Sales for Corvettes are probably just way to low for most of them to give a crap and they concentrate on their real money makers.
With the exception of the big Vette dealers, I agree. Why would the med/small dealers want to deal with the demanding Vette customer who will bitch/moan/scream/post negative reviews if there's even 1 small thing wrong with the experience, especially when they can sell their low allocation to some sucker off of the street for over MSRP?

In my opinion Chevrolet should limit the dealers to Corvette certified. I also think there should be an ethical standard. Manufactures can not, by law, dictate pricing. Thus "suggested" retail price. There are other ways to punish excess.

SC, you're very persistent, but why, I don't know or understand. After about the second try, and knowing this site, I would've written the dealer off, fast.
