It's a big pleasure to introduce me.. I'm very far away from you but the distance doesn't matter when the passion is the same ;-)
First of all, I would have to say that you are VERY lucky to leave in the Corvette's Country !
You cannot imagine the crazy situation caused by the decision of Chevrolet to quit the European market at the end of 2015... They decided to just continue to supply the Corvette and the Camaro but trough the Cadillac division.
Surprisingly they did not imagine that the Chevrolet decision will make a tempest caused by the dealers who decided to quit "the boat" quicker than expected, more over, the Chevrolet employees in Switzerland (and certainly in other european countries) have no more motivation to help Chevrolet in the actual business.
Beside that the factory don't help the customers over here, see for yourself: 220 Corvette ordered for Switzerland and only 60 will be delivered this year (first C7 in Europe in 2014) ! Imagine the disappointment of the customers and the lack of goodwill for Chevrolet.
Asking the importer to know the delay required to order a Z51 to have it on spring 2015, one day later they replied to me that they could not guarantee any delay and any chance to receive a car !
My dream was suddenly dead down and I was more than disappointed :-(
I have certainly a good angel over my head as I decided the same day to contact the biggest Corvette reseller over here and our discussion was friendly and he invited me to come and see his demo cyber gray Z51 (the sole car in Switzerland !!)
I decided to let all falling down and drove immediately for 200 km to them. My visit was great and when I said that I would order one, he replied that I have the ultimate possibility to order it as the reliable number of cars allowed to his company for 2015 was quite closed as only one car was free...(that was not said during my phone discussion). I signed an order form, make a deposit and will have to make the car's configuration later when the 2015 options will be known. Definitely a little angel was with me
So, as I wanted, my Z51 is on order since last Thursday and will be delivered on spring 2015, it was a great day.
The time will be very long until this date but this Forum and all of you will be my companions and I'm happy for that. I read your pages since some days and I feel good.
The Vette will be my second american vehicle after my beloved Harley, if it will give me the same happiness, the future will be amazing !
As I'm not a native english speaking, please excuse the mistakes I could make.
Enjoy your rides lucky friends !
