Dealers are full if shiz and that will be what kills most manufacturers next. The slimey employees (not all).
I constantly see new cars that look like badly used cars. Saw a z28 with DENTS on the show room floor (not dings). So I point them out to the sales kid..when he saw how many there were, instead of realizing something is wrong...he says, "its not a ferrari".
What a punk. No pride in their job, brand or country. What does it say about him that hes not working at "ferrari" if thats what he deems the best.
Another z28 today in another show room floor with baaaad marring on the paint.
You can tell I was shopping for a z28...but the camaro game is a dangerous one.
I was offered $28k on my fully loaded 1LE that I paid $47,500 for just 11 mo ago.
And to the OP...$30k for an 08 is not a great deal..especially if needs a "repair".
You will find another.

Thing is The online pictures where accurate unlike his comment. I sat in the sales managers office and negotiated the price. He stood firm on his online price and we shook hands on the deal. I walk over to the salesmans desk to write up my deposit check and all of a sudden there is a problem with the price. You would think that the sales manager would know his inventory and pricing.
At the very least the sales manager should have had the ***** to call me and apologize!
Last thing, if his inventory is so large you would think that they would have a better system in place to make sure this type of thing does not happen.

Sad thing is this stuff happens all the time, Why?
Because they get away with it.
Truth is their thieves, I wouldn't buy a bag of popcorn from this company! I hope that all the members of this forum, that lives 500 mi from this Dealership let's everyone know how shady they are and they them selves stay away. When this goes around the gossip train, they'll wish they would have gave you that overpriced Corvette. The quickest thing you can do is complain on every media forum you can think of, like yelp and so on. It does hurt them. A lot of people read those forums before they buy, trust me, I do!

While I'm way to poor for a C6, I always read this kind of post. It reminds me to share bad business practices to warn others, and more importantly, to share good ones. Word of mouth is still the best guide, even if it's typed.

Over the years I've steered countless clients and family members (including my fiance) away from Weseloh Chevrolet here in North County San Diego due to their shady business practices and absolutely terrible service technicians.
Those clowns have literally brought me someone else's 'vette after taking mine in for service........TWICE! Service writer also told me once that I had a "problematic bad year" for my C6 and that I should look at buying a newer one with the LS3.
Total clown show over there.

I got an email price on a Cadillac SRX. I go down to do the deal and all of a sudden that price was a "typo" in the email! I accused them of bait & switch before storming out of there!
And they had a very good reputation prior to this.

Dealer is pitiful. At that point they should just suck up the mistake and move on. You don't renegotiate the price after it is agreed upon for either side or in a dealer's case raise the price when someone is seriously interested in it.

I agree with phil, once a price is agreed on then it should be set. This happened to me recently when I came into agreement with a price on a vehicle that was out of state. When I was at the airport about to fly out, the dealer changes the agreed price on me. So that was a total loss on my end cause the changed price was like a few grand more.

I bought a 2005 Convertible from a local dealer in July. Prior to checking it out sales guy told me the price twice (once over the phone and then in person) and another sales woman told me the same price as well. So I take the car for a test drive, it runs great, is really clean and say I am interested. Sales guy then tried to tell me that the price is really $4000 higher. I told him no way and we can start negotiating from the original quoted price or I can continue looking elsewhere. He backed down pretty quickly.
