Youre right... AutoFair is not much better. I bought my C6 from them, and I will not buy another from them. The salesman was a flat out jerk. We took another Vette for a test drive and he took it over a speed bump at over 30mph trying to show me how good the suspension was.

The also have market adjustments, but when I told them that I was a supplier, that was no longer a problem. I did get what I think was a fair price, but the people there are rude and unhelpful.

Bill Heard:

Not crazy about the gray either. Sort of looks like a wannabe black that didn't quite make it. Institutional looking, more suitable for a van or truck.

Doesn't surprise me at all. They wanted $10k more for the exact car I bought this spring. When I told them what kind of deal I could get online they basically told me to go for it, and it meant nothing to them (LandShark that was).

BUT $30K!!!! Wow, I can only guess they are looking for those blind squirrels, or pigs, or which ever saying you'd like to use.

Noticed today on that auction site you can get a ZR1 for $167k buy it now, what a bargain. Then again there is a no reserve auction for a ZR1 that is only up to $123k. Can't wait to see where that one ends up, true market value. For anyone looking for that 09 Z06, they're not $155k, just the same $80k.... that is unless you go to a forum dealer!

There's a reason we call them Bill Turd Chevrolet

Visit our for sale section here. You will find CForum supporting Chevy dealers who will sell to you at under MSRP.

i did not. but the one next to the grey one is blade silver.

i should have taken pics of that blaze z06. it was parked under a carport and was detailed...unlike the other cars which had crap from the 2 weeks of constant rain we've had here.

even if they had the car i wanted, i dont even think id go by and talk to them. just all around shady business.

You guys that live there and got yours for less should park yours near there with a big sign saying how much you paid for it.

I suspect there are. Plus it gives them more room to impress with their trade allowance.

What's on the sticker (including markup) and what the dealer would actually sell it for are probably two different things.

I had heard that when the 05 C6 models were first hitting the dealership showrooms; it was not unusual for the very early 05 C6's to carry a $5k dealer mark-up or if you were lucking to not have to pay a mark-up; the very early 05 C6's were sold at MSRP; and that was considered a "good deal" at the time considering that there were still 04 C5 models still sitting that had not been sold.

Any truth to this?

Yes that is the truth. The change in the Corvette market just from the release of the 07 to the release of the 08 is huge. 05,06 and the start of 07, MSRP or minimal discounts. Most dealers would not take a supplier certificate back then either. Now you can get a great deal from many dealers on the forum.(around these parts anyway)
