ZL1 lease quote

What if you show up for said drive and the car already has 100 miles on it from the previous 5 potential owners doing the same thing? I think what many are getting at is that you narrow your perspective buyer each time that type of car is test driven because most new car buyers want as close to 0 as possible.

Me? Dealer sent an 85 year old man 150 miles to drive mine back. Had 180 miles on it when I took ownership. I didn't care I bought it as a driver. Has 48,000 on it now.

Like I said, nothing stopping people like you from ordering one.

I'm also of the mindset that the more hell you give it during break in the harder it will run later.

It always intrigues me when people say that. What facts do you have that supports that statement?

I have plenty of owner's manuals from manufacturers that spend BILLIONS of dollars on R&D that tell me otherwise.

At that price range there are several cars that I would be looking at. Since many dealers do shady shit like run your credit several times, I am not going to give access to my credit until we are ready to make a deal. If I want to test drive a vette, zl1, m3, gt350, gt-r and find out which one suits me best, that is part of the car shopping experience. If I can't test drive your product, then you've already lost me to your competitor. Most people who own $80k performance cars, do not use them as their primary vehicle. Not only have you lost me for this sale, you've also lost me for future sales of $60-70k trucks and suvs.

After reading your posts, I'd be more than happy to lose you as a customer; not because I don't like you, you're whiny, and entitled, but because customers like you make my job not enjoyable.

Life is too short not to enjoy what you do.

Some people will look at that as "Nick is hard headed, Nick is a dick, with Nick turning down business by not bending over backwards for a customer he's an idiot..." Quite frankly, I don't care.

I treat my customers with the same respect that I expect them to treat me with. Do I go above and beyond for customers? Yes. Do I go above and beyond for customers that don't deserve it, in my opinion, hell no. Not a chance.

At the end of the day, I'm here to sell cars; but during the middle of the day I want to have a blast getting to know my customers, their families, grabbing beer with them, etc. The end of the day pays the bills, but the in-between makes me get out of bed every day excited to go to work.

Fact is, if I walk into a dealer and want to drive a z06 or a 911, they are going to take my license and insurance and put a salesman in the car with me and we are going for a ride in $100k+ sports car. I'm going to find some corners and see how they handle and I'm going to run it through the gears to see how it launches and shifts. I also want to feel the car out for its personality. I'm buying the car for those reason, not for the car to sit there and look pretty. If a sports car is so fragile it can't handle a few blasts through gears, then it's not my kind of car anyway.

Yeah not every Chevy dealer is going to let you test drive a Z06. Regardless, it’s about respect for the potential owner of the vehicle not whether or not the car “can handle it”. I mean that from the dealers perspective.

 

[ssj4sadie]

Not even to mention a Ford and Chevy dealer see way more foot traffic than a Porsche or Audi dealer. I wouldn’t want to waste my salesman’s time attending joy rides in a flagship model. Number wise, joy riders>the uninformed customer>the undecided customer>actual customer of a performance vehicle.

That's where you're wrong. I don't get my feelings hurt about some random person on the internet.

Just like I don't get my feelings hurt when someone tells me they won't buy a specialty car from me because I won't let them drive it beforehand.....WHICH HAS HAPPENED EXACTLY 0 TIMES.

I've never met someone that wouldn't listen to reason, and understand why we don't make a habit of tossing keys to specialty vehicles to everyone who rolls up in a Miata.

If I'm buying a GT500 or Z06 I already know I want it, and don't want 20 test dummies and dreamers putting miles on my car. I don't want any more miles on it than it takes to get backed off the truck and PDI'd. If it has 50 or 100 miles on it I won't buy it unless there is a major concession to the price.

Exactly, think most of us here have had numerous mustangs, svt vehicles to be at peace with that. I definitely wouldn’t have bought mine if it it had 300 miles on it, not looking for the village bicycle.

I don't let customers test drive GT500/GT350s either.

So what happens if you buy it, drive it, and then dont like it?

He’s saying you can drive it once you show that you are serious enough to buy it once the test drive is over.

He’s not going to let a guy take it on a 30 min test drive while he’s having his focus oil changed or the guy who’s just killing time while his wife gets her nails done take it out.

Preach buddy.

What happened to the days of building personal relationships, based on treating each other right?

This thread would be awesome if more people bought great cars at under sticker. It would be even more awesome if "said people" beat the crap out of their cars at a race track while giggling like a school girl. I burned a full tank of gas in less than 60 minutes on the track and it was epic. You can do this in a ZL1.

Live the dream in the awesome time of 600+ HP factory cars.

Pretty soon all you'll be talking about what your battery charge level, your low carbon foot print, recycled windshield wipers, and what the resolution of your on screen display is.

Find a dealer that works for you. I found one that let me drive a couple cars and "SHOCKER" I bought one from them.
