      He wasn't sold a car

      He wasn't guaranteed he could order a car
      And no, I wouldn't be pissed because one thing I've learned in my 61 years: count your blessings and don't sweat the small stuff.
      This guy has a great family, a multi million dollar home, a half million vacation home, has a beautiful C8 corvette convertible, can drive bentleys, corvettes, aston martins, has millions in income from investment properties, can afford to buy just about any vehicle he could ever imagine, and he's on here whining about not being the first to buy THIS one particular vehicle.
      No, sorry, just NO. Only in the west can someone feel "hard done by" because they lost their place to order a $120,000.00 vehicle.

    Someone inside the stealership diverted your order for fun and profit. Saw this happen to a guy I worked for back in the day when he ordered the Chevy SS454 pickup from a Hendrick dealership. Unfortunately for the salesman that hijacked his truck, my boss was a close personal friend of Rick Hendrick. He called Rick, got him out of a GM board meeting, and told him what happened. Rick told him not to worry, he would have his truck the next day. When I showed up for work The next morning, there was a brand new SS454 sitting in our parking lot. The window sticker said it came from a dealership two states away. There was also an unemployed salesman.

I think it’s because they selling used cars and I know 4 people that ordered cars from carvanna during the pandemic. 3 had to return the cars/not accept at delivery because the car would have multiple faults or damages. Only one person kept their car but they regret it now and it also came with some faults like 4 bald tires (safety) and couple of other things… he had to spend almost $3k on top to get it right and carvanna promised to reimburse but played games with him when it came time ti pay… in the end they gave him $250 courtesy check 🤣

    I feel you a bit here Craig, I also have had issue with the exact same Chevy dealer, I’ve been trying to three months to simply set up a service appointment to get my air bag done in my 2013 silverado. I’ve called several times and left voicemails, talked to service reps and walked in and tried with absolutely zero help or service done. I live up in northern maine (6 hours one way) and have been trying like hell to get it serviced through them and only then as they’ve always treaded me well and always done good work on my personal vehicles (when I lived in NH) and family but now after all this and over a simple air bag recall that I had zero problem scheduling out when they got the shipment I will no longer buy or bring another vehicle from a chevy to a Ferrari to them for anything at all they have entirely lost my business and my families business from here on out. It’s sad but I will be finding a new dealer to buy from and bring in my vehicles for service from this point on especially now hearing what you’ve been though which is far worse than my very simple air bag recall…. Best of luck Craig you’re a all around good dude and I’m glad to know ya you’re definitely the one guy that does truly deserve that car and have been treated like a second class citizen. Betley you need to do better and weed out the bad seeds before it bankrupts you treating customers like this. End rant

My honest dealer honored the price which had been discounted from list. He actually offered us $10k to not take the car which we didn't take. It was a great little car that we drove for several years. Added sport springs and custom 18" Intro billet wheels.

Several emails and voicemails later and still nothing. My stance is F em

    I got in a list about 15 persons long (at the time )from a large So Calif dealer for my Z06 in Jan 2023. Since many orders before me wanted Z07's with carbon goodies.... (they are still waiting for those cars to be built) which I don't care about. I went ahead of all those orders , and received the dealers first allocation slot for a 2024 and my order went in officially in July 2023. The order was processed , but the riptide blue metalic paint was not available at the very start of the production run . Dealer asked me if I wanted to change color, but I did not. So I moved to the delayers second Z06 allocation for 2024 several weeks later, the car was built in 3 weeks , delivered to California 8 days later At MSRP , no games , and the price was frozen at the order date price (an $2k+ increase had occurred by GM) , and honored . Can't have been happier.

    Quick question 🙋‍♂️, if the dealership can’t make money from selling cars, why would they fix it? who’s going to do the service? with no dealerships, The Manufacturers ie Ford, Honda, GM is not going to fix your car 😂. Dealership are privately owned, so without them the prices for repairs, timing to get cars fixed quickly and non under warranty things would be crazy expensive. They have to make money some where right? GM doesn’t want the responsibility or the headaches.

I was given a paper with a price found out two years into my payments that they had added all sorts of add ons and fee and that original price they gave me they had marked up also. You think if you have something in writing they’ll stick to it but then they make you sign 500 papers after hours of waiting and you find out you signed something completely different than what you had originally negotiated. They pass you off from one person to the next until your tired and confused and then they take advantage. Car buying can be a really shitty experience, now they blame it on shortages but they’ve been playing the same game all along just have an excuse to gouge even more now.
