Like the color; but, not the wheels - too flashy for me - prefer 5 spoke black - but, a great looking car eh?

Hey, does anyone know how they get that combination of the Sky Cool Grey dashboard trim with the Sky Cool Grey seats? If I try to build a Z51, I can't select those two together. I end up with a black interior with Grey seats or a Grey interior with Black seats.

You're probably trying to build a 1LT. That combination is only available when you move up to 2LT or 3LT.

2LT at least and may have to pay $800 or so to by pass restrictions on color combos??

Just wondering: those ordering/ordered already have any idea on the trade-in value on their C7?

Unless your C7 is a manual I don't think you're going to like the number, especially as they are being discounted from new and the C8 being such a great price.
Ontario black book trade for a 2016 Vert seems to be $48000 to $55000 but I'm not a dealer

I used the black book for Canada and got up to 60K top end for mint - which mine is. A 2016 coupe with more miles, same color, 2LT - mine a few more options - were asking $62K Dec. - sold don't know what price though? I won't take less than $50K - $$38K less than I paid; and, yes, I understand they have discounted new cars on the lot to get rid of them. Money is not an issue for me; but, I hate getting it you know where without any kiss - LOL.

I saw that but didn’t think it was legit. I thought you had to be in the car retail business to have access to it. But then again this was from a time when I would go to Becker’s and buy this weeks autotrader at the newsstand.

NOTICE FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE LOOKING FOR A USED C7 CORVETTE ..........
MY HOPE IS THAT THERE IS SOMEONE READING THIS THREAD WHO IS LOOKING FOR AN AWESOME C7 VERT OPPORTUNITY. THIS CORVETTE IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I PERSONALLY CAN SAY THIS AS I THOROUGHLY CHECKED IT OUT WHEN I TRAVELLED TO WEST FEST IN BC THIS PAST SUMMER. THE CURB-SIDE APPEALING COLOUR OF THIS CORVETTE IS ABSOLUTELY TOP-NOTCH AWESOME. IT IS WELL WORTH CHECKING IT OUT AND PERHAPS ATTEMPT TO AQUIRE IT BEFORE IT BECOMES JUST ANOTHER USED CORVETTE ON A CAR LOT.

Take it from a former dealer Black Book is not what you will get on a trade. These are guides for banks and wholesale prices are determined by auctions. The thing that affects Corvette wholesale the most is US auction price. Any dealer can show you Manheim US results. Take approximately $1500 off the Manheim actual result , exchange the Canadian $ and you will be within $1000 of a realistic trade value. Any repairs are deducted also.

No, I had 3LT selected. It might just be a dealer order option rather than a standard selection. It's obviously available. It might even be something you can't select for 3LT.

2LT at least and may have to pay $800 or so to by pass restrictions on color combos??

This is correct. When I sold my Corvette last year, I tried a lot of different options. The auction price (in my case the Adessa auction price) was the number. The local dealer I bought the car from came through with a better price, but it was surprising how consistent the prices were from widely different dealers.
