MY2015 is getting closer every day & I kinda doubt that for me, tossing my 2k deposit & starting over looking for a dealer who can get an allocation plus offer supplier discounting, just to save $2157 is worth it. My greatest hope is that my current guy can go to bat & hit a homerun - net me both price inc & supplier pricing, while keeping my current TPW. Not hearing from him for a few days now doesn't look encouraging.
A Z06 would be so nice, but to take delivery of it 365 days from today is like cruel & unusual punishment, not to mention currently incalculably more expensive. Argh.
That is a choice you have to make. I think you can use the new supplier option to perhaps haggle a bit off. Another option is to get them to refund your deposit. Most dealerships would do so. I am reluctant to presume to offer advice, but given the landscape, if it were me, I would jump on the current vehicle arriving and be quite pleased about it.
