Selling allocation

[Gilles27]

Does anyone really believe a dealer is going to let some joe nobody sell his #7 spot for 50k, depending on the dealer this swindler is with #7 could be years out, I feel like inquiring to find out the dealership name just to rat him out, Brian if you’re on CCF be warned! I will be following Kijiji to see where this craziness goes

Yup good luck with this Brian ! You got some documentation to back up your story.
Any one on CCF should stay clear of this fraudster ! Unless you have $50k you want to give away.

Let us know what he says

I'd be interested in where this goes too. Won't be the first nor the last. Would be curious what dealer would let this slip.

Let's say Brian is actually on a list and is honest about this ad...what's wrong with it? Brian buys the car with the next buyers specs, when the car arrives Brian takes delivery of it, then turns around and sells it to this buyer for an extra 50K. Brian gets black listed by GM and he can't buy another vette for a while. Why let most dealerships get this extra easy money when some of us can get it. What is the difference between selling your car on day 1 of ownership or day 365 (a part from going on the GM naughty list)?

I've even heard a story of someone having up to 3 consecutive C8 allocation at a dealership. When time came around, this person contacted some of his friends to see if they wanted one of them. It's like he was standing in line to get tickets for a group.

Interesting notion. It's still a little shady.
As to the story, I doubt any dealer would let someone get away with that unless that dealer was also in on it.

I inquired about this with “Brian” last night, he has no intentions of buying the car and lose the 30k in taxes, Matt that’s the problem with your take, yes he could do it that way but the guy would want you to spec a base 1LT coupe to make any money, if you do a 3LT HTC fully loaded with carbon wheels and all that I would assume anyone paying 50k for an allocation would do all the profit would be gone in taxes

 

[Murray20c8]

He doesn't see why the dealer would care? LOL. I can think of tons of reasons. @WN Jeff Can you wade in on this? I'd be interested in your take.

No dealers going to let him sell his spot to someone else plain and simple.

My dealer told me a buyer on the list for a C8 behind me would have given me $10000 for my spot on the list, so this could potentially happen.

Interesting, my dealer would never even consider it

who is your dealer?

"Would have given me" is a lot different than "Will give me", sounds more like a hypothetical at best.

I call BS

Considering that this member won’t tell us who the dealer is, I think so. He doesn’t have much activity on the forum, but he did ask about how long peoples allocations at Brien Cullens took…

 

[Murray20c8]

Don't blame the messenger guys.

It certainly was not BS. It was offered to me and I have no reason to lie about it.
I don’t want to get anyone (my salesperson) in trouble so I will not be mentioning his name or the dealerships name.

And it wasn’t at Brian Cullens. It was the dealership that sold my first C8 to me.
