    Listing 2024 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT [Deleted]

    Not thinking I will ever own one. I'm never going to track my car especially considering where I live. Most likely would not purchase another Z51 because of that ? Anyway if you arer going to track your car why have a Z51 ? You need a Z06 :)

    Came from a Chev dealership that did not sell corvettes. The owner of the dealership had it has his personal driver. I believe he's considering a Z06 ? The owner of a dealership near me that does not sell corvettes had a Z06. I wonder if they stand in line like the rest of us ? People must talk...

    Possibly Silver Flare / black combo with red interior ? At first I had a loaded red mist in mind but on the fence after the 2024 price increase. Not to miss out and hung out to dry I purchased a fully loaded 2022 3LT Z51 , carbon interior, mag ride with lift three weeks ago . So I'm in a good...

    That kind of LOC is still 7.4% . The key is to have the cash to pay down fast if you are going that way. As far as car loans go for some perhaps many they may of qualified for 2% loans but fell out at or before 8% . The qualified customer pool is definitely smaller with these rates plus...

    Question Winter Road Trip?

    Ouch ! I know what you are saying. I drove there 3 weeks ago in a car with summers. Drove into a non forecasted snow storm around Trois-Rivières. Actually at one point I lost control of the car on the Trans but pulled it out , Drove for I don't know how long with my flashers on at 40km till I...

    Yep my last car was 1.49% . Now it's 7 or 8% with good credit. Not that I recommend taking it but think $100,000 at 8% . I won't be surprised to see more new and perhaps below MSRP 2024's on GM lots in 2024 . Bought mine to drive and I have no grand ideas that i have a collector cars. Had...

    For what it's worth I like the heads up on available New 2024s

    This dealership recently informed me that they got a good number of 2024's this week. Also to expect a phone call later in the week about an allocation for me. Then figure out if it's worth trading in my 2022 for a 2024 or keep it . This one is not my colour of choice and I'm definitely not...

    Best to ask as mentioned above. Just a thought that the price might be with the luxury tax included. When you do your build online there is an estimated luxe tax included in the price. So only a guess .

    C8 Service Wait Times

    Yes I did make a point to cross that bridge before dropping into that manhole cover. " I'm not saying you are at fault but it is an oddity that we might be able to agree on ". Answer " Yep we can look at it in a week because we are busy with seasonal tyres ". How can you debate that answer ...

    C8 Service Wait Times

    I'm not a walk in . I had an appointment which I arrived for promptly on time for an oil change and safety inspection. They did the work but now i'm left with a check engine light that will take another week for them to look at.

    Not where I'm at and it barely left the service bay.

    C8 Service Wait Times

    Where I live this was actually the third dealership I contacted for my most recent service. First Halifax Dealership was December , the second in Dartmouth was booked online for November23 but the service Department informed me that would need to be changed to December 15 and the 3rd dealership...

    C8 Service Wait Times

    I posted this as a C8 topic simply because it is the model that you would expect to be still under full warranty. Plus I have a 2022 C8. Recently I've been dealing with one month wait times for an oil change or a safety inspection. Also I had an oil change , safety inspection and a recall...

    2024 Ordering Strategy to save on both taxes

    I’m thinking the installation costs would far outweigh the luxury tax on some of these items. Rad screens are not an easy after market installation nor is the rear spoiler. Not sure what it takes to install ground effects ? Might be easier to just suck it up on these items while contoured mats...
