GM Needs to do this on the 5th gen.
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?

. Do they get a discount for going directly to the plant?

[QUOTE=tls2000]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.
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.

Re: GM Needs to do this on the 5th gen.
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

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.
