So disappointed
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.

If you have to ask your wife than stick with a KIA! My money my choice!

Yeah the market is pretty hot. It reminds me of the housing market. The house is sold before you can even write up an offer. A guy on this forum just sold a Grand Sport to Corvette World. I would keep an eye out for that. 2019 Black grand Sport. A8. Like 1300 miles. It's not going to be cheap.

I did the same thing once with a car I wanted. I looked at it at the dealership on Saturday afternoon, went home, gave it some more thought, called the dealer Monday morning and learned they sold it an hour after I left 15 minutes or so before they closed for the day.
Ouch
An excellent way to handle money in a relationship.
Best of luck finding the car you want!

I saw that GM had released the incentives last December. I had been waiting for weeks for it to happen. Called MacMulkin and luckily got a salesman on the line because their phones were ringing off the hook. Asked if a car was still available. He said yes and someone just called and asked him about the same car. I gave it about 15 seconds and told him it's mine! That's the car I own today. You can't delay sometimes. So glad I didn't hang up and think about it.

Too bad the car sold before you could finalize a deal, but that seems to be the way things happen. Sometimes you just have to make a decision on the spot.

Never commingle any financial instruments. Or anything else for that matter. It's easier to split when the time comes. What's mine is, well, mine!
