That z06 went to a employee's family member to probably flip and split the $$. People freaking suck Craig, be happy knowing you're not like that. Much respect my friend.

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.
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
It's Betley Chevrolet in Derry NH. Lets remind them why customer service is crucial
I have a new video up
how do we know they didn't make another customer happy? Craig is unhappy because he wanted wanted wanted a z06. Stamping his feet like a 6 year old. I like him, he's a great guy, but I'll call him out when he acts up.
i went on their website and did a complaint review... i doubt they allow it to be posted...
@@muskokamike127 if you wanted a car and waited for a year only to be told that it was sold to another customer you'd also be pissed.
@@honeybadger1656 WRONG, he waited a year to find out if he could POSSIBLY order a car.
It wasn't his car
He wasn't sold a car
He wasn't promised 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.
8 years ago I had health issues. They didn't allow me to work. I had a cat scan that showed a blood clot in my brain. I screwed up the days at the food bank and I DIDN'T EAT FOR 3 DAYS!!!
Come back and tell me how hard done by craig is because he didn't get to order a corvette.
That's exactly how my wife feels. She's told me she would never set foot in a car dealership again because of the shenanigans.
Used car dealer getting screwed over from a dealer on a car, poetry.
Lol
This comment is gold!
these dealerships need to be expossed so people dont buy from them and that leads to going out of business of bad companies
Yep. This is so funny hearing this guy complain about what other car people have to deal with every single day.
And complaining about a business relationship then citing personal frustration (about making videos with someone ELSE’s car) as what made him take this here.
They knew you wouldn’t pay 50k over MSRP so they went down the line and went to the highest bidder. They all do exactly that!
You are 1000000% correct! it’s business plain and simple, pay or keep walking 🚶♀️.
For more years that I can remember, this world has been run on ego and greed, and at some point down the line this nastiness has to stop. What does it take to wake us up? Glad you made this video, Craig. And I really hope you get a million views on this one. Best regards from a car detailer in Norway 🙂
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
They obviously got more than $10g over msrp.
If you wanted a Z06 that bad, you should have tried other Chevy Dealers. The insanity is not the Chevy Dealer, but yourself, for not pursuing other Dealers, if you "really really" wanted Z06 bad enough , there are other Dealers and/or methods.
The insanity was trying to do the same failed method , over & over again.
The reason you didn’t get one is because you don’t have many subs compared to other UA-camrs like stradman and others that make car content,not to mention your a car dealer that only wants the z06 to resale for double retail.
Let’s be honest Craig.
You said it exactly Craig. Dealerships have a next customer philosophy, treating customers like a number and soon with new competition they will slowly lose business because of the Tesla/Car Vanna, Vrooms of the world that will deliver straight to your home.
Customer service is vital to stand out, build Clients for life and stay in business.
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
I remember seeing a video from like nbc or msnbc that said carvanna is failing. 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 🤣
At least the bird didn’t crap inside the cabin 😂
They can't even make the effort to give you a fake smile now a days! That's service these days!
It’s hard to feel bad for a rich guy with all of the cars he could want. Has a 2021 vet, upset over not getting a 2022 and making a video upset about it and trying to put them on blast.
No idea how you can be this mad about it, you’ve got 1,000 grapes and mad about 1 sour one.
Not trying to sound like a hater, just my opinion on your video.
He got the grapes and other fruits. Looks like he lives a great life,great family,healthy etc etc. all this nonsense means nothing, it will all go out the window once life bites him in the ass.
Boo hoo poor Craig... you didn't get another $100,000 car 😂
I appreciate the support but Please dont leave the dealer any negative reviews. Retaliation wasnt the purpose for this video. I just wanted to express my frustration in the current market.
Thank you everyone!
I was 2 minutes in and knew right away they were going to get pounded by loyal viewers. LOL
You're a class act Craig, not many guys like you around.
Yes just don't use them for service or to buy a car. They clearly don't give 2 shits about a repeat customer so why would they care about a new customer? i do doubt the owner ever saw an email thought. Probably doesn't check that email often if at all.
Their actions have consequences.............
@@Progress888 While actions have consequences, it's not fair to leave a review for a business you haven't done business with. My business has been on the receiving end. I had an unhappy customer that had all of his friends and family leave negative reviews as if they had done business with me. I had to shut down my website. Even though he was wrong, it cost me a lot of money. Online bullying is not cool.
“Just some salesman” glad you appreciate and acknowledge his effort.
Betley Chevy just got a 1 star review from someone in Cincinnati. lmao
I did the same lol

Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
Hate to point out the obvious. No one has the obligation to sell you a car. They didn't want to sell you the z06. Move on.
They didn't want your $10k mark-up because the other guy paid $20k. Most likely scenario.
not just 20 probably almost 30k because resale value will be crazy. Its just like him saying, i’ve been asking to buy your home for the last year. you’re home last year was worth 200K, I will pay you 210K, but I will not pay the 250K you want and its current worth, Yeah right, GTF out of my home 🏡. I’m going to sell it to the other guy .
There's always some dumb idiot out there willing to pay more so he can be seen. Materialism and narcissistic go hand in hand
@@johngatsby1473 I don't try to assume anybody's motives... If they have the cash to blow then live life and have fun. Capitalism is the American way, but better them than me.
If people stop buying vehicles at ANY markup, guess what, cars will sit on lots and prices come down, period. Don't blame the dealership, blame the idiots that are buying cars at insane prices.
Gotta stop being so nice Craig and put these people on blast
The name of the dealership is BETLEY CHEVROLET he says it at end video

Recession is on the way. Cash in the bank may be more important than a new Vette. JMO
We’ve been in a recession for the last 6 quarters.

Craig there are so many stories about getting scammed by a dealer on the Z06. Even though you begged to put a deposit down, that car had already been sold for more than you were going to pay. It sucks but that's the way the stealers work. Good luck to you!!
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
@@hardup9809 OMG, stop fucking replying in every single comment with this. Enough
Why would you think you could monopolize the dealerships single allocation of not only the C6 but the Z06 as well? That's what? Two model years of Corvette allocations for this dealership? If you really want the car, go to a large dealership and pay the huge markup.
Come on Craig, do you know what you sound like? The rich kid who didn’t get his way. Come on man, move on.
You're not the only UA-camr that does product reviews. Even if you were, what makes your money better than any body else's. Seems to me, you weren't the first one that thought of ordering a ZO6, clearly you weren't.
Just because you think that "you" were the the first one to ask, doesn't mean that you were.
You know as well as anybody, dealers only like/want to sell to other dealers, is when they're stuck with too much, or undesirable inventory. There are people out there willing to pay $50K mark ups. Right, wrong or otherwise, they're in business, for EXACTLY the same reason you are. The had better money, period.
I wish you could order and pay directly to the manufacturer. Then just pick it up from the dealership of your choice.
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.
Wow that is insane, this dealer market is absolutely insane right now. I hope this dealer feels the heat
Nothing is more annoying than not receiving a response when you send multiple emails to multiple people in the chain.. I am going through this issue constantly with suppliers that I deal with. I have a broker doing the same to me at the moment as well.. No response or no apology for their mistakes.. they continue to use the bullsh!t “covid” excuse

