But if you think the price is not a good deal, try another dealer - perhaps a major player in the Corvette world. See what they would do.

The sales person is playing you and IMO he/she is an idiot. 1. Walk away. (my choice). Make sure the sales Manager knows your offer before you leave. One way to do that is to put your counter offer on the sales order and make your sales person bring you back a signed rejection. If he refuses, walk over to another sales person and ask him/her if they really want to sell a car. That will frost the person you were dealing with. Have some fun with it. 2. Go see the General Manager and make the offer. Bring them the market research. That's only if you really want this car. 3. Go online and if your sales person isn't the internet sales person, make an offer on line. My experience is that they will not great you like crap. 4. Contact MacMulkin, Kerbeck, or Criswell and buy from them.

WOW....I get the feeling that some of you want the dealer to PAY YOU to take their car....Fact is the dealer ANY dealer is in business to make money just like any other business. Buying a car has been and always will be negotiating for the best deal. If you offer a price and the dealer says NO either you walk away or offer more money....I also assume if there is a trade involved some of you want RETAIL for it....In this day and age ..... there is such a thing as a computer....and it will tell you, if you put the right info into it, what the dealer will sell a car for.....and what your trade in is worth.... use that knowledge to obtain the BEST deal....it is just that simple....GEEESH

Just walk away if you don't get your price. I love the satisfaction of the phone call from the salesman a couple of days later who now suddenly wants to deal. And if they don't call back go elsewhere - there's lots of cars out there at other dealerships waiting for a loving home.
