Dealerships selling way too high for used C7?

Tell them to email you the papers, print them and sign, then scan and email them back.

Yep I suggested the scan thing and or I could even express post my signature on their document. He said he know some people who do that all the time in Ontario but Quebec has different laws.
Supposedly not legal here but they aren't 100% sure if it is or not or maybe they are afraid of scams. The director will check into it.
 
The deposit was cashed in...So now funds needs to be wired in a few days, I need to hire a flatbed tow truck and find storage. I checked yesterday my local Uhaul heated garage its full but it was very reasonable at 105$/month. If I can't find a place it'll be an igloo in the driveway, gotta be careful with the snow blower! Motion sensors will have to be relocated too.
 
Thanks to everyone for helping out with excellent advice and a big thanks to @Rruuff Day for the video of the little boy turning into an old man who dies before getting his dream car. Many thanks for the video because it made my GF change her mind about me getting one. Not 100% but close enough. Even that last week end when I was looking at a Z06 with side skirts at a dealer she said OH HELL NO, they'll rip off at speed bumps. So while going grocery shopping I drove her to all the stores we go to, showing how I would be able to circumvent the store speed bumps by literally driving at the far end of each lot. Baby steps and positive reinforcement. :p


Now hopefully they don't try to squeeze in unmentioned fees. Price plus taxes, no more.
 
I'd say he likes the Firestones. Other than the clear Lexan targa, all the targa roofs are carbon fibre on the C7's. Exposed carbon fibre is the option, painted carbon fibre was the norm.

This is the exposed CF roof

The car looks quite nice. Has the black wheels, spoiler front and rear, and rockers and the front grill strip is blacked out. I'm guessing that's an extra $2,000 spent. Is the roof clear or carbon? If it has NPP that's another $1,500. Good luck.

Last night I went on the GM site and built it with the options he chose and the retail price if I didn't mess it up (taxes included) was around 94K. WOW!! 4 years later that's a saving of around 33K. I must be missing something.

It’s called depreciation. Your savings, congrats on your new wheels!

What was your msrp you calculated without the tax?

Standard Vehicle Price
$69,570

I might of did it wrong and numbers are surely off but it turned out to be at $80,950 or $73,950 by paying cash

Ya original 2016 MSRP around $80k would be about correct I would think. 😁👍🏻
plus the tax and etc

I’m going to mis this thread. Better than Y&R.

Oh what's Y&R, I want to go check it out.

Don't worry I'm not done yet I'll be starting a new thread. I need to get it ready for the Italian Festival, sure it won't be in the parade or doing pulls with the high rollers but people will see it parked on the same street where the festival takes place. Gotta save more money because I'm putting a wing out back and I started to collect pictures of the partial wrap I want to put on. I'll be asking for opinions and advice.

One of my goal was to be able to pay it cash for the reason that I've had a hard life working construction for bad employers in worse working conditions and working only a few months every year. To make it worse the government suddenly changed the construction laws on hiring the labor force leaving me and hundreds of guys in the city jobless for years. One guy had to scrounge metal on garbage night. Finally I was nearly bankrupt with one month left worth of money in the bank account. I decided to open my one man shop. Some freaking co-worker who was a friend but I learned he wasn’t really when he smirked at me when he learned I opened shop. At that time I had just gotten my business licence I was working for my last employer who was a pit bull cocaine fiend. I was saying yes sir, right away sir while I was doing jobs in the evenings, weekends and during vacations so I could buy expensive tools of the trade. I had to hide my beat up work van twice on another street when the boss showed up at my house wanting me to falsify my time sheets. I had to tell to go when I said no and calling the cops when he threatened me with bodily harm.

After that time seeing those u-tube videos of guys displaying daily their exploits of supercar ownership and them saying gotta work your butt off if you want one of these, it inspired me. I spent thousands of hours on researsh, buying books, taking notes, studying for my exams while sitting on the throne, asking advice from fellow business owners in the US on building a business. Building a website, marketing and working for each customer one at a time. Sure it’s not a lambo but it’s better in a way because it won’t break down like them as often, I can repair it when it decides to go down and won’t have to pay 10K for some obscure part from Italy.

Ya ... we honestly would not have spent so much time along side as you got through this Corvette Hunt ... if we thought a lambo was better for you. I drive by our Calgary Lambo dealership a lot and they always look great in the window. I consider a Corvette purchase as a hard-earned acquisition. A lambo purchase is only spending a whole lotta money. Many who own/drive a Corvette are doing so as a result of a story as worthy as yours. Congrats 👍🏻
 
I don't know about Quebec, in Ontario, it is required by law to have an OMVIC certified witness to the signing of all contracts for the purchase or lease of a vehicle. Sometimes it is overlooked, due to convenience, but scanned copies would never be accepted during an audit. Sending contracts by Purolator happen from time-to-time.

Also, in Ontario, it is illegal for a dealership to charge anything other than taxes and licensing over an advertised price.

That being said, if you are paying below advertised, they can charge additional fees (but it should be written out that the final negotiated price is the out-the-door price. This is the buyer's responsibility).

I suggested the salesman I could go to a notary (who's recognized by the supreme court here) to be a witness but the director said no. I have to drive 3 hours this saturday to meet halfway. I also asked him if there'd be any extra fees and he said usually on every sale we add 400$ delivery fee but it's only mentioned when we pull out the contract. I told him the car isn't even at the dealer and it's at the seller's house. He replied to me he had told his boss previously my offer included that fee. For argument's sake I explained if I didn't mention fees or prices to my customers before I even headed out to them they would be so freaking pi$$ed and wouldn't pay, I'd get a formal complaint, I'd be summoned in front of 4-5 judges and receive a hefty fine.

If I had the corvette it'd be my pleasure to take that drive but alas it'll be in my old rusty truck. Haha my GF said that's expensive for that car so I replied so you did some research too and compared the other online cars and comparing each other's options right? Nope. She then said you have the money in your bank account? Yes hon, I wouldn't buy it otherwise... She then asked what are you going to do if your truck dies, well that one was even easier to reply, I'll use the corvette! Ha! Come on I'll just buy another 2-3K old truck like I've been doing for the last 20 years! I also have my work van... I'm not short on wheels!

... on the topic of truck buying 👆🏻...
(should be ok to say because it is not my own ...)
I’ve got an unadvertised lead on a Loaded 2007’ish Chevy LTZ Avalanche with 190,000km. Very very clean and well maintained ... seller asking $15k obo ... in Alberta and a GST free private sale. Just in case ... as one never knows who will jump at this opportunity 😁👍🏻 Even has back dvd screen and headphones for the family driver ...
