I'm New Here
Hello CCF members.
I don't post much here but I have a question for you all. Here's a little background first:
I put a deposit down for a C8 in May 2021. I picked a dealership close to my home as I wasn't in a super rush to get one since I'm moving into my new home soon.
Since day one i have had bad vibes with the salesman. Despite me bringing in two friends to also order a C8, we have all been in the dark with the entire process. He even called us back in to ask us to drop more deposit because his dealer principal wanted to filter through flippers and real buyers, fine. We went in to give the additional deposit. This guy for some reason cancelled my friends order because his boss felt like he wasn't a serious buyer (he put down a deposit). Said friend got upset then cancelled the order and bought a Tesla instead.
Since then he has called back three times to tell me my Corvette was ready, not allocated, but in the dealership (lol?). After a call with him I found out he was trying to push a cancelled order on me (and my friends). I told him thanks but it's not what I ordered. I wanted a 2LT Coupe with Z51. He did this another time a few months later.
Today he calls me again and he said, congratulations your car is in (non Z51). Once again it wasn't what I ordered and he suddenly went full ignorant/rude and proceeded to tell me that Chevy is no longer sending them anything Z51. I told him there's no way.
That brings me here. I obviously know he's talking shiet and although I can appreciate him trying to make a quick sale, his tone, approach, and misinformation is on par with a shady used car lot salesman.
Am I nuts for turning him down a third time? Is Z51 really not being sent up here? He claims they haven't had one come in for 9 months.
Am I better off taking my deposit back and going to another dealership to start over? I'm lost right now and have nothing. I am over a year in and I feel like this guy is beyond incompetent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
