Taking A Stroll To Boardwalk Chevrolet...

[RrCoX22]

...sometime next week. Gonna get some info and financing for a C6z :stretch: ...we'll see how it turns out. no hits on the car basically has led me to trade it in :shake: wonder how much I'll get for it... be lucky if I get back 10k :jester:

...any other dealerships I should hit up?

might try stewart chevy in daly city. you can talk to Mike Keylin, they're internet sales manager. You can say I sent you. Jarrod is my name. Dunno if it'll do anything but worth a call. =P

The market is great right now for buyers, don't let the salesmen play hard ball and try to convince you otherwise :smash:

Seriously, you'll get ripped at Boardwalk. If you want to try some place good, try Sunnyvale Chevrolet. The only other place I'd recommend is Courtesy in San Jose/Santa Clara.

Don't pay anything other than true GM employee pricing, and assuming you have good credit that had better be teamed up with a very low interest rate. I've heard talk of getting the employee pricing AND 0% for 60 or 72 mo, but I haven't seen that officially advertised.

Problem is that they wont let you DRIVE the car. If you lock in some price, prove you have the money and start paperwork, they will let you dive the car 2 - 3 miles and thats it.

who wants to buy a 70k car and not drive it?

You can go to mercedes and drive a 100k car home for the weekend and then decide you dont want it. it's ridiculus they way they do things.

It is a bit off-putting, but you have to think about a) the joy-ride factor and b) perspective buyers.

Not a lot of ppl try to talk their way into a S class or something like that for a joy-ride... just not that thrilling (unless it's an AMG, and you WILL NOT be test driving those w/o proving your finances). But cars like the C6Z you do have a LOT of ppl trying to get joy-rides. That being said I think the same is true for Porsches and I've test driven a few P-cars (most recently a Cayman S with a sticker that reached into the high 70s IIRC) so it is frustrating that you can't drive the Z.

But think about it from the buyer's perspective. If I'm buying a brand-new C6Z there had better be extremely low miles on it. I would not buy one that I knew had been on test drives. It's going to get driven hard on a test drive yet it's not properly broken in yet. If I'm going to pay the $10-15k extra for a brand-new one vs. a "like-new" used car w/ ~5k mi on the clock it better be 100% virgin. In fact, for a new C6Z I'd probably only take on if I got to watch it come off the truck.
