Save yourself a lot of GRIEF find a dealer with allocation who can order while your there or over the phone. I agree with Glen e Bud's is where i bought mine because he had allocation and my local dealers did not. I called Bud's ordered my car over the phone (no deposit required) and picked it up 6 weeks later. it can't be much easier than that! Bud's (Tom) also told me about the SUPPLIER DISCOUNT which saved me $7000 on my car. of course i used Becky to update my car because she was online and knows her stuff, but a phone call or email to bud's worked also. Tom also took lots of photo's of my car arriving on the car carrier and while at the dealership. I'm not saying Buds is the only way to go, just be sure your dealer is upfront and has allocation, there are not that many that can produce a car within 6 weeks. things i think helped.

1. bud's had allocation
2. they knows corvettes and how to get them fast!
3. when a carrier truck pulls into their lot it unloads the whole truck. which helps with shipping, so many cars sit "BAYED" waiting on a truck because its the only car dealer is getting and has to wait for other orders from near by dealers to fill truck. Bud's fills the truck, they have a showroom for Corvettes that is probably 20,000 sq ft and has about 30 or more corvettes in it.
4. bud's was a small dealer in a small town, but has the ALLOCATION other dealers can't match. check out their Facebook page for reviews, lots of return corvette buyers

do your research first! ask the right questions!
