Silly dealer
My local dealer called me a couple of weeks ago to offer me a NRB Z51 auto, 3LT for $62,000. I confirmed she had the car, drove the three miles to see it, telling her if it was clean I'd take it. Not ten minutes later I walked into the dealership to see a sold sign on the car. I asked when it was sold, the sales manager told me the previous night. I told the sales person never to call me again beacuse she'd lied to me. I should have known better than to ever talk with her again.
Today she reached out to me to provide me a good deal, I should spec a car on line send her the summary and she'd send me a quote to make up for my loss. I sent her the summary of a 15 Z51 coupe which listed at $72K, she emailed back the order form at full MSRP. I said where's my deal? She wrote back, no one discounts Z51s, we'll provide you with a free loaner when your car needs service.
I told her to check out the forum offers and never to contact me again. Within an hour her manager emailed to say he would also back the car with a forever warranty on the engine. I asked him to confirm unlimited milage and it's transferable. He said non transferable. I told him to not contact me again. I thought most dealers knew this type of crap doesn't work any more.
Guess many dealers still think we're all dumb.

Perhaps you could try speaking to them in their native language, because it's obvious they sure don't understand english!
Oh, I don't believe they think all of us are dumb, but they are hoping they found a dumb one.

Should have done immediately after leaving the showroom.
