Default The Corvette tax.

For those of you that wonder why Corvette transactions are liberally slathered with with prices much higher than other brand automotive activities, all you have to do is read through this thread and you will find out what a big PIA it is to deal with Corvette people. Especially those that know nothing about cars, collector cars, big egos, $$$$ and no common sense. Many of them are a big PIA and sellers charge extra for putting up with them.

I wish this thread could be video taped.

Mike,
As of today there are almost 500 posts in that thread. That's a lot of reading material. Was there something in particular you wanted to point out in that thread?
I followed it until it just got too long and boring to continue so maybe I've missed something?

I've stayed away from that thread but your post had me scan over a couple pages of it - 25 pages now. You may well have a good point.

LOL. So I guess that means that the seller of a fraudulent car should charge a higher price cuz he knows that the buyer will be a PITA when he finds out?
OK, sure...........

Or maybe he’s just greedy?

Now we have threads about other threads.

Does anyone remember when we used to have technical discussion on this forum?

The thread is so long because there are too many wannabe lawyers that keep on giving "their" legal opinion. When 2 actual attorney's wade into the discussion and cite actual case law, the wannabe attorney's want to argue. Maybe they are just trying to improve their "post" count.

the only positive would be if a newbie learned something but it would require hours of reading.
