Hi! Guys,

Just joined the forum as the excitement for the C8 is building up quickly! I have been following the news for a couple years already.

I have owned a 2015 C7 before (best car I ever owned), which I was lucky enough to find as someone gave up on his order to wait an additional year for a Z06!
I was watching for online opportunities and found that one on the day they posted it. I bought it next day and I paid MSRP while it was common to see marked up prices.

I also owned a 2010 2SS Camaro before that, and I currently own a 2017 ZL-1 Camaro, which I love.
But, I still miss my C7 almost every day.

I am trying to hold on until I can get my hands on a C8, but it is not an easy task seeing the increasing availability of GS and prices dropping...

Given all that, I would really be thankful to any tips on finding a reliable and honest dealership/salesperson in my area (or not too far from me) that could give me a real chance on getting one 2020 C8.

Thanks all and glad to join the team!

What fun you are having driving a ZL-1. Great cars, though we understand quite different from our Corvettes. There will be an opportunity for you to own a 2020 C8 in your future. Or to get a nicely discounted GS now. As Harlan Charles said at the Corvette Corral at Sebring a couple of weeks ago, “2019 is/will be a great year.”

Hey, I guessed it was time to post some update.
I finally got my C8 corvette after waiting a long time to be able to buy one at MSRP.
It's been quite a long time looking for one, but I am happy it is here.
I traded my C7 that was filling the gap for this time I was looking for a C8.

P.S.: Special thanks to John for always trying to help me out in my search.

Hello,

I placed my deposit on a C8 when Corvette did the dealer show thing. I had 2 C7's,
but knew I wanted a C8.

It took 16 months from deposit to delivery. 2020 LT2 Ceramic Gray black interior, black
wheels. I loved it.

Took it to my dealer for an annual oil change, saw a 2023 Red Mist on the showroom
floor. I told my long time salesman I wanted it. He told me it was waiting for the owner
who ordered it to take delivery. I told him if the owner could not take delivery to call me.
About 2 hours after I returned home, my salesman called to say the owner could not take
delivery due to some major surgery. I told him I would return the next day with my 2020
C8 and my checkbook to do the deal.

Drove the 2023 C8 home after that.. Still breaking it in...just hit 400 miles.
