Thread: Anyone Ever Take Delivery of their new Corvette At the Factory?

    I've checked out the '06 Corvette at several dealers and none of the dealers had much in the way of any knowledge about the car other than they want 12k over sticker.
    When the prices gets real,, I'm seriously considering buying one. This will probably mean next year.
    (they even wanted $25 for the brochure, I didn't pay it)
    I've never met a bigger bunch of idiots that knew nothing about what they were selling.
    I'd like to take delivery in Kentucky at GM's Corvette plant. I read in several trade rags this can be done.
    Anyone ever done this? Was it the cool way to do it or a waste of time?

    Read all about it. It sounds awesome. I think you are talking about the Z06. Screw all those clowns, CALL Jay PHOTOGLUE he is on here. He will sell you one at cost, you just have to order it now. He sold us ours when everyone else was selling them at 7K over MSRP. he did it for 1K under MSRP. Talk about happy... Oh ours is only a C6

    its my understanding you can pick one up at the ditrubution center if you are a gm employee or family member of one or one that once was , my ex girly works at the proving ground in chandler a.z. she was driving that z06 or i should say the concept for it over 2 years ago and i knew nothing about it who says aerospace has the only secrets, she said wait and see the new camaro and she says look to spend around 62,000 retail for the zo6 427 ci.and u will need to pre order it or u WONT get one!!!!!

    The nail is in it. It can be repaired. Now I'm in L.A. So you think there would be a repair center near by. NOPE. I called the ones on the Goodyear website, they were like WTF are you talking about....
    So I think im assed out and I am gonna have to by one.
    300 Later.
    As far as picking up the car at the center. they do have a special pick up center for the Corvette. It will cost you 400 bucks to do it. They throw you a little party and have plaques and stuff.......

    yeah I don't think you want to repair that, it would be okay if you were the only one driving it, but your wife will probably get it over 55 m.p.h.