Wrong. Nothing is more annoying than trying to give somebody your hard earned money, and they act like they don't want it.
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
he should have gone to the dealer in person
Fucking thank you!!!! They get thousands of emails and calls per day,they probably don’t even know who the fuck he was. Show up in person and show them who is the boss 😂
My dealership did that when I got my 2022 Bronco. I told them HELL NO and we went back and forth from $5000 to $2500 to splitting it down the middle and settling on $1250. I hated it, but I waited for a year and a half and wasn't about to leave without my Bronco.
I feel like dealers know their time is limited in new car sales. So they're trying to milk as much as they can. Operationally there is no need for them, and it's just an extra cost for both the manufacturer and the consumer
As someone said, the other buyer might have given them a markup they couldn’t refuse. So - as you have done before - they sold it to the buyer with the best deal on the table that was ready to go . Unfortunately, s&it happens. Why don’t you just go to another dealer and get in line there and don’t reveal you are a dealer .
The Dealer are allocated one car a year, Craig got it last year and what's it again this year. Is there no end to this man's greed! Let someone else have a dream car mate.
thats not the point he asked to put a deposit down before anyone and was told they would never get one... which is lying to i assume one of there best customers
@@briansweeney2342 Car dealer lying. NO WAY! lol
Bottom line is most dealers don't give a shit ! Doesn't matter how much you spend there . Be patient you'll get one .
Dealers have always been opportunistic on hot, new models or those in short supply. We ordered the first PT Cruiser in the Memphis zone area and then it came in, people were going crazy. 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.
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
Throw the service writer a fifty for lunch and you'll have an appointment the next morning .Why waste time ?
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
If your seriously interested in a Z06 I work for a Chevy dealership in Minnesota and can talk with sales if we're getting a Z06 because no one under my understanding has taken a allocation on one but yes the price gouging is wrong in all aspects forsure
@Flying Wheels
Im very interested www.flying-wheels.com
I had that happen a few years ago with a Mercedes dealer. Same thing no response. I sent a letter to the area manufacturers rep who advised the dealer to make it right.
Craig , you were definitely screwed by that dealer. Good job calling out poor customer service.
Blessings on you finding the right solution. ❤
Theres no making "it" right. They don't even owe you nothing. U didn't put a down payment on it. That's the only way they would owe u anything. There not calling u back because they don't have to. They never owed you anything. In all reality you just didn't do your job if u really wanted it. Your job is to demand your leaving the down payment then they would have taken you serious.
I appreciate your opinion. Theres always 2 sides
@@FlyingWheels your right. I can understand your frustration for sure.
Craig we have a Chevy dealer 5 miles from my house in Cape Coral Florida, Roger Dean Chevrolet. I told them I'd like to order a 2023 Corvette, C8. The salesman told me "Yes we can accommodate your order. You can pick any and all options you want and we sell it to you for full list + $20,000. The car will take 2-4 months to build and deliver. So down here they are adding $20,000 to a new Corvette if you want to order it.
Wow, reminds me of my local Ford dealer, I was in Florida, saw the new Bronco when it was first launched, went back home to upstate New York, was at an event, saw their Bronco, told them I wanted to order one and write the check for it in the spot, 3 years later I am still waiting for that call. Several emails and voicemails later and still nothing. My stance is F em
He was connected to the dealer in a way you weren’t. You know the guy is a fellow golfer or family or super buyer
Nah i dont think it was a connection. Cause they have other guys in line ahead of him. I think this was intentional.
I gotta side with the dealer on this. You bought this current car special order, just what you want, no flipping. Just a few months later you did another video crying because the dealer refused to sell you another vet you liked better stating you would gladly sell this one to buy the newer one you liked better.
Let someone else have a shot, world doesn't revolve around you and your videos.
Dealers are burning all their loyal customers the past year or two . When things get back to normal I plan to be the pain in the rear customer that is looking to get the best price and is willing to purchase from any dealer that is the cheapest. If one dealer is a penny cheaper I will use them instead.
Recently, Texas dealership Covert Chevrolet listed a 2023 Chevrolet Z06 for sale with a $100,000 dealer markup. With options, that brought the price of the car up to an eye-wateringly high $241,995. On a car that starts at $106,395.
I had a very similar experience with an in transit Blazer. It definitely sucks. The scumbag dealer that did it to me was Nalley Chevrolet in Union City, GA. They are greedy liars from the salesman all the way up to management.
Clay Birdyshaw - thanks for the warning.

