[QUOTE="gone, post: 213296, member: 5899"] I must be "dealing" with the right dealers then... I started off contacting the GM dealer closest to my house (Lakewood Chev) only to find out they get next to no Corvettes in. I can't say what their policy would be on MSRP [and much later I learned who the "volume" Corvette dealers in the Edmonton area were: Don Wheaton and Northgate]. I was told by my neighbour and long time member of the local Edmonton Corvette Club that "Mighty Peace Chevrolet Buick GMC" in Peace River, was someone its members liked dealing with. That dealer told me it would NEVER sell for more than MSRP although it knew of other Alberta GM dealers who had no qualms about doing so. But that same Peace River dealer only got a few C8 allocations so my spot on its list wasn't going to result in a C8 until at best 2021. Then my same neighbour told me to contact Capital Chev in Calgary, who was also in good with the local Calgary Corvette Club. That dealer told me as well it would NEVER sell for more than MSRP, expected more C8's in since it did a good Corvette volume and took my deposit...which eventually resulted in my allocation/3000 status order (alright!). I then met with the new car sales manager at Don Wheaton Chev and he confirmed they'd NEVER charge more than MSRP. Finally, I've recently talked to Jeff Easton (with Brian Cullen in St. Catherines, Ontario) and he confirmed he would NEVER charge more than MSRP [U]and[/U] that also applied to any customer cancelled C8 orders. So I think there are several GM dealers out there who DO value their customer base and realize after this current abnormal supply/demand situation settles down, they'll be dealing with buyers who talk to others and their actions now will affect their future reputation and sales... I suspect the CCF members/sponsors who are GM dealers, would also fit into that category and their presence on CCF is evidence of that. Hopefully as members of this Forum, we'll shop wisely and support those dealers who treat us fairly. [/QUOTE]
