While I wait for my order I seem to be compulsively looking at all things Corvette. One thing that has caught my attention is the price of Corvettes on the lots. What I have noticed is that a lot of the ones in the dealerships seem to be one extreme or the other. There are quite a few very basic Stingrays and quite a few of the more expensive Grand Sports, Z06s, and loaded Z51s all with prices over 100K and certainly beyond my budget. There are even a lot of 2 and 3 year old cars beyond my budget. I know this is just self affirmation but by ordering my car I was able to get exactly what I wanted at a price I could afford. For me, my basic requirements were convertible, white, chrome wheels, heated seats (2LT), and the Z51 package. Although I would have loved to get other options they just put the car out of my reach. I wonder how many impulse buys at the dealership have ended up with buyers wishing they had got a different colour or different options. I know I almost bought a blue Z51 with black wheels that was on the lot but I just couldn't live with black wheels.
