[QUOTE="gone, post: 324671, member: 5899"] Now that things look to be going back to "normal" with new C8's being more readily available, please remember those dealers who chose to sell at MSRP (max) while others jumped on the "greed-it's only market rates-everyone else is doing it-who cares about customer long-term loyalty" bandwagon. I think we should reward those dealers who took the long-term view and decided to make their normal profit, rather than dealers who sold past C8's and ignored lists and sold to the highest dollar, many times shunning long-term loyal customers. Something for you to consider when spending those hard-earned dollars, which were just as hard to earn when trying to swing a past deal with dealerships looking for way over MSRP. Remember that the dealer network will see a dealership who is low on stock (ie. Corvettes) working out a stock swap with a dealership who has an abundance of a particular type of vehicle. So in other words, even if a dealership you'd prefer to work with, doesn't have a Corvette for sale or one with the specs you're looking for, it might be able to source out a Corvette for you from a different dealership.

This also applies to warranty or other servicing work. Consider favouring dealers who favoured their customers in the past, with your business. Something to think about. My 2 cents.
