It worked and he accepted the CU. Thank you for you help
that's good news--when I was shopping for mine, I sent offers via email to all the Chevy dealers here in DFW, of which there are many. I wanted to order for museum delivery, cash deal, no trade, $X.
Only one replied other than with the usual pablum of "come on in and we'll treat you right" line.
The one, told me, if you belong or can join a credit union, we'll order what you want at Credit Union pricing which is lower than the price you offered. And I did, just that--ordered from them and they're not the closest dealer to me by any means.
Frankly, I don't know why all dealers don't do that--want to earn my business? The fastest way is to advise and accept credit union pricing or give me an even better deal.

I am sure others would appreciate you posting what D/FW dealer you used.
I talked to them and they gave a real low ball on my c6 so I just moved on
After swearing I would never step foot in their dealership again, I bought mine from Hendrick Chevy on Shawnee Mission Pkwy. They have been great this time. I traded in a Mercedes E-350 and the trade was fair. Don't overvalue your C6 with dealers. The only way to maximize your sale price is to sell it yourself...HOWEVER, you will lose a substantial sales tax offset if you do that, so consider that in the trade amount.

I live in KC, bought mine from Hendrick. They have been offering supplier pricing to everybody for the last three months, but they say that will stop after tomorrow. I have credit union membership.
They will give you a fair trade--but you have to work for it. They'll try and lowball your trade to start with--as many dealers will. Just know what your trade is realistically worth--not what you think/hope it's worth. In the end, I got a reasonable trade-in.

FYI, Missouri is different than Kansas. If you sell a car privately or trade six months before or after you buy your new car, you can get the sales tax credit.
