Here are two examples of the WRONG way to treat your wife - good luck in divorce court (if your even married)
#1 #2
Here is the RIGHT way to treat your wife - we make all our decisions together, we compromise, we work towards our life goals together...which makes them so much sweeter when obtained...together

Never pay dealer markup whatever it is....new or used!
In a year or 2 C8's will be all over the place and prices will stabilized and drop for the C7's.
Don't listen to the idiot in the video!

That was not an ‘overstep’. If there was no earnest money deposited there was no ‘deal’. Anyone buying a Corvette I would hope would have $500-$1000 on a credit card to secure their car. If not they really shouldn’t be looking at Corvettes.
The salesman made the right call.

There are a few where it shows up less than you would think. Dropzone.com is one of the few where it's 90% male, but they rarely post the male BS that one sees on many other sites (especially car forums).

I say it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Then again I have only been married for 5 years and I pick and choose my battles. Im sorry you couldn't get the ride. Hopefully it was just a sign to lead you into the GS

I knew many whipped guys whose wife made them return a new motorcycle or car when I was living in California. They thought they could ask for forgiveness, but they were wrong. I was at a motorcycle dealership when a guy came with his tail tucked under him asking the sales guy if he could return the bike he bought yesterday. He took a big loss in selling it back to them when he thought he could just get a refund. One friend thought he would call his wife's bluff and keep his, but ended up divorced over a motorcycle.

I stopped by Corvette World and seen a beautiful 2015 Z51 on the showroom floor today. I wanted to buy it but thought I'd give it more thought and come back during the week if I decided to pony up the money. When I got home I told my wife the car was so nice I'm going back to get it. I drove straight back to the dealer and it was sold. Wish I would have just manned up and bought it. Now I'm thinking maybe I should start searching for a Grand Sport or maybe something a little newer. Anyway, very disappointing day. I'm looking forward to getting back into a Corvette.
