You and I have the 2024 DCT on our 2023. I hope mine is problem free.
Daytime running light recall is holding up delivery of my corvette

The increase was I believe $12,500 . Not $20,000 . Still too much.
Factor in the luxury tax plus the HST and its not insignificant.

True. We are lucky here in that we only pay GST . No Territorial tax . Same as Alberta. So if you wanted to look at it from that perspective we save $12,500 on a $125,000 vehicle so in a way it balances out. Or so we would like to think, lol . At the end of the invoice it’s still an increase for us as well. But if you go back and look at the numbers you will see that the 2024 increase actually brought the Canadian price to par with US pricing. Canadian buyers had been getting a pretty good deal in comparison up to that point.

Owch . That’s even worse. Then add %20 and a further %15 on top and you are in teeth grinding territory. I won’t complain about the 12.5 K on the Stingray again.

I had a customer call me last week...2024 C8 Z51...needs a transmission. Only made it a few hundred KM apparently. Getting the run-around from his selling dealer (wasn't us). Wanted us to verify parts and what he was being told was correct. Felt bad for the guy!!!! Warranty of course but eeeesh
Edit - Sorry that was meant to quote the guy mentioning transmission troubles!

Of course everyone now wants to know who the Dealership is.
I never understood why any customers who post about bad dealership experiences don't like to name them, Chris is a Tubman Chevrolet employee and not the customer.
I've bought C8 Corvettes from 3 different dealers:
Butler Chevrolet Pembroke: Average at best
McCurdy Chevrolet Trenton: Excellent
Taylor Auto Mall Kingston: Way below expectation
We probably need a forum just to rate dealerships

My 2023 at Ray Cullen in London, excellent as well.

Thankfully, I still have my 2023 Stingray to drive until my 2024 Z06 arrives! Looking forward to your first cruise of the season, Denis! When will that be, again? May?
I have a used 21 stingray sitting at budds in oakville and I am being told there's no way they can release the car to me until the recall has been actioned. I was under the impression used cars could were not impacted by stop sale orders. Other than walking away from the deal do I have any other options to expedite?

Do you have a sales agreement and have you paid already?

Possibly, purchasing the vehicle un-certified and taking it to a garage that you know and have them certify it for you.
I spoke to a dealership the other day, and it is all about knowingly selling a vehicle with a major (in Transport Canada's eyes) recall and the legal ramifications of that.

Most likely 2nd Saturday in May
I have a signed bill of sale and financing in place... the annoying bit of it all is that I only came to find out about the recall after the financing had come through and I asked when I could schedule delivery for.

What do you mean by financing in place? Are you actually paying right now or are you saying they have approved you for a certain amount but nothing has been finalized yet.
If you are paying then ask them if title has already been put in your name. If the car is already registered then I dont see how they can legally hold your car.

Idk if they have registered the car yet - my assumption is likely not because the car wouldn't have a completed safety certificate with the open recall (headlights being a safety item). I see the loan registered in my name but no payments yet.
