December 2023 Allocations

[1st Vette]

What can I tell you. With some sites it does that. If you want, you can always go to the suggestion forum and ask Nik.

I may just out of curiosity. Although when you click on ” Site Maintenance “ you are directed to the correct URL . Strange indeed. Maybe a glitch with some CCF site code ? Beyond me at this point.

Cars being ordered now will have a TPW of the second week of February.

That's good to know as my Z06 went in today. Likely March delivery...

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Stop assigning timelines Cam. You set yourself up for failure...

 

[RC Mike]

A friend of mine in Woodstock had his Z06 in around 6 weeks from allocation to delivery

My first time corvette order is in with Bill Spencer! Ordered May 2022, salesman said TPW in January but I don’t mind waiting longer to avoid having to drive it from Toronto to Windsor in peak winter. Worth it either way! Rapid blue c8 stingray 1lt (due to the 2024 price increase..) performance seats, edge red calipers, blue seatbelts, suede interior, mag ride, performance exhaust and carbon flash 5 spoke rims

Welcome to the forum! I personally would have dropped the other extras for a 2LT, but it's what you want so congrats! Are you going to track it? The performance seats are "restrictive" from what I've heard.

Agreed. I had a budget to stick to when I ordered mine as well, but I think that a semi-loaded 2LT will have a lot better resale than a loaded 1LT.

I also just submitted my order with Brian Cullen last week! Ordered a black 2LT coupe+Magride+red GT2 seat and some miscellaneous. I have already ordered custom 3-piece wheels and some carbon fibre stuff in the past weekend. Can't wait!

Congrats! Did you get an allocation, or just got in line?

Thanks! I put down my deposit last June and got my allocation this September. Waited a bit due to the price increase (was wondering if I should get a used 911) and finally decided to put in my order.

 

[CamsC8]

Used 911s and new ones are simply way too expensive. That's one marque that will and has started to feel the squeeze of the current market

yep, base 911 cabriolet is the same range as z06/e-Ray HTC

I dunno, it depends on the year. I think a 15 year old 911 with relatively low mileage can be had for a decent price.

@CamsC8 What is funny?
There are plenty for sale in the 50's right now!

I wouldn't be buying a 15 year old 911 at the moment which are the 997.1 series. They are dated, no real modern features and parts supply is dwindling.

Murray, what do you think the average yearly maintenance costs would be on a 15 year old 911?

I have a friend who has a 98. He loves it. Though it's not a daily driver. We have no idea what Mr August wants with his, but as a pleasure car maintenance can be next to nothing.

 

[CamsC8]

Ok Murray I would easily pay for a 98 993 series 911 as they are the last year of the air cooled 911s but are horrible as daily drivers or more than weekend cars. That's now a collector car and appreciating.

But 99 to 05 I would gladly run fast away from...

Be careful Murray, "The performance seats are "restrictive" from what I've heard."...

This Porsche 912 With A Carbon Body Weighs Just 1,541 Pounds

This custom Porsche 912 with a full carbon body has lost over 660 pounds and gained a more powerful air-cooled four-cylinder engine.
