[QUOTE="gone, post: 304734, member: 5899"] Hey Murray. A few other thoughts: -consider mentioning that once an order hits event code 3000, its pretty well impossible to change anything with the order (colour, trim level, accessories, etc.). That's a common question that comes up and some regret trying to make changes too late -"TPW" at the event code 3100 description is "[U]target[/U] production week" -in the second paragraph above the event codes, change "dealer has been only been" to "dealer has only been" -I always recommend people get their proposed Bill of Sale and finance documentation, in advance of the actual delivery day, for careful review and to clear up any unexpected pricing issues, since they'll likely be too distracted with their new vehicle on delivery day to effectively deal with money problems, or at the very least that will delay driving away from the dealership and tarnish what should otherwise be a ++ enjoyable experience -you can buy the extended warranty anytime prior to the end of the regular warranty (I don't think it limited to one year) AND you can price shop and buy it from any GM dealership, the only risk being it could increase in price later, however there's [U][B]lots[/B][/U] of room to negotiate since the regular price includes a TON of profit for the dealership -I think it a good idea to recommend near the end of the "spiel" that people read the owner's manual on the Web before taking delivery (to know more about the PDR and other neat things) and follow the vehicle break-in procedures, since improper break-in seen by GM as causing problems will be a devastating not-covered-by-warranty landmine. Plus there's so much to learn when a good salesman is taking you through the car on delivery day, that some advance knowledge will make it all easier to understand -finally, I like to tell people to consider signing up for the Ron Fellows COS (Corvette Owners School), which can be done anytime in the first year of ownership at a reduced rate due to GM's generous subsidy of almost 75% of the regular cost. Many people miss that or learn of it too late, when they receive their speed shape model and generally, dealers say nothing about it. Good job and a great "one-stop-shopping" resource for new people.