@@williamhorsley7799 no one cares.
My guess is they got well over 10k market adjustment. $ is not an issue for many buyers of these cars
Welcome to the USA, this is the way of life for all of us. Nothing matters but the bucks.
I totally feel your pain. I live in NY, and after two corrupt dealers and 1 corrupt independent auto broker I got my C8 from FL. And also stay away from Bonmin Chevy in Miami they suck too! Go to Hendrick Chevrolet!

Expecting loyalty from a dealership, how naive!
The Trouble is it is happening across the whole of north america selling to the highest buyer doesn't matter to them if you're first inline
So glad you actually told us the name of the dealership. Your followers will make sure they know how bad they messed up. They already received my email. Completely professional and respectful as I would never want to tarnish your name.... but they got the point.... love what you do, Craig! Keep on keepin on.
It’s fantastic that you said you didn’t want to name them or put them on blast but then highlight the dealership name in the email. Love it.
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
Autocorrect highlighted the name.
Loyalty? Dealers have NO loyalty to anyone other than the Benjamin Franklins. I can't wait until the consumer can just order directly online from the manufacturer and skip all the BS at the dealer. I'd be willing to pay MSRP just to avoid all their BS games and the stress and anxiety that comes with it. Just like with what Uber and Lyft have done to the taxi industry.
There’s a reason that car dealers and salesmen aren’t rocket scientists
Tough. Went to someone who payed more than the 10k. Get over it, everyone and their mother wants this car. You really think you were only one constantly asking about buying one LOL
You are 100% correct, I own a Tesla and will NEVER buy from a regular dealer again, screw them....
Stacey Frank - good to know.

The saying goes, "the sales dept. sells you the first car, but the service dept. sells you all the subsequent ones".
So don't fault the entire dealership, if you've been really happy with their service dept.
If not for dealers getting ridiculous franchise laws passed in every state back in the 1990s, ALL of the automakers would have ditched dealerships and went to online sales.

I just bought one almost like yours from a exotic high end used dealership for a good price. 8 months old with 288 miles and they even had the oil changed too!! For a awesome fair price. IT WAS JUST TIRED OF DEALING WITH CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS!!! And paying the add this add that fees. The BS.
Ummm you did something like that in a previous videos. You sold the car to the first person who came with money vs the other one you promised it to. Pretty much the same. It's a business as you and every one mentioned.
I agree with you 100% Craig. Courtesy, respect, honesty and integrity is taking a nosedive. It has been happening for years but Covid pressed the accelerator pedal.
James, I couldn't have said that any better. You are so right !
@@73hornet What's crazy is that Craig acts like this never happens. This has been happening for decades.Covid ,and the chip issue ramped it up.. Him dropping the " UA-cam videos , I need it ,I'll go viral with content" Then he offers 10K above MSRP for that car ? That's idiotic. If I need to purchase an item over market price in order to be first to review/make videos/make $$$$$ ,I do..People were trading C8s with sub 1K miles for 30K-40K over MSRP right after release.. Now Craig wants to buy one for 10K over ? I realize the dealer jacked him around ,but that's what they do and have done for decades...
Used to work as a new car salesman. Never again, the amount of shit that I saw on a daily basis made me leave 6 months later. Managers and Owners are so corrupt and only care about their commission. Salesmen get thrown under the bus all the time by the manager when it was the managers fault.
I'm sure you stepped in front of someone else when you purchased your vette a year ago. If memory serves you walked in and it was offered to you. It's all about standing in the right place at the right time. Grow up you child.
Good point
3:13 , did I read that right, the dealership wants a $6,000 down payment non-refundable for the Z06 and then they say it'll be applied as a down payment when you pick it up but the vehicle will be sold for $90,000 over MSRP
How is that legal and what kind of BS is that I thought the companies were like Ford and GM were talking down about this and telling the dealers they can't do this
Not going to lie Craig, you sound super entitled in this video. The Dealer doesn't have to sell you the car nor do they owe you anything. Did you provide some traffic to their business buying your C8 from them? Probably. Does that mean that they should be at your every whim? Absolutely not. They did you a favor enough getting your first C8 from them. If anything, you should be happy that another person is getting the opportunity to buy a C8 Z06.
Yes sir
Agree 100%. "I make UA-cam videos so I should automatically be first in line." Also, not gonna blast the dealer but show the dealer name in the emails. Sounds very freaking entitled.
Craig definitely sounds entitled, salty, and privileged on this one. How did he get the allocation for the firs c8? And what is the procedure for getting an allocation? If he claim he could of ordered one on line and by pass the dealer why go though all the nagging and sending so many emails to the dealer? This definitely sounds like a rant from a spoiled child. sound like Craig is letting the slight growth of his channel get to his head. Relax craig.
Only solution is never give that dealership anymore business. And let people know their name. Karma!

