Hello. Does anyone know if I can sell my c8 slot. I've been waiting for over a year and the dealer told me this week that I was next and my build should happen in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Unfortunately I ran out of patients and purchased.another car. Thoughts?

I would just tell the dealer you don't want it and want your deposit back. They'll make more money off it than selling it to you. No harm in asking.

Most dealers will not allow you to sell your slot. You can take delivery and try to sell it or just ask for a refund now.

Depending on the particulars and if your dealer allows it, I’ll give you something for it. But not nearly what you perceive it to be worth I’m sure.

A dealer in TC, MN is giving those who ordered a '20 and don't want them a $5000.00 buy back.... They turn around and sell them at $15K over window..

Lol Still..... Mot..... By any chance?

lostsoul

a while back I tried to give my spot away to my homies here and the dealership would not do it at all. At the time I didnt think it would stay a cluster f#ck that it is..lol

I would take the damn thing and sell it for more, You can even try to find a buyer here and see if you get any bites. good luck

Cancel the order. Best case, you get your deposit back. Worst case, you don't get your deposit back. Should've cancelled the moment you made the decision to buy a different car.

Agree. This would be the right and responsible thing to do. Or if you decide to keep, sell it on your own and roll the dice.

Hmmmmmm, first and only post, smells like some chum just got thrown in the CF water to see if we would bite. If the post is real, then it's simple, it's not your spot to sell. The dealer owns the car, the dealer ordered the car, the only thing the deposit bought you was the right to buy the car as you've configured it.

I don’t know which dealer it is, but at MM it’s a definite no.

Let's see if I am NOW hearing this correct...

So the dealer can make money in the car but Joe capitalist can't?

All we hear are those members ranting and raving about capitalism when it comes to dealers charging over sticker.

But that doesn't apply to the entrepreneur?

Pick a side and stick to it you hypocrites. Its laughable how some speak out of both sides of their mouths.

As long as the salesman and dealer owner (the millionaire how many times over in most cases) makes out like a bandit.. all is well..

Get the heck out of here.

If the guy agrees to pay for the car? Who cares where it goes.

For the dealer to interject and say "NO NO NO.. Only we can charge over sticker here" shows you how capitalism really works in this country. The rich keep getting richer while holding everyone else with ambition and foresight to make some cash down.

No different than buying from a wholesaler and selling it for more at retail.

Can't wait to hear this repsonse logic...

The ONLY people taking the stance of "its not your slot to sell" should be dealer owners and greedy salesman.

Sheep.

Phil1098

Did you party too much last night? He ISN'T BUYING the car period, he bought something else. He is asking about selling his position and it's not his to sell.

23/C8Z

how about this. His name is there. He can buy the car. The dealer gets paid. The car goes in someone else's name who is the dealer to stand in the way of this?

Do you get that?

Obviously, you own a car dealership then?

Someone sees the chance to make a legit buck and you say no. who are you to say that??

Dealer asked for msrp right??

So if he sells that car for xxx over but dealer gets msrp thats not good enough??

Why....

Just answer that... just that..


Its ZERO different than the OP being a broker. And everything has brokers. Look at stocks. Look at construction. Heck.. look at the car dealer..


Look at it this way.

Either its Walmart and home depot..

Or 25 small stores and home improvement centers.

One way a select few rich people get richer and the other way wealth is spread out for more to have without handouts... but the rich they don't like that.

Phil1098

You can't see the forest for the trees. It's NOT his car, it's the dealerships car. The only thing he has is the right to buy it, that's all.

23/C8Z

can't help you. You are actually the one who can't see this for what it is.

tsigwing

The dealer buys the car from the manufacturer. You buy the car from the dealer Its the dealers car. If the OP wants to spec out a car for someone and then sell it after he purchases it, good for him. But its not his car until he buys it from the dealer.

Phil1098

No, it's you who doesn't get it. Did the guy with the deposit order the car from GM or did the dealer? Oh, the dealer. When the MSO gets mailed out, does it come to the guy with the deposit or to the dealer? Oh, the dealer. When GM invoices the car, do the funds get sucked out of the guy with the deposit bank account or the dealers open parts account? Oh, the dealer. If the there is a change of policy and because of a market adjustment, the price is now MSRP + $20k ADM, how can that happen if it's the guy with the deposit car?

I suspect his choice is to buy the car then hope to sell ir foe a profit. Those days are limited in time. As more and more C-8s hit the streets,they'll become worth less in the resale market. The dealer has every right not to allow the 'slot' to be sold. If the OP decides to buy and resell, he'll have the sales tax to recover too. He should have notified the dealer as soon as he decided not to wait, that would have been the ethical thing t do. Frankly I hope the OP's greed backfires.

23/C8Z

MSO? Big deal. Fancy acronyms? Lol

Here's the deal. MOST dealers finance the cars about 99% of them. They pay a few hundred over 30 days per vehicle. If that vehicle is sold within the first 30? They spend zero.

Stop the crying for the dealer. They aren't laying out any extra whether Joe Capitalist comes on with Bob and Bob buys the freaking car at msrp and Joe capitalist walks away with 5k.

If Joe Capitalist was walking away with 20 bucks and bringing people into that dealer all day long??

The dealer would kiss his ***.

But the dealership is trying to take every penny they can. Good for them .

They offered the car at msrp. Thats the deal they made to that BUYER. If that BUYER wants to sell it to the next guy and hands over the msrp to dealer? Who is the dealer to deny it?

I'll tell you who. the greedy pig. Its that simple Phil.
