I can track it but Vehicle status is still unknow its keeps saying "unable to connect" so I'll only know when I see it I guess. At least I can see how unproductive the rail yard is!
Some good news on the recall.
- Thread starter Mr.Corvette
- Start date
Sounds like the service hasn't been fully activated by the dealer then which you could fix with a call to OnStar and say it's only partially working. This is normally set up during the "welcome call" as your service has been prepaid by the $1200 price increase in Oct 2022 for 3 years of full service.
Shows 15 km on the NVIS . I was able to register it today using copies of the Bill of Sale and NVIS .
Are you sure it's that one or is it the one in the background? lol, nice it's finally showed up fairly quickly. How's the snow doing in Yellowknife?
Makes sense, Ill worry about that when I have the car it'll be what it'll be at this point
Those are the pictures they sent me last week so I assume it is that one . The roads are completely bare for about a month now . Still piles of snow around but no issue for driving at all . we have only had two days of cloud in the last six weeks . Lots of heat in the sun . but you are right , the one in the background looks closer to what I pictured for HGM . I will find out soon enough . They did build the right spec this time though according to the window sticker , lol .
Trust me I already checked it once yours was built, we had a conversation about it making sure it was right this time. So when are you going to get it?

Since I was able to register it today I could drive it away tomorrow but I don’t have a house sitter until May 13 so I fly down then and pick it up on May 14 . Snow is forecast for tomorrow and the next day for Edmonton so good thing it’s not today, lol. I’ve waited this long so….
Scott, I’m happy with my choice of options on this new car. My 22 was my first corvette, and I think I was more concerned about the money, than worried about some small performance differences. However after attending the Ron Fellows Owners Classes, I was suitably impressed with both the Ron Fellows folks, their facility and really impressed with the car.
I learned my own capabilities as well as those of the car. And to say I was impressed with the whole experience would be a gross understatement. It was one of life’s most memorable moments. And I’d strongly encourage any corvette owner to go! You won’t be disappointed.
My old car, traded in, in September, had what I think was a fair trade in value and has been the dealerships since. They have sold all of the other corvettes they’ve had on the lot and as trade ins. But not the 22. It’s their business, but the dealer claims it’s the non Z51 (he feels) that’s holding people from committing.
It doesn’t affect our already agreed upon purchase or trade in values as they were agreed on in September. I wish him luck selling it, and am looking forward to bringing my new one home in the coming week or so. It was just south of Kamloops today as we checked on Vin View.
Cheers,
Graham
Amazing story Graham, great to hear how much you liked the Ron Fellows school and how those cars had an impact on how you ordered your next car. I think it's great that all you guy's can now walk into your dealer loaded with information about Vin View and how the system works to get the answers you want and deserve!
Your car should arrive in Vancouver by tomorrow morning. As you know with your new car you will have an opportunity to return back to Pahrump. In speaking with the one of the mechanics there, they change the tires on those cars every 6 days. The retail value of the tires coming on your car is $3,200 and many people enjoy it so much there they keep going back multiple times. I like the sound of your new car more than the one you traded in. I would be interested to know if you saw the thread that I started last May when I was about to order my current car as you switched from Coupe to HTC?
Coupe or Convertible, if you've had both and were going to order again?
Hi everyone, well it's just about that time for me to order again. Started with Coupe before the HTC's were being built and then tried out the convertible. Z06 is still not available for me. Just wondering from those out there that have had both, if you were going to do it all over again...

Thanks for your comments Scott. I have a few questions hopefully you’ll know the answer to?
I didn’t realize our window stickers were available. How can we view them?
As I have already attended the Ron Fellows Driving School, can I nominate my son or a close friend to go in my place?
I did not see your May post - Coupe vs HTC, but will certainly be going to read it. My view of this later car was it was going to be my “forever” car, as I’m now 71. So I wanted to not be quite so money conscious and order the car I really wanted. My original thought, and reason for ordering my first corvette was it was a historic moment where corvettes were moving to a whole new platform. And that excited me and I wanted to be a part of it. Don’t get me wrong money is still a big issue but I recieved more value for my trade in than I paid for it so that took away a little of the pain. And moving to a Z06 almost doubled my costs. So I’m pretty happy I found some middle ground where I’m delighted with the car I’ve ordered and plan to keep her around for a long time.
Cheers

Graham, I just sent you your window stickers and you chose some nice options to complement the build.
Does your son share your name? GM covers the registered owner of the vehicle for Ron Fellows.
Glad you made out well with your trade allowing you to do the upgrade. I think you will be extremely pleased with the build you selected.
Scott
Thanks for the window sticker Scott! I’m kind of surprised to see the Jake floor coverings as they were on constraint at the time and my dealer said we had to give them up to get an accepted allocation.
Oh and I read through all of the responses on your May post - coupe vs HTC. And find myself agreeing with most of the rational listed. In the end it obviously comes down to personal preference and cash availability. I do believe I’ll enjoy the HTC.
Sometimes, or at least in my case, I would not have fit in the coupe comfortably (basically at all) as there is a couple of inches extra head room in the HTC with the roof open or closed.
Regardless of the fitment, I probably would have gone with the HTC anyway, just because I like the simplicity of opening the roof while driving down the road or sitting at the intersection. Probably would not have bought a C8 had it only come as a soft top like it predecessors.