Not really a solution because you know what? They most likely won't care whether they get Craig's business or not. Sad but very true with most businesses today!

Car dealerships need to be a thing of the past. The last 4 cars I’ve owned I didn’t even test drive.

Most states have laws that new cars must be bought through dealerships They are a huge lobby group .

We have a law like that in Canada hence why tesla had to go to court to fight it. The reason being is that the manufacturer has NO outlets or direct contact with the customer for product issues.

They wanted to buy it. $700.00 was what I charged the original customer. "how much is that worth"? $700.00. I'll give you $800. No sorry, $900...no sorry, $1000 no sorry.
WHY won't you sell it to meeee? It isnt' mine to sell to you, it's theirs. If you want one, I'll make one for you. No that's fine and they stormed out.
You can't please everyone all the time.
Hey it suck that it happens for real. but at the end, you wanted to do this video. you are doing this video because you are hurt and not because the bad service.... because they are bad already, but you were okay with them.
You are not sharing the name, because you will keep doing business with them. but you want them to somehow make it up to you.
So are you force arming them, to "make it right" ? and what you doing is right because it is you, but if a costumer of yours would have done it to your dealer would be the same?
I love your channel and because you seems decent, but now make me wonder are you that good to your costumers? the mark ups and the "it is a business" it is understanding, hope you dont take it in the wrong way, just hope a bring a point.....
by the way, what do you think about the car financial "bubble"? I would love to see your opinion on that
Im worried about the bubble
I will never buy a car from the dealership your talking about. There service department is great but forget about the sales department. I have walked out of that place mad twice.
I ordered a fiat 500 electric here in UK, kept being told 6 months wait time which kept getting put back, one day was passing dealers so thought would call in, 5 brand new cars sitting there, asked why can't I have one of them, told you can as they have been here for a month, we said "but we rang you every other week for an update asking if they had anything earlier",nothing just not interested.....
You're absolutely right the world is changing and it's easier than ever to order a car online so that dealer takes a profit in the short run but is gonna be out of business in the future. Places like blockbuster and sears also did not grow with the times
I have a new video up
2 bad examples: blockbuster folded simply due to online streaming and sears folded partially because of their "no questions asked" return policy as well as the market changing. Eatons here in Canada did the same: they'd take back clothes that were worn out....
betley chevrolet is the dealership go leave um a 1 star
Blockbuster had a chance to do streaming but laughed at the idea and passed on the opportunity sear stuck with there ancient out of date catalogs instead of using the internet until it was more than past when everyone else was doing it. And yes they did take most everything back that didn't help as well
Unfortunately the mark ups were happening before Covid. I bought a brand new car from a dealership in 2019. 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.
Sad but true!!!
Damn that's horrible but not shocking considering the way many car salesman are.
Probably someone was willing to out bid your $10,000 over MSRP with a $20,000 over MSRP but nobody will admit to their greed.
You're just coming across as a crazy person to them. You were never going to get the car, chill haha.
Nobody dropped the ball... they just saw more money from someone else... period.
Sad but that's completely in their rights and interests. He acts as if they owe him for being a customer, but it was never about anything other than the $$.
@@CMarkem not true. For good businesses its all about the customer and integrity.
These dealership are hopefully going to go extinct. Hate them. Hate buy froma. Stealership. Nothing but horrible experiences
No, they lied to Craig over and over again. Not being there, but seeing all the evidence in this video, that's what clearly happened. What are you struggling with?
@@kelbale I agree they did... they were looking for the highest bidder.
Me, not struggling with anything anymore. I always buy used and private. Easier and 100% always a better deal.
I got my gf a 2017 bmw x1 few years back. In my area, they were going for $27-$30k at the time. Low low miles.
Found a guy a Chicago, paid $23k, shipped for $800.
No dealerships ever again.
@@kelbale you know. I dont even really care to pay a dealership their fees... im actually cool with it. I love capitalism.
But they are snakes. Dealership fee, destination fee. Ass hole fee. Negation process, etc... it just sucks man.
I caved 2 years ago and got a truck, chevy high country, i needed a tax purchase for the business. Traded in a 370z roadster.
Bro I got creamed. Met someone later after the deal thatbworked there. We became friends. She told me what what they did.
Makes me sick to this day. My fault. They got me.
But in my business, its the last thing I want isnto make them ever feel like " I got them"
I want them to feel like theybcouldnt grtbmy vaule anywhere else. Like I am an underground factory of value and qaulity.
Nothing guarantees you were the first to want it. You bought a 2021, people were getting in line for the z06 when they the c8 first arrived.
I turned wrenches for two factory dealerships back in the 1980's and 1990's and can tell you that most car salesmen will lie to customers or at least they would back then, and I doubt anything has changed. I am surprised that you are surprised.
I wonder how long they will have a good rating on google? Not that most dealers care but will be interesting to see in the next few days.

