

In August of 2021 - there will be many.

I made my purchase at Kerbecks also. I dealt with Sam Kelly. It was a VERY difficult transaction!! ------------------------------------------------------------------Sam is a Cowboys fan while I am an EAGLES fan !!
It really was a pleasure to purchase my '19 GS there !!! all kidding aside, a great crew !!

If ANYONE has C8 Vettes on the lot -- it will be Kerbeck!
