I know the corvette guys can take delivery of the car at the plant or musuem, right after it comes off the line.
I would definitely fly out to anywhere in North America to pick up my Z28

I suppose it depends on where its built huh? Maybe I could drive it off the ship from Australia?

 

Or when the boat comes in from Oshawa Canada . Do they get a discount for going directly to the plant?

 

id do it

 

I'd only do it if it ended up in Delaware... Which is doubtful. But the DE plant is less than an hour from me.

 

Id go to deleware. I dont know how far that is but I go to Ocean City MD from time to time so I could swing it. watch the thing be built with what you want too.

 

I'd love to see it as an option. Would definattly be a good feeling to know that you've have it SINCE it left the factory.

 

I don't believe that Corvette owners get any kind of discount for picking it up at the plant. I think that they still pay delivery just so that they can have the privlege of picking up the car at the factory.

And you do know that Canada is physically attached to the United States, right? It would be coming in on a train, not a boat.

 

It was a joke.

 

Hell, I could WALK to the Oshawa plant from my house!!!

I hope they do build the Camaro here just so I can see it more often!

Not only is there no discount for picking it up yourself, if you want to pick it up at the museum, be prepared to fork over $490 for the privilege. As for me, I'd be thrilled top be able to pick up a new Camaro at the local dealer.

I told Scott Settlemire this last weekend that I will not buy a new Corvette here in washington state because of the huge 2nd sticker they put on them. I rather buy one & pick it up or so at the plant or at the museum

I just built a top $$$ Z06 Corvette & it will cost me MSRP*: $73,495.00 In washington state add another $10-$15k on top of that.

I rather get it where I can get it slightly cheaper

 

Thats the dealer markup here on Long Island too. I saw one for around 90.

 

I can tell you that it's one fantastic drive from Oshawa to California. I have done it a few times. You can take 80 and really boot it (I mean really because it's flat as a pancake) or you can take the 55/40 (old route 66) way and see some spectacular scenery. Either way you'll really get to know the machine and realize what a fantastic continent this is.

 

Its just a short drive up the 401 to Oshawa. Imagine watching your car being built then driving it home. Hey maybe we could stop at your place for a BBQ and gander at these new machines eh!

 

I'm with Ya. I'll pick mine up off the boat of any where in the country