Craig I think your on the right track in exposing what happened to you from this dealer. You need to continue to expose there bad behavior and there lack of accountability. Keep exposing them by name and the owners name until you get a response. Its the only way things will change.
No deposit, no sale. That's the way it works.
GM should be pulling dealership license for this stuff. Article i read the other day said one dealership up charged 100k on the base price.
Craig, I personally know exactly what you're going through. I have experienced what you have for 3 years now. No one cares anymore. No one wants to help anymore. It's as if the go-to response is "no".
You can talk to two different salesmen and get two different responses. Smh
I hope you get one!
Hey betley Chevrolet had Google remove our negative reviews let's redo them!
Everything you do nowadays is met with someone that doesn't do their job. Everything. It's a battle daily to get simple tasks done. And when someone has enough and bursts and goes on a shooting spree, it's deemed a mental health issue. People just gave breaking points and the ridiculous mindset of "not my job" in today's society is pushing people over the edge.
@Andy Dhillon He isn't going through anything. He wasnt promised anything. This is actually entitlement. People with much bigger youtube channels also didn't get one. People with much bigger problems dont whine so much.
@@kirillmitchell888 And how do you know what he's going through? You know him personally?
@@andydhillon1977 That isn't an argument. You are just questioning my credentials for having made a statement.
It would seem that new car dealers around the world are trained out of the same book. That’s exactly what their doing here in Australia as well. As you’ve said dealers have shown they don’t need customers as they can sell cars for more at auction. We need to show them we don’t need them.
Love the content mate keep up the top job !!
I have a new video up
As long as (morons) people keep paying the market adjustment and through the nose to be "the first" they'll keep taking your money.
It's like how con men operate: greed. People want want want and are willing to pay for it so they'll happily take your money. Until people stop, it will keep happening.
It's like drug dealers: they don't go out and hold people down and force them to inject, inhale, snort their product, people come to them. As long as people keep coming to them, they'll keep selling.

Craig, this is the way of the world today. No one cares, no one held accountable, and dealers are unapologetic. It is a screw you mentality. Sorry to hear that! You tried to work with a dealer you have done business with. That means your a good guy. What do they say about good guys finishing last?!? If you want something bad enough you have to be willing to do whatever it takes and what ever needs to be done to attain your need. Lesson learned. Go to wherever you need to go to get what you want and be unapologetic to attain it.
Sean Hannity mentioned on TV a couple weeks ago that he wanted a new corvette, couldnt get one, was willing to pay markup....
