[QUOTE="Zora, post: 141634, member: 4559"] I understand the issues about lacking properly trained salespersons. That is super unfortunate — and true of most brands. I mitigate that two ways, first I never walk into a dealership unless I know everything about a vehicle I am considering buying. I do not mean 98%, but 100%. I know every option, every option code, what can and can not go with every other choice I am selecting. I trust no one except myself when it comes to even ordering a daily driver, and certainly not going to trust the average salesperson (again of every brand). Second, and I do not know whether this is even possible in Canada for one to buy from a dealership that is not the one closest to you, but living in the U.S., I have bought my last three Corvettes from three different dealers — with their average distance from our house being 3,000 miles. Why? Because I extensively research not just the car but the dealership, and then I choose which specific highly-knowledgeable salesperson is their # 1 Corvette person. Buying a Corvette is the second most expensive purchase I have ever made (more expensive even than a couple of houses I have bought), and so it is not location, location, location, but research, research, research before I buy every “next” one.
