I stopped by my dealer for some service work and noticed a used 2016 C7.R in the showroom (only 500 made). It had 50 miles on the odometer. I had to ask about it and was told a gentleman had bought it (from another dealer), took it home and when his wife saw it, she told him no way, get rid of it.
Poor bastard.
Perhaps he should have upgraded his wife first.

Maybe he has a habit of purchasing things they can't afford. I can't fathom someone going and spending this much without talking to the spouse first. I am sure that many of you guys would s@&t a bullfrog if your wife walked into the house with a purse she just paid well into six figures for without talking to you about it.

Rule number one when qualifying phone callers when you are looking to sell a Corvette. Ask if they have their wife's permission when setting an appointment. Otherwise you get a lot of tire kickers who have no business wasting your time
I know a salesman who when he has spent hours with a prospect on multiple visits, who then says his wife won't let him buy it, he says, "That's alright friend, I checked with my wife and she wasn't going to let me sell it to you anyway.
this is funny, because one of these two people in this marriage is a serious, epic jack ***.
A six figure car on a whim is pretty big, maybe she's the rational sane one. Then again, maybe she's a sexual corpse, they have money, and this is all this poor guy would have.
Either way, they sure don't seem like a good match.
I was told the same thing about a 2016 Z06 + Z07 at my dealership and a 2016 MBZ AMG GT-S at the Benz dealership I buy at. Cars that are supposed to be impossible to get at the time but somehow miraculously appear.
More likely special orders from regular customers who don't get charged deposits.

Skeptical as well, since he would have taken a big hit by trading it back if he actually took delivery.
Someone get the VIN then run a VIS report to see if it was ever put in service yet and/or how long he owned it.

Selling it used means it sold and was brought back. The story could be the old stand by excuse told to the next buyer. Might be more to the story. I picked up a new 1998 Corvette that the original buyer had to walk away from because the day it came in his wife was diagnosed with cancer.
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
