Strickland have 4 C8 for sale including a Z06 all used

I was in there yesterday, they have a 70th Anniversary in the showroom nothing else on the lot.
The 70th had a sign on it stating if you ordered one like it the cost would be $103,000.
No one could tell me if it was a customer car or not.
It was white with black interior, very underwhelming for a C8.

I heard that Strickland allows VIPS bypass the list

it was not a 70th car if it had a black interior. The 70th special editions are a two tone white/black.

I may have misread the small sign they had in the window, I didn't notice red seatbelts and I thought they all had
red belts.
I'm going back in on Monday I will spend more time checking it out and ask if it's for sale or sold.

I can't comment on that I haven't heard either way.
I'm told they get 9 to 12 Vettes a year.

That 70 badge on the door is a dead giveaway without even looking inside.

Yes except some owners are installing the badging to make their car appear to be a 70th.

Lame...

I'm sure there were C7 owners making their Stingrays look like Z06's or GS's etc.
Camaro Z28 owners put SS hoods on and SS badging and called them SS's etc.
And on it goes.

Which is why when you buy a vehicle you need to do your homework.

Caveat Emptor.

Wlgj- so far you have 415 posts of which 325 are complaining about how you have been waiting years for the C8, how bad GM is to la belle Province, and how you mistrust your dealer. 50 are complaining about how your car came earlier than expected, and 40 are complaining about how the dealer is hosing you on the trade in for your C7.
Nothing would please every member on this forum more than to hear about your excitement after sitting in your C8 and driving it! Please try to be happy about getting the car! Glass half full!

Remember you, telling me, about all my complaining and not trusting my dealer. My dealer tried to sell me a 4 years warranty on top of the original, for 4125.00$ taxes included. So because, I did not trust them , I phoned another dealership and behold I have a price of, 2750.00$ taxes included. I was lied to about so many things, since I have been dealing with them , like delivery dates, how much I would get for my C7s, when I sell them, cost of certain products, etc. The thing is , with todays markets , for cars especially, you get stuck with who you dance with and have to eat all their bullshit. May be you call it complaining but I call it being diligent . Like I said, I was stating facts. Not trying to be a pain in the a..

Re post # 126....Yes,,a number of 2023's are being advertised as anniversary models...Was watching B-J yesterday and a black coupe went through as an anniversary edition..

Went for around $170,000 cdn. Turns out it was just a nice black Z51 with a stripe and red and black interior...Someone will be surprised when they see a real anniversary edition, if that's what they thought they were getting.

@wlgj you have 3 days left until your new toy is in your garage, your journey is almost over and soon will be just a bad dream that will fade away when you hear the cold start of that 6.2L V8

Yes , just sad, that it will be a two starts, one at the dealer, to bring it on the closed float and the next , to back it up in my garage.

I might just open the garage door , once in a while , to hear it growl.

Lol- my point was not soo much about the complaining, but rather that you should be happy you’re getting a car that 99.999999% of the world will never get to drive! And if your biggest complaint is that the dealer will make $5000 profit from your trade in, then that’s a pretty good problem to have! No harm meant by my comments- enjoy your car!
