Keep your deposit at Spencer. They have only one list for nonStingray cars: ie all Z06, ERay, Zora etc and are going down the list as cars become available with people giving up Z06 allocation if wanting an ERay but not losing their place in line.
Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?

Denis, I was on the configurator last night. Where is the 2K price difference? I am still planning on Z06, E-Ray and ZR1, and have deposits on each, but who knows what will happen. I have great placements for the Z06 and ZR1 but so so for the E-Ray which I am hoping will give me a good long chance to enjoy the Z06. I am still waiting for the next Z06 allocation at my dealer.
It’s been a long road, and it always is! Not that it means much of course, but I’m Order Accepted (1100) with the great folks @Surgenor in Ottawa.
Skyler, are you saying Surgenor in Ottawa got an allocation recently and they gave you that allocation?
Official List Update: Canadian Build and Price is now live, and prices are higher than some of us thought.
Has anyone changed their mind yet? has anyones' order been accepted or status changed?

Good question. I got on the list last November (2021) and was told by Sean Lawlor that I could get on the ERay list, but it was all just one list for nonStingrays.
Seems very strange for a dealership nowadays not to be a hybrid authorized dealer. Maybe that has changed since your inquiry? I haven't asked since getting on the list. I anticipate a 4-6 year wait. I was number 83 or something like that. At this rate I may be first in line for a C9 lol
Getting crazy trying to buy a non stingray. Exporting cars now as well which probably hurts. The only way will be to import from USA - used - they put a few miles on - pay big bucks. We are such a small market !!! Glad I have a loaded Z51 HTC since I may not get a Z06 or E-Ray - chances very remote to be sure.
I also am extremely happy with my C8. I put my name on the list with the expectation of a long wait, and then decide when the time comes. At the rate that the prices are going up I expect the ERay will cost about double what my C8 cost with similar options. Not willing to buy at that cost.
Which raises an interesting question: what is the maximum (before taxes) that anyone on a list is willing to pay for the ERay? My max is $140,000- so probably best just to get off the list now!
Sorry- not intending to hijack this thread. Just thinking out loud. I'll start a new thread
Well, I am on a list and have agreed to pay $50K over MSRP for a Z06. I sent them my order as per the USA build sheet they sent me. It came to $150K USD - so, looks like $170 CDN + premium of $50K. I sent them pics and info on my current C8 with the understanding that I get a decent trade-in for mine. I think still a long shot though. Ditto E-Ray which should not be more than a Z06 - it is suppose to me the sub for the GS. I am not a young man - so, just want one of these cars. Still very healthy and active - keeping fingers crossed that this will continue - LOL.I also am extremely happy with my C8.

That is where very optimistic pricing is starting, not the market. If a bunch sell at $300k then I would agree that is where the market price is at. In any event not for me ever at $300k (CDN or USD).
just because we are so close to USA geographically, culturally and economically; USA Prices, USA availability, USA wait times, and USA allocations means absolutely nothing to Canadian C8 corvettes market new or used.
same applies to all previous Gen Corvettes, I don't care about previous gen corvette buying experience, wait times, prices, availability or how GM handled allocations. Those times are gone, never coming back and previous gen experience has Zero usable data to the C8 buyers.
for example: if I told you: "GM Canada will make 30 Z06s for 2023" vs "GM will make 3000 Z06s in 2023 but Canada will only get 1% of total production"
both statement mean exactly the same thing to Canadian Buyers, but which statement leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Bill Spencer will be receiving GMs EV vehicles like the Silverado and E-Ray I can confirm. And yes, they keep a single list for all non-Stingray edition C8s so it will be interesting to see how folks move up the E-Ray or Z06 lists as folks who get called for allocations change their minds.
The dealership I am with for the E-Ray #1 position has kept separate C8 Stingray, Z06 and E-Ray lists and wouldn't allow the start of the E-Ray list until it was officially announced.
