I was talking to a supposedly reputable dealership in my area and they said to me basically since it's a 455 HP corvette engine and it's real serious business I'll basically have to buy the car first and get the paperwork done before even getting the chance to test drive one. They also went off mentioning it'll probably be the same at Ford and Dodge too if I try to go for their Mustang/Challengers.
Personally I found this to be a completely backwards mentality and apparently this message came from the manager himself.. Just regurgitated through the salesman over the phone. I found a deposit to be something more realistic but actual purchase beforehand? This isn't a GTR or lambo we're talking about..
With that being said I found out I have a possible connection through my brother in law so I'll see if that inside guy can pull some strings or help us out instead. Otherwise I'll let them know that I'm more than happy to take my business else where  |
stupid. The car i wanted the dealer didnt have and had to have it brought in, in the mean time they wouldnt let me drive my trade in so they put me in a SS they had on the lot until mine came in.
your dealer is stupid, go to another one?
oh, and i test drove one prior to buying it
