Does any dealer know when production starts for the 2015 model year ?

laborsmith

Not a dealer but tentative start is 08/11/2014. Computer to start accepting C7 orders 05/29/2014.

Also, not a dealer but I thought it might be in mid to late July. Not much needs to be changed on the production line to ramp up for the 2015 models.

To fulfill demand 2014MY production will carry in to the beginning of August. I saw the scheduled end of production date but can not remember it. I do remember the computer will accept 2015 C7 orders starting May 29 in case there is anyone that wants to order rather than buy off the lot.

Fact:

Plant start date is 8/11/14

Dealers will begin consensus and know initial allocations in late June 2014.

Dealers can begin submitting order requests within allocations on June 26, 2014.

Final 2014 Stingrays will be produced on 8/8/14

Does that include Z06's, or will its dates be announced later please? Thanks Ken!

Ken Fichtner

The last word that I have from Chevrolet:
The 2015 Corvette Z06 is expected to arrive in dealerships early 2015. Ordering, allocation and pricing information will be provided to dealers in the second half of this year.

When is the last day that they will accept new orders into the system for 2014s?

laborsmith

May 22 unless a new date has been set and last 2014 Vette consensus would be the following Tuesday. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

So for those at 1100 now, if the order is not given an allocation by May 29, then no 2014 C7?

Since the last TPW Is 8/4/14 for the 14 model year, and typically when the allocation/constraint report comes out on a Thursday, it lists TPW 31 days later, they will probably picking up orders through the week of 7/4. They just won't take new orders after late May, hopefully allowing them to catch up on all those back logged orders.

I just placed an order for a 2014 LRG on 2 May for a LRG coupe. I'm hoping to see it before the July 4th weekend?

Dealers will receive their final allocations for 2014 Corvette Stingrays on June 12, 2014. Orders after that date won't be accepted. Further, if your dealer doesn't have an allocation, the date is not relevant.

When will the 2015 Z06 Convertible be available to order?

AFVETTE

Good news, my dealer called confirming he'll get his final allocation on June 12th, which is my order. Looks like I'll be getting one of the last Lime Rock Green coupes GM makes.

Am hoping the ZF1 option will be available as we have been led to believe.

Can anyone confirm ZF1 2014 availability?

fdxpilot

It was showing constrained at 0% last week.

Ken Fichtner

Option ZF1 Appearance Package will be available for ordering beginning June 12, 2014.

ZF1 Appearance Package includes Q7S 5-split spoke, silver painted aluminum wheels. Q7T Black Aluminum wheels can be ordered with ZF1 Appearance package replacing Q7S Wheels.

Option TTV Carbon Flash painted rear spoiler is not included in ZF1 Appearance Package. ZF1 Appearance Package includes body-color Z51 style spoiler. However, TTV Carbon Flash Painted Rear Spoiler can be ordered separately with ZF1 at an additional charge.

Fichtner Chevrolet has allocations for 2014 Corvette Stingrays! Orders to be submitted on June 12, 2014.

Please let us know how you want your Stingray equipped, i.e. Coupe or Convertible, options, and color, and we will provide you with a price:

Here's more about how things work:

Choice of delivery location:
1) Here at our dealership in Montana. Fly into Billings, MT on any major airline and I will personally pick you up at the airport and bring you to the dealership for a first class in depth delivery. (we are just 20 minutes from the airport) No charge for this option.
2) At a dealership of your choice subject to the courtesy delivery fee that they will charge you. You will need to contact a dealer in your area and tell them that you have a friend in Montana ordering a new Corvette for you and that you would like them to perform a courtesy delivery for you. We have found that the fee is lower at a smaller dealership. Further, we advise that you pay the fee directly to the dealership for 2 reasons: 1) you will have leverage to assure that the car is prepped correctly and to your satisfaction, 2) you will not have to pay sales tax on the courtesy fee as it will not be added to the sale price from us on the final paperwork.
3) At the Corvette museum subject to the $990 fee for doing so that is included in the MSRP of the car if you choose this option.

Once you have decided on the delivery location I will need the following from you:

1) Your choice of delivery location including a dealer contact if you are opting for a courtesy delivery.
2) Your name as you wish it to appear on the paperwork.
3) Your home address.
4) Your phone numbers, i.e. home, office, cellular.
5) Confirmation of your desired model, color and equipment.

We require a $1000 deposit to place an order. I am happy to accept a credit card by phone for the deposit.
I will then email you for your files:
1) A copy of the actual order submitted to GM
2) A copy of the GM Auto Book report detailing the standards and options of your order with pricing.
3) Your credit card receipt.

Once the car is produced I will mail you a complete packet of forms for your signature and return with your final payment.
When I receive the documents back with your check, I will prepare and mail you a 40 day temp tag and all of the paperwork that you will need to title and license your car.
